<p>Don’t worry about the requirements of colleges you don’t plan to apply to.</p>
<p>My understanding is that the tests are confirming your homeschool grades-- i.e., if you get an A+ in chemistry but a 510 on the subject test, it’s a sign that your grades are inflated or less trustworthy. Some colleges may be willing to accept AP scores in place of some or all subject test scores (but you will definitely need to check with each school.)</p>
<p>For each college you plan to apply to, scour the website for homeschool admissions requirements, which are often more extensive than those for regular admissions. Search “homeschooled” on the website or through Google. (It may be classified under “non-traditional applicants.”) If you can’t find anything, email an admissions rep.</p>

<p>Acting and other fine and performing arts are a whole different ball game that I am completely unqualified to speak to, so check on those requirements under the appropriate CC subforum.</p>
