Help - Deciding Which SAT IIs to Take

Test Preparation
1

<p>I'm having a huge problem deciding which SAT IIs to take. I'm a good student and I did fairly well on the SAT I, yet I feel as if there's no subject I would do well on.</p>

<p>Math: at my school, if you're in the class I'm in, they recommend Math II. However, people in higher level courses than I'm in have said that there was still stuff they had not learned on it and they had to study a lot. I don't even feel like I would do very well on Math I, when I look at sample questions online.</p>

<p>English: I'm not very good at analyzing literature, which is really what's required</p>

<p>French: Not my strongest subject. There are a lot of idiomatic expressions on there, from what I see, which I haven't really learned.</p>

<p>Latin: My best subject, but unfortunately the curriculum at my school is very different than what is on the SAT, so they don't recommend taking it.</p>

<p>Science: Didn't take it this year and remember absolutely nothing from previous years.</p>

<p>History: I'm in AP US, but it's my worst subject by far; I know I would do terribly on it.</p>

<p>I really need to take them in June, since I'm going to be sending in applications starting in July and August. Most schools on my list don't require them, but a few do. My SAT scores are a 2120 (and hopefully rising) which I'm pretty happy with, so I don't want to look like an idiot by having terrible SAT II scores accompanying them.</p>

<p>Any advice or suggestions?</p>

<p>I took Math 1 and it wasn’t too bad. I think it’s almost the same as the math section on the SAT Reasoning Test. If nothing else that’d be an option. Get out from the library a big book of SAT subject tests (Collegeboard has a book with all of them) and take a few of them and see how you do. Shouldn’t be too painful since each is an hour.</p>

<p>ap us was my worst subject but i still managed a 750 on the subject test… the questions are surprisingly easy.</p>

<p>Take the AP US History and study for it. Stop being so down on yourself - just work hard and kick some SAT2 butt!</p>

<p>The Math1 is a useless test because it covers exactly the same topics as the Math section of the SAT. If you want to take math, then take math2. The curve is also much lenient than the math1.
I took the USH test last year: prepared for it for one month. I almost knew the book by heart on test day and got 790. It is just a matter of reading again and again the book.</p>
