April 2012 - Which subject tests should I take? Really undecided :(

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>I'm currently a high school junior, and I've already taken the Chem and World History SATIIs last year. I really liked my Chem score but not my World History one. </p>

<p>This year, I'm really undecided about which ones I should take to show my "breadth of their academic interests..." I'm really hoping to apply early action for an Ivy next year. Currently, I'm signed up for the Biology E/M and US History Subjects for May 5, but people keep telling me to take the Math II as well (even my guidance counselor). I'm a bit worried about taking three subjects in one sitting... </p>

<p>For the Harvard website (because it's probably the most selective), they require two Subjects and they say, "Students should not submit two Subject Tests in mathematics to meet this requirement." But that doesn't really tell you much about which ones to take... :(</p>

<p>I hoping to major in Humanities in the future. Should I do the "english" subject instead? I'm currently taking Ap Bio, Ap Us History, Pre-Calc Honors, and Ap Language. So, I'm not sure whether or not I'll be prepared for either the Math II or English Subjects. </p>

<p>Please help out!! Sorry for the long post...Everyone is completely freaking me out. </p>

<p>Thank you so much!!</p>

<p>yes you should take the math2,dont give the test on the same day of your other two tests,fix a different date for math2 and make sure you are well prepared. And try to take math,one in science subject and the other in humanities subject,because that is what harvard weside and other ivy league colleges suggest.</p>

<p>Ahh I see. Thank you so much! Is it a bad idea if I try to fit three subject tests into one day?</p>

<p>its a bad idea if you get too stressed out by giving three tests in a row and get low scores but if you think you can handle it then go for it,it totally depends on your mental strength or capacity,but yes people do take three tests in one day and also get top scores,so it toatlly depens on you.</p>
