Subject Tests Requirement

<p>I know that Wellesley requests two SAT Subject Tests along with the regular SAT, and I also know that they prefer that one be qualitative and one be quantitative. </p>

<p>I’ve taken the World History test already, and it went fine. I’m getting ready to take one of the Math tests and the U.S. History test. </p>

<p>Two questions: </p>

<li><p>Which Math test would they rather see? I’m a straight A’s math student, going into AP Calc A/B next year, but I’m not so good on SAT math for some reason. </p></li>
<li><p>If I suck at whichever Math test I end up taking, would it be the end of the world if I submitted the two history tests or a history one and the English? Which is better–higher overall scores or having the qualitative/quantitative contrast?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>i can't say what math test they'd prefer. but i think taking math IIC is more in your favor. although it's a bit more difficult than the math I, its curve is much much less harsh.</p>

<p>My D did not bother with either the SATI or the subject tests and just submitted her ACT score. That is a viable option, too.</p>

<p>I'm not positive about what they'd recommend, but I'm pretty sure the rule of thumb is, if you're going into Calculus next year, take Math II. The curve is better, anyway, and they won't be too impressed by a high Math I score.</p>

<p>I really think it's best to have one quantitative SAT II. If you're better in a science, that and an English/History would work. Unless you do really badly on the Math, I'd send it. You could always send three (math + two others), and let them choose, too.</p>

<p>What do you consider a Wellesley-worthy SAT II score?</p>

<p>700 and above?</p>
