Submitting Both Levels of Math SAT2

Colleges and Universities A-Z Princeton University

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I have a question regarding Princeton's SAT2 policies. During my high school career, I took 4 different kinds of sat 2's (literature, bio, math l1, math l2) and it happens that my 3 highest scores are bio, math l1, math l2. Will Princeton consider my three highest scores, (even though two of my highest scores are from math), or will it consider only my higher math sat 2 score and thus look at literature (for the sake of including three different subject areas)?</p>

<p>Your response will be much appreciated.</p>

<p>It's my understanding that the three tests must be in different subject areas- like, you can't submit both US and World History, or Math I and Math II. So I would say that they will probably just consider the higher math, lit and bio.
From the website:
"All applicants must submit official score reports of the SAT Reasoning (formerly SAT I) and SAT Subject (formerly SAT II) Tests—in three different subject areas."</p>

<p>what about harvard and yale and etc.? </p>

<p>if i knew that, i'd take my math ic again. not fair!!! EVERYONE TOLD ME THAT MATH IC DON'T COUNT.</p>

<p>"in three different subject areas"</p>

<p>Yeah, exactly. IC is not the same subject area as IIC.</p>

<p>I'm not sure about the math policies but I am almost positive that you can take French and Spanish or Chem and Bio, for example. These are in the same category but aren't in the same "subject area". I could see you not being able to use the maths or French and French with Listening as 2 seperate ones, but I am 99.99% positive that you can submit two within the sciences, histories, or (different) languages, if you so choose.</p>

<p>they will see all of them anyway (i took all the same tests you did)... just cross your fingers and hope for the best!</p>

<p>Well, that is great to hear. I can understand the confusion. I have to admit that the statement on the university's website was somehow ambiguous.</p>
