6.What do the Colleges require?
– The majority of Ivy League schools and some other prestigious universities recommend taking the SAT Subject Tests or mandate it. For instance, most Arts and Science majors at Cornell University are required to take the test in two courses. Even the University of Oxford in the UK accepts SAT Subject Tests for applicants with American credentials; the university requires a minimum score of 1470 out of 1600 on the revised SAT and a minimum score of 700 out of 800 in three topics on the SAT II.
7.Should I take the subject tests?
-The only highly selective universities require or recommend the SAT Subject Tests. You need to check the entrance requirements of the universities you are intending to apply to.
If it is highly selective and still does not require the Subject Tests, I recommend you take the tests regardless and obtain good scores because you will be competing against a huge number of students who have gone the extra mile to apply for that university, despite the tests being optional. I especially suggest you take the test if you plan to apply for scholarships, or if you have not acquired satisfactory scores in your A Level or IB or HSC. The Subject Tests are a great way to reinforce your American college applications.
