<p>Okay, everybody I know some of you know me and most do not. As a high school Junior, I just want to say that I’m planning to major in Psychology or Irenology (Peace Studies). I need to know if it will matter if I take SAT II subject test that pertain to Math and Biology since I will need one for History? Or it doesn’t matter what SAT IIs you take as long as you can do well on them? If I don’t take a History test, it will hurt me right?</p>
<p>It does not matter which subject tests you take, as long as you do well on them.</p>
<p>I took Latin and Math I, and I applied as “Undecided.”</p>
<p>You need at least two Subject Tests for Amherst, but you may take more than two if you would like.
Amherst will consider your two highest scores.</p>
<p>I thought they don’t consider an applicant much unless he takes the tests that pertain to his major?..</p>
<p>You thought wrong.</p>
<p>Hahahah. Does Amherst do score choice for the SATs?</p>
<p>" You thought wrong. "</p>
<p>I’m majoring in Psychology so I thought I can’t just take Math and Biology and exclude a subject test for Social Studies because psych deals with BOTH BIO AND HISTORY.</p>
<p>mcvcm92, I can’t answer your question, but you should feel free to either get in touch with a representative at <a href=“mailto:admission@amherst.edu”>admission@amherst.edu</a> or speak with someone directly at (413) 542-2328. An admissions officer would be happy to respond promptly to your concern.</p>
<p>Seachai86442, you do NOT have to take any SAT II’s in particular. They only thing that is generally recommended is that you don’t take Math 1 and Math 2. Take the tests you think you will score best on.</p>
<p>Pardon me, but when did I said I wasn’t going to take a Math? I have a 93 average in my Math class so that will give me a purpose to take the Math 1 in June.</p>
