I've already taken the SAT II Japanese, and I'm planning on taking the SAT II German for the second one...does that count as two?
Has anyone else taken two different language SAT II to get into the UC? Also, I'm going to be a senior this year, and December is the last time to take the SAT II, right?
Answers:
The UC has answered this question on its web site:
Question:
If an applicant takes SAT Subject Tests in French and Spanish, or World History and U.S. History, will she satisfy the requirement that the tests be in two different subjects?
Answer:
Applicants are required to take two SAT Subject Tests in two different areas: English (literature only), history and social studies, mathematics (Level 2 only), science and language other than English.
French and Spanish are from the same area, so taking both of these tests would not fulfill the examination requirement. Nor would World History and U.S. History meet the requirement.

I suggest you take another type of subject tests. You've already proven your language skills in Japanese, but you should also have a diversity. Try some literature, science, history, etc.
That'll look good. =)
Although I'm not going to UC, I went through the same thing last year. It is best to take another subject because it will show your college that you are multitalented. Colleges love seeing that. Since it is already pretty close to deadlines if you take it in Oct., it's probably best to just have the College Board send your scores in for you now, if you are doing Early Action/Decision. You don't want to miss any deadlines!
Taking Japanese and German is fine. If they say they want two, they don't care which two. It's only when you're applying to certain majors that they might have extra requirements (like a science or a math subject test).
December is the last test in which you'll get the results back early enough for them to consider it.
There's usually a code in which you mark for them to send the score to the schools.
