<p>Yes, I think it’s looked down upon, but obviously it doesn’t hurt, just doesn’t look as good as a non-native language test. But I know for some colleges that require SAT Subject Tests, a test in your non-native does not count as one of the two required. For example, read this: [Harvard</a> College Admissions § Applying: Requirements](<a href=“http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/application_process/requirements.html#scores]Harvard”>http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/application_process/requirements.html#scores)</p>
