Who should take the SAT Subject Tests?

Some universities in the U.S. recommend and others require SAT Subject Tests for admission or course placement. While some schools will ask you to take tests on specific subjects, other schools will let you choose. Colleges that don’t require SAT Subject Tests may also review your Subject Test scores to get more insight into your interests and skills.
