<p>Im only 17 but i need to plan ahead. I have got 8 GCSEs 5 As 2 Bs and 1 C. I am starting my A Levels this year and i will be studying Polictics, Media Studies and Business studies. I know its a different system here in the UK but would i need to take the SATs and all of that even though I have GCSEs and A Levels?</p>
<p>Basically if you need a considerable amount of financial aid you HAVE to take the SAT (or the ACT).</p>
<p>Some schools do not require the SAT or ACT, but again, if you need fin aid you probably want a good test score to get some type of advantage.</p>
<p>Remember that most American students take one of these tests, so what type of courses you’re taking doesn’t really matter. Have fun ;)</p>
<p>I don’t know about the US, but in the Uk your A Level subjects are considered ‘soft’.. which are not encouraged by UK universities.. I dunno about US tho.. I bet you won’t get much if any advanced credit with those A level subjects in the US</p>
<p>For colleges and universities that are SAT/ACT optional see the current list at [The</a> National Center for Fair & Open Testing | FairTest](<a href=“http://www.fairtest.org%5DThe”>http://www.fairtest.org)</p>
<p>Each college and university will have a different way of evaluating your secondary program since you are an international student. You need to contact each college/university that you are interested in to ask how they evaluate your A level exams. Some might not require you to take an SAT or ACT based on your A level results even though they would require one of US candidates.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>YOU…I have only picked those options this year, i havnt yet started studying them though i will in september. Which A Levels would you consider me applying for which wouldnt be “soft” A Levels?</p>
<p>The good ones are of course are the sciences (math, phy, chem, further math, bio), pure social sciences (econ, geo), foreign languages.. these are the subjects you’ll likely get credit for.. so if I were you, I’ll choose the subject I like most from these subjects^</p>
