<p>I'm a high school senior who has 2 SATIIs (2C and US History) already taken, as well as the new SATI and ACT already taken, but I think I need to take another SAT II in October to meet requirements at Harvard and "recommendations" at Yale/Northwestern/Stanford.</p>
<p>So, now I'm trying to choose an SAT II that I can take with minimal preparation (ie, I don't want to learn a new subject or relearn any sciences) and still get a good score. I think my top choice right now is Literature. My SATI Critical Reading scores are mid 700s. Can I get a 750+ on the Lit SAT II without too much studying? If you've taken Lit before, what are your opinions about it?</p>
<p>IMHO, the SAT II Lit test looks a lot like the MC portion to the AP English Lit test. Of course, however, it is a lot harder than the SAT CR.</p>
<p>I'm in the same boat you're in, actually. Do you think I could prepare for World History in a month? The questions all looked fairly simple and general, but I haven't taken the course in high school (AP World History). Also, I thought one only needed 2 SAT IIs at Stanford.</p>
<p>Yeah, I wasn't sure about that, but checked today and it turns out Stanford only wants you to take 2 SAT IIs. Still, the other schools are an issue.</p>
<p>I thought about World History too, but some colleges don't like it when you take too many tests in the same subject...ie, both US History and World History</p>
<p>I guess if you've already taken AP English Lit, the SAT II Lit won't be too hard.</p>
<p>What others APs did you take? Take the SAT2 related to the APs you took.</p>
<p>Last year I took:</p>
<p>English Comp
US History
Psychology
Calc BC</p>
<p>So unfortunately it doesn't work out so easily. The 3 sciences are out (too much to learn). I'm leaning towards either Lit or not taking a 3rd SATII at all...depending on how I feel/what you guys think about Lit.</p>
<p>Well didn't u take like physics honors or something like that. You can cover for the SAT2 with that and still get a 750+. Also how about foreign languages. I'm not really sure about Lit because SAT2 lit is much different from L&C. Why don't you take a diagnostic test on sparknotes or sth?</p>
<p>I don't know any foreign languages well enough for the test. I actually did take AP Physics last year (did you remember reading this about me somewhere? or did you just guess randomly), but I bombed the class so badly that I didn't even bother signing up for the AP, and I know I'd score like 500-600 on the SAT II.</p>
<p>I guess I'll go try some diagnostics, but that'll be for tomorrow, cuz it's 11:30 and I need to start my homework. Thanks for your help though.</p>
