<p>Is it a good idea to take Subject tests? Does it help the application dramatically?</p>
<p>It all depends on the school. Many do not require or recommend Subject tests, go to the college websites and see read the admissions information. </p>
<p>Some schools require them, some recommend them and some don’t want them at all. </p>
<p>Ivy leagues usually want them. Johns Hopkins favors 2 SAT Subject Tests (science or math, and other), but not required.</p>
<p>Guys. Check out this link for the list of schools that require/recommend SAT2.

<p>Don’t forget that SAT2 scores may also be used for placement and scholarship evaluation.
For competitive schools that only recommend it, you should treat it as required</p>
<p>Colleges say it’s not required but they want them. Trust me.</p>
