What to take, and how many to take?

<p>I dunno why it never crossed me to take SAT subject tests. I heard some colleges require them. But wouldn't taking AP exams and then SAT subject tests of the same subject be redundant?</p>

<p>In order to be safe with most universities, how many do I need to take and what subjects? Do they need to pertain to my major?</p>

<p>Also since I’m planning to take the SAT again in June should I do the subject tests in October? or should I do the subject tests in June and SAT in October?</p>

<p>And do AP prep books work for SAT subjects?</p>

<p>Bump! Please answer. =D</p>

<li>Take at least 2 (some colleges require three, most require two if any)</li>
<li>They should probably be related to your major (especially if you are a science/math/engineering major), but not all of them. Take one related to your major, one that is somewhat related, and then a free one. (Example: Bio major- Bio, Math 2, World History)</li>
<li>I’m taking SAT 2 in June (Math 2, Physics, US History). Depending on my ACT score from April, I would take the SAT again in October if necessary. I don’t think it matters which one you choose. </li>
<li>I would guess they would be. AP and SAT are both from collegeboard, so I’m sure their curriculum is very similar (if not identical), but don’t quote me on that.</li>
