I have been out of high school for about a year and I have decided I need to go to college.
I never took the SAT in HS so I Have to now. I just signed up for the SAT reasoning test(formerly SAT I). and I have a test date.
Now Should i also sign up for the SAT subjest(formerly SAT II) test. Im kinda confused what it is. I tried signing up but i need to choose like 3 subjects from a list of 10.
If i plan to major in history it would probably be a good idea to take the SAT subject history test huh?
im assuming it is not necessary but just icing on the cake.
im really confused and dont have a counselor so any info will be apreciated.
Thanks.

Most schools only require an SAT I (reasoning) test. Better-ranked schools (Ivy League, for example) often require SAT II (subject) test. Look on the admissions pages of schools in which you are interested for their requirements.
Good luck!

You don't have to take the SAT II. It may depend on the college you want to go to. The SAT is probably the way to go. I actually prefer the the ACT . Its just like the SAT except it has a science section and you don't get penalized for guessing wrong whereas for the SAT you would.
Just study for basic math, and writing skills, along with reading comprehension. I know the SAT has gotten harder so a SAT study booklet from your high school or from collegeboard.com may help.
Good-Luck

look at the credentials for the schools your looking at and see what they prefer.
