American Universities

Look on the website for the universities and subjects you want, and they'll say what you need. Generally, you'll have to do the higher maths one for engineering or maths if you want to go somewhere good. It's been a while since I was interested in it, but if memory serves you need general + 2 subjects or more usually?

For a masters, I'd say the SATs wouldn't matter anymore - the degree would.

What university are you considering?

anyone know what exams I have to take?
I am going to take the general SATs this summer but i don't know what else i have to take. I was thinking about doing something like engineering (chemical/mechanical) or maths.

also i have asked some people but have had different answers. If I decided to do a masters in America instead would i need to do anything extra?

thanks

1) SAT Reasoning test

2) 2-3 SAT Subject Tests

Given your subject choices, I recommend you do the Subject Tests in Mathematics (Level II), Physics and Chemistry.

Well can't really say as just started ASs but i was gonna try Cambridge, Warwick, Nottingham, Durham not sure about final choice if i decide to do masters.
If not i'd probably have a bit of fun and apply to Harvard, or Yale, or princeton just to see what happens

I meant the American ones
They're pretty expensive to apply to, used to be about $70-90, so applying for fun can be costly

a lottery win would probably help

Hmm yeah that's a point, i get the choice between half a flat in manchester like my brothers got or american uni. Or i could do a masters and get both which is why i'm edging towards masters in america

Thanks do you know if i would be able to do it with A-level knowledge or would i need to teach myself a lot more?

If you apply to Yale...You do not need to take the SATs, they accept A levels. I do believe Harvard may be starting as well (but you may want to check that.) A lot of ivy league schools, may also be fairly familiar with the A level, so if you send your details it may not even be necessary. I have heard also that Americans Uni's often accept the IB...so this would have been a good path to have had taken. But never minds.

Application requirements for all students include the following standardized tests. There are two options and we have no preference between these options. You may choose between taking either:

Option 1: The SAT Reasoning Test (SAT I) and any combination of two Subject Tests
OR
Option 2: The ACT with writing.
There are two exceptions:

1. Students whose home countries (e.g., mainland China) do not have an SAT or ACT testing center are exempt from these testing requirements, but must take either the TOEFL or IELTS instead.

2. Students enrolled in A-level programs may use completed A-level results as a substitute for the SAT II Subject Tests on a one-for-one basis provided official test results arrive at Yale by February of 2010. Eligible students must still take either the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT. Predicted A-level results may not be used as substitutions for the SAT II Subject Tests.

No other substitutions are acceptable.

I'm sorry, but this isn't true.

Do you know if I would need to do anything if i decided to apply with a degree or would they still want me to have SATs?

You mean that you'd apply after doing an undergrad in the UK? I have no idea how that works...

Yeah i would do undergrad in Uk, because some teachers have said i should take the SATs this year anyway and some say i wouldn't have if i was only doing a masters in america
