do you have to take sat 2 to get into UC?
Favorite Answer
All applicants must submit scores from the following tests:
The ACT Assessment plus Writing or the SAT Reasoning Test. The critical reading, writing and mathematics scores on the SAT must be from the same sitting. If you take the ACT, you will be asked to report your scores on each section of the test as well as your composite score.
Two SAT Subject Tests
These must be in two different areas, chosen from the following: English, history and social studies, mathematics (Level 2 only), science or language other than English.

The “due by” date refers to the date the UC campus must receive the score reports from the test agencies (SAT and SAT Subject Test are run by ETS and ACT is run by, well, ACT). If you send the score reports as you take the tests, then you don’t have to worry about it. But if you decide later to apply for a campus to which you have not sent any score reports, then you have to make sure the score reports get there before December 30.
Good luck!
