<p>Would taking the ACTs (with writing) make up for the fact that I only have two SAT subject scores?? I don't want to study for another subject test AND the ACTs...
plus if I take the subject test, I would have to take Korean, and I am a Korean American (although I have lived in the US basically my whole life), so I don't know if colleges would really like to see SAT korean...</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Oh and i’m applying to ivys.
My SAT I scores are pretty good- not perfect but good enough for ivys i’d say</p>
<p>at some colleges yes, others no. Yale will accept the ACT+W in lieu of subject tests, but Dartmouth will not.</p>
<p>You say you have two subject test scores. That is all that is required by any college that requires them so you don’t have any issue to resolve. Some colleges, including Yale, Brown, and Penn accept the ACT in lieu of both the SAT and SAT IIs, but it does not sound like you are in a position that you need to take and rely on the ACT for anything.</p>
<p>most- no. However, some colleges take the ACT and don’t require SAT II’s, like UPenn. However, others may require both. The ACT only acts as an SAT Reasoning Test replacement across all schools. Also, be careful, some schools may not require SAT II’s but highly recommend them</p>

<p>How do you figure this? There are quite a few elite schools (Colgate, Middlebury, Amherst etc) who readily accept the ACT in lieu of SAT OR SAT II’s. If you submit SAT’s to these schools you absolutely have to also submit SAT II tests to complete the obligation of standardized testing. While some still require SAT II’s whether you submit the ACT or the SAT, it seems to me that ACT is viewed as a more complete test. That quite a few schools require those that the submit the SAT to also submit SAT II’s seems to say to me that the SAT alone is insufficient.</p>
<p>However, I will agree that if a school “recommends” SAT II’s, you should definitely have them to submit.</p>
