<p>How much do all those subject tests count?Are they as important as the regular SAT test?What happens if a person gets low score on those?(590 and below).And how many subject tests do you need to take?</p>

<p>They are there to supplement your SAT score. You need to generally take 3 with exceptions (UC’s need 2). </p>

<p>For example, if you get a 680 on your Math SAT I, if you get an 800 on Math SAT II, it will definitely show adcoms that you are proficient or relatively underestimated by the SAT I Math section.</p>

<p>Depends on the school how many you have to take. Harvard requieres 3 (try to get above 760 on those) and other selective schools requiere 2.</p>

<p>Check with your college on that, and also have a look at the grades of previous applicants.</p>

<p>To my knowledge, subject tests count ALOT!</p>

<p>Like loli said that it shows admission that you can do better.But what if in SAT i got 750 in math and on subject test i got 600-630?What im basically asking is-will those subject scores count a lot on your application?</p>

<p>Generally speaking, GPA comes first. SAT second then SAT II. As long as your SAT II and SAT I are close enough, it should not be a problem. Yet since both tests actually test you on different things, it’s open-ended. Your scores could be interpreted in multiple ways. Better play it safe and up the Subject test score. A 600-630 on a Math II is exceptionally low.</p>

<p>Could you also explain what math 1 and math 2 are?If math 2 is based on math b-then i cant take it because i got transfered into new geometry system</p>

<p>Math 2 and Math 1 test essentially cover a majority of the same material. The difference is that Math 2 is a bit tougher since some of its questions are trickier (think SAT I problems more or less with up to precalc material). For this reason, Math I IS easier but it has a tight curve. Expect <800 if you get -1 or -2 (again, think SAT I Math Curve). The Math II is much easier in terms of its curve with -6 or -7 an 800 sometimes or 6-7 blank for an 800. </p>

<p>Both cover up to pre-calc more or less.</p>
