<p>I know that previously the UCs required the SAT II writing, math, etc., but since the new SAT has that writing section, does that mean applicants will no longer need to take the SAT II for writing?</p>
<p>the SAT Subject Test for Writing is not offered anymore.</p>
<p>What bluebayou said. :)</p>
<p>CB incorporated Writing in the SAT I partly (if not mostly) due a lot of pressure from the UC's.</p>
<p>Oh! I didn't know that. Awesome. So that means for UCs the only required SAT II you need is math? And how many other ones do you have to choose?</p>
<p>negative. There are no REQUIRED subject tests anymore. But, you must take TWO tests of your choice in different disciplines. </p>
<p>btw: Math 1 is not accepted anymore.</p>
<p>Oh ok. I was planning on taking the Math 2 anyway...</p>
<p>Is it recommended to take more than the required 2 subject tests? Because I'll probably be taking several AP classes, so does it make sense to take the SAT II for each of those?</p>
<p>yes, definitely take the subject test that corresponds to the AP test if you think you will do well.</p>
<p>I'm worried about both the AP and SAT II tests... because for example I know that my school has pretty bad Chem teachers, and I was planning on taking AP chem next year, but I'm afraid that even if I get an A in the class, I'll do poorly on the AP/SAT tests.</p>
<p>If one student took the minimum 2 SAT IIs and did well on them, in colleges' eyes, how would they compare to a second student who took the same 2 SAT IIs and got the same good scores, but also took an additional one or two, but didn't do as well?</p>
<p>for the UC's just put down your two highest scores on your app -- you self report them; most of the first reading of your app is completed with the self-reported scores. Eventually, they recieve the official report from CB, but only verify the two numbers you put down.</p>
<p>But, if you are concerned, pickup the CB Real Subject Test books, and take a practice test. If you obtain the score you desire, take the real thing. If you feel unprepared, then skip the subject test.</p>
<p>What about AP tests? Can you pick which ones to send to colleges? And what about private schools, like Stanford or whatever-- do you self-report your SAT IIs as well?</p>
<p>yes, you can pick and choose which AP tests to send (of course AP score selection costs extra)...BUT, don't send any scores and save your money. Technically, AP tests are NOT used for college admissions -- just placement -- so, an official report need not be sent. Just self-report the scores that BENEFIT you. Obviously, a 3 won't help at Stanford, but since a 3 WILL receive credit at the UC's, report it to them.</p>
<p>btw: Stanford recently officcially changed its Subject Test policy...but, the word on the street is that they still prefer more subject tests to demonstrate proficiency in more than one area.</p>
<p>For Stanford, College Board says, "SAT Subject Tests Recommended"... do you have any info besides that?</p>
<p>And would a 4 be worth reporting to Stanford?</p>
<p>I have no official site I can point you to....just know of kids that get accepted into Stanford, and what their private counselors say. Check Stanford's website for AP's....if they accept a 4 for placement or credit, then report it. If they don't give give credit for a 4 in that subject.....hmmmm.</p>
