I read this page quite a while ago and it turns out I didn’t accurately represent what it says.

[Harvard College Admissions § Applying: Three SAT II Subject Tests](http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/application_process/satsubjecttests.html)

“Although some students whose first language is not English are ordinarily well advised to avoid taking an SAT Subject Test in their native language, there are exceptions to this general rule. For example, some students who are preparing for the International Baccalaureate here or abroad or for national examinations in their own countries might be less well prepared for certain SAT Subject Tests. So, too, might students who attend schools that generally do not prepare students well for specific SAT Subject Tests. Such students might wish to get the advice of their counselors about whether to take an SAT subject test in their native language, which might well support their academic credentials.”
