<p>I heard you needed to take at least two SAT subject tests to apply for ivy league schools. Is that true? Is it okay to just take 2 or is it better to take more? And does it matter which ones you take? I was thinking of taking Math II, Physics, and English.</p>
<p>For most schools yes, you do need at least two. It also depends on your intended programs. For example, some engineering schools require that you take math ii and physics. So you should know the requirements for all the schools that you are applying to beforehand. Having more than two subject tests may help you slightly but having only two will not hurt your chances. Your three choices sound pretty good to me but make sure that you check to see if you are fulfilling the requirements of the schools that you are applying to.</p>
<p>All ivies require two SAT subject tests if you submit SAT. Columbia, Brown, Yale and Penn accept ACT in lieu of both the SAT and the the SAT subject tests. As to taking more than two, most that require SAT subject tests use those two tests with the highest scorers if you submit more than two and thus a third may be helpful if you score somewhat low in another. Harvard and Princeton state that the two highest scores are the more important subject test scores but they will give some consideration to any scores sent. As noted above, in considering what to take, you should first check to see if one or more subjects are required or recommended by the college for the majors you are considering, such as a math and science for engineering or science majors. </p>
<p>I know that is not relevant- but can someone please answer this sat questions? </p>
<p>"These stories of absence are interesting not so much because of what the say about the lowly status of the wood-cased pencil as an artifact as because of what they say about our awareness of and our attitudes toward common things, processes, events, or even ideas that appear to have little intrinsic, permanent, or special value. An object like the pencil is generally considered unremarkable, and it is taken for granted. It is taken for granted because it is abundant, inexpensive, and as familiar as speech.</p>
<p>Yet the pencil need be no cliché. It can be as powerful a metaphor as the pen, as rich a symbol as the flag. Artists have long counted the pencil among the tools of their trade, and have even identified with the drawing medium. Andrew Wyeth described his pencil as a fencer’s foil; Toulouse-Lautrec said of himself, “I am a pencil”; and the Moscow-born Paris illustrator and caricaturist Emmanuel Poiré took his pseudonym from the Russian word for pencil, ‘karandash.’ In turn, the Swiss pencil-making firm of Caran d’Ache was named after this artist, and a stylized version of his signature is now used as a company logo.</p>
<p>The pencil, the tool of doodlers, stands for thinking and creativity, but at the same time, as the toy of children, it symbolizes spontaneity and immaturity. Yet the pencil’s graphite is also the ephemeral medium of thinkers, planners, drafters, architects, and engineers, the medium to be erased, revised, smudged, obliterated, lost - or inked over. Ink, on the other hand, whether in a book or on plans or on a contract, signifies finality and supersedes the pencil drafts and sketches. If early pencilings interest collectors, it is often because of their association with the permanent success written or drawn in ink. Unlike graphite, to which paper is like sandpaper, ink flows smoothly and fills in the nooks and crannies of creation. Ink is the cosmetic that ideas will wear when they go out in the public. Graphite is their Q2: <dirty truth="">.</dirty></p>
<p>A glance at the index to any book of familiar quotations will corroborate the fact that there are scores of quotation extolling the pen for every one, if that, mentioning the pencil. Q1: <yet, while="" the="" conventional="" wisdom="" may="" be="" that="" pen="" is="" mightier="" than="" sword,="" pencil="" has="" come="" to="" weapon="" of="" choice="" those="" wishing="" make="" better="" pens="" as="" well="" swords.=""> It is often said that “everything begins with a pencil,” and indeed it is the preferred medium of designers. In on recent study of the nature of the design process, engineers balked when they were asked to record their thought processes with a pen. While the directors of the study did not want the subjects to be able to erase their false starts or alter their records of creativity, the engineers did not feel comfortable or natural without a pencil in their hands when asked to comment on designing a new bridge or better mousetrap."</yet,></p>
