Act & sat ii ?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hey guys, this is my first time posting on here. I'm a straight A student with tons of extracurricular and leadership activities. I took the SAT last year and got a 620 in math, 610 writing and 600 reading. In my ACT I got a composite score of 26. I've applied to Duke, UVA, VCU, and JMU and i really want to go to Duke so I know I need to get my scores up and they'll accept the scores of the next ACT i take and the next SAT II tests that I take on Jan. 26 for SAT and Feb 9 for ACt. In school my classes are AP English, AP Spanish, AP Physics, AP Calculus, Honors Government, Marching Band, Sports Medicine II, Human Anatomy. </p>

<p>Questions:
- How hard is the Math level 2 subject test?
- Should I take the spanish reading test? I love spanish and I'm pretty good at it. but I heard theres no curve?
- What suggestions do you have for other subject tests?
-I took the APUSH test last year and got a 4 and history is my weakest and most hated subject. but I'm really good at writing essays so i'm not sure if thats what helped me.. should i take this one?</p>

<h2>- Or should i not worry about the SAT Subject tests at all and just take the ACT again preparing for a 31-34? </h2>

<p>I’d focus on the ACT.</p>

<p>If you do decide to take subject tests, then Math level 2 is pretty easy, especially if you have a TI-89 and your precalc is decent. If history isn’t your best subject, then you might not do so well on the subject test since you took the class last year. I thought the history subject test was a lot more specific/detail-oriented than the AP exam.</p>
