The SAT I is more helpful, in my opinion, because it’s a general test that everyone takes. </p>
<p>SAT IIs provide options, and an applicant has a much better shot at matching his skills to an exam. A native Chinese speaker would be foolish not to take the SAT II Chinese exam, for example. This skews the results/scales. </p>
<p>The UCs seem to consider them equal.</p>
<p>Convert your highest scores in critical reading, math and writing from a single sitting and your two highest SAT Subject Tests from different subject areas to equivalent UC Scores (see the translation table below). Then add all five UC Scores to produce your UC Score Total. Example: critical reading + math + writing + Subject Test 1 + Subject Test 2) = UC Score Total.</p>
