Shoot, did I screw up big time? (Signed up for Math IC instead of IIC)

Test Preparation
1

<p>For the SAT Subject Test this Saturday I signed up for IC, thinking that it doesn't make a difference which level I choose. Well, I was wrong. It seems that I have to take Math IIC for schools like Berkeley, UCSD, etc. So, did I just screw up big time here or what? I already signed up to retake the Reasoning Test in Novemeber, but I have yet to sign up for a test for December. Do I still have a chance if I sign up for Math IIC for the December examination?</p>

<p>The schools I'm thinking of applying to are as follows:
Caltech
UC Berkeley (Engineering)
UCSD
UC Davis
UCLA
Cal Poly SLO</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Yes, mathIIc has a very decent curve, you can start studying now and easily get 750+</p>

<p>Err...what question were you responding to?</p>

<p>Just show up on Saturday and take the IIC instead of the IC. Honestly, they don't care which test you take; you could take Chinese or Physics or whatever else you want to, for that matter. At the test center they will give you a big book with all of the subject tests, and you just turn to the page with the one you want to take and fill out the answer sheet the way you're told to so the College Board knows which test you're taking.</p>

<p>BTW, schools "like" Berkeley et al. don't necessarily require the IIC. All UCs, as well as Caltech, only accept the IIC (and Caltech actually REQUIRES it); on the other hand, MIT accepts either the IIC or the IC and has no preference either way.</p>

<p>Won't there be some problems online? I'm "registered" for Math IC online. If the test that they receive is for Math IIC, will they change my profile thing on collegeboard to Math IIC and put in that score?</p>

<p>nope there shouldn't be a problem. you could even take more sat II tests if u wanted to.
Only thing i'm not sure of is whether or not you will be charged a fee (like $20) for changing the type of test</p>

<p>It doesn't matter which subject test you put on the registration form; all that matters is that you signed up for a subject test. The College Board will take care of everything. The on-line stuff is just a convenience; the CB will adjust your records to correspond to the test you take.</p>

<p>Yeah. You can take any of the subject tests offered in the booklet. Say you signed up online for Spanish, Physics, and Chemistry -- it is possible for you to take Lit, Math 2, US History instead on the actual examination. Your score report will reflect the exams actually taken -- in this case, Collegeboard will ignore the fact that you signed up for Spanish, Physics and Chem. They'll just report your Lit, Math, and History scores because you actually took those exams.</p>

<p>Here is the College Board link explaining how you can change your SAT Subject Tests on test day. <a href="http://www.sat.org/student/testing/sat/reg/changes.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.sat.org/student/testing/sat/reg/changes.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>The only thing you can NOT do is add a listening test. I just thought I'd post so that no one else reading this thread is misled about that.</p>

<p>Wow guys, this thread really helped, I signed up for US history instead of chem and now I'm more comfortable with chem.</p>

<p>Thanks OP and responders!</p>

<p>One more question: Roughly how long are the subject tests (Time-wise)?</p>

<p>all are 1 hour long.</p>
