Advice please? (which subject tests to take in November?)

<p>Hey guys--
So, I took the Math II and U.S. History subject tests in October. I was then recovering from pneumonia, so it wasn't the best time for me to take it...
I did well on USH, but not so great in Math...which is odd because I used to think that I was naturally good at it (but I skipped pre-calc and took Algebra II freshman year..and I'm a senior so I guess I'm out of practice)
These are my top 3 scores at this point:</p>

<p>US History - 800
Biology - 720 (:l)
Math II - 700 (D: )</p>

<p>I want three scores above 750, at the very least. So as of now, I need to take at least two more exams. My dilemma is that I'm not sure which ones to take. I already took math twice, and I guess considering the circumstances both were pretty bad days for me overall, but I'm not sure how I can improve my score at this point. I took the collegeboard practice test for Math II two days before the exam in October and scored an 800...are the released tests really that much easier or did I just choke on the real exam?</p>

<p>Also, I haven't started studying yet :l
And I'm a senior, so I really want to get this done in November. (which is in two weeks!)
Which tests should I retake and which books/study tools should I use for a 750+?
I heard using the Barron's Subject test book for Biology is enough to earn a 750+. Is this true?
As for math...well the first time I took Math II (last year) I tried using Barron's but it seemed like a bunch of gibberish to me...are there any other materials I can use instead or should I try using Barron's again---that is, if I decide to take it?</p>

<p>I'm definitely going to take biology in November, but I'm still unsure of whether or not to re-retake math II. Should I take Lit instead? (reference point: got a 770 on CR on the SAT...but then again I got an 800 on math and that didn't do me any favors :/) If so, what should I use to study for it and maximize my chances for a 750+? I did hear pretty polarizing information about this exam....</p>

<p>So in short, should I re-retake math II? Or should I risk it and take Lit? And what study tools should I use to study for Math II/Lit and Bio?</p>

<p>Thanks :)
Sorry this was so long hahaha</p>

<p>I would really appreciate anyone’s input.
Thanks again. :)</p>

<p>Actually, I was also considering maybe focusing on either math/lit for november and then taking Bio in December if it isn’t really feasible to cram for two exams in two weeks. Thoughts? (I did take AP Bio last year, though)</p>

<p>bumpp?
Anyone?</p>

<p>actually,i think that depends on the univ you wanna apply.ie,if you want to apply for Harvard,more art subjects.if MIT, more science /math subject</p>

<p>Keep in mind that the Literature Test is notoriously difficult, and you’re aiming for a 750+, which may be difficult…I would recommend just putting some more effort in Math2 or even Math1, as that is similar to the math on the SAT, which you got an 800 on.</p>
