<p>Hello, I'm confused about the "3 subject test requirement" I need to apply to some schools (Havard and Princeton). I'm self studying for the physics test, and I was planning on taking the Math I and II tests as well.</p>
<p>The colleges don't say anything about taking the Math I and II tests together, instead at Princeton's website, it says "3 tests in different subject areas". So... am I allowed to take Math I and II together, or do I have to study another subject (by myself, as I am not a native)?</p>
<p>Also, if I have to take another subject, which subjects are easy to self prepare? (I'm thinking of chemistry)</p>
<p>It's definitely not allowed to take Maths I and Maths II as two different subjects, so you should choose another subject. The easier subject to self-prepare is the one you feel like you know most now, or if you're not confident, at least have some basic idea about. You said you're thinking of chemistry, so I assume you already know some chemistry. In that case, go for it. But if you know better another subject, choose this one.</p>
<p>i got a q abt this 3 test thing
i plan on taking chem and math in october and bio later, but should i show a more varied testing with like an english ofr history? i plan on majoring in biology, so would math, bio, and chem be good?</p>
<p>I see, but my native language isn't English... and I think I'll be taking 2 sciences (if I take humanities, I have to remember everything from scrap) Anyway, I'm shocked that I have to self study chemistry now...</p>
<p>I don't think taking a math and two sciences is necessarily bad (I took three humanities, so there you go). However, in general using both Maths is a bad idea, and the statement "in different subject areas" indicates to me that it would also not be allowed. Actually, I'm uncertain as to whether they would even allow two sciences, though it seems a little strange that they wouldn't.</p>
<p>But is "chem + physic + mathII" not allowed?? I don't think that "chem" and "physics" is the same "subject area"... help me---</p>
<p>(as I have been saying, my native language isn't English, and if I were to take, say the World History test, i'd have to learn everything from 0)</p>
<p>Naw, that's allowed but not really recommended, especially if you are applying to a non science department. They like to see a decent humanities score I think, but if you get high on those, you ought to be fine. Especially if you don't know much about world history, take the chem one.</p>
<p>In the future, I want to take Economics, so I hope they understand my taking Chem and Physics ... its ironic because in my country, Economics is considered a humanities subject, so everyone here who wants to study Economics would study history and geography.</p>
<p>If your native language is offered on the SAT II, just take that. I know that's kind of a cop-out but it will do. If your language isn't offered, then go for World History. In the US, Economics is generally placed under social sciences as a major. Even though it might take a bit of studying, world history is the same no matter what language it's in. English language might be a good bet too, since your English looks almost perfect to me.</p>
<p>I don't know much history even in my mother toungue... if I were to take the world hisotry test, I start from 0.</p>
<p>Still, are there any other comments regarding which subject to take (Chem vs World History)?? I mean, is the chem test that hard... and how is the curve in Chem and History?</p>
<p>JBVirtuoso---I think on the Harvard Website, it strictly says that I can't take the subjct test of my mother toungue. (I might take it for fun, if I end up taking the subject test 2 times)</p>
<p>hmm what about say a 740 us history... it was the week before AP exams and I hadn't started studying yet.. I mean come on screw you college board! who does that honestly?</p>
<p>Ah... could I return to the main topic of this thread?</p>
<p>Does anyone have any suggestions regarding Chemistry and World History? I'm an international student (so I don't know any English words in both areas); I have taken a 1 year course in Chemistry (which is pretty intensive, and covers about 2/3 of the SAT chem test), but I'm not really your "science/math" student (though I seem to be able to cover most subjects somehow); and I have close to 0 knowledge regarding world history.</p>
<p>Last year Stanford had an exception to the rule which may help you for it and similar schools. Take the ACT with writing. That was allowed in 2005 (for class of 2010) to be in lieu of SAT 2 (now known as Sobject Tests). Before you jump, read their website -- this news could very well be out of date.</p>
