• Some colleges recommend or require SAT Subject Tests
• Students themselves generally select which Subject Test(s) to take, though some colleges or programs have more specific requirements.
• Subject Test Guidance Document available on the Counseling Department site to equate Ridge courses with SAT Subject Tests.
