Are SAT Subject Tests, AP, or IB exams required?
While we don’t require SAT Subject Tests or results from AP or IB exams for admission, we encourage you to self-report any scores you’ve received on your application. Although we don’t require SAT subject tests for admission, the Department of Mathematics recommends that enrolling students arrange to take the SAT Subject Test Math 2. Many majors at Carolina require a quantitative reasoning course that you will not be allowed to enroll in without an appropriate placement score. AP and IB scores are not reported until mid-July, so it is safest to take the SAT Subject Test Math 2 to ensure your ability to register for a quantitative reasoning course. For more information, see the Math Placement and Credit overview and the Math Placement Test site. Other SAT Subject Tests may be useful to you for placement in foreign language and English. Enrolling students must also have their AP results sent directly to us from the testing service. Read more about placement exams.
