<p>right now, im thinking taking math and english. my thoughts are that studying for these tests will have a synergistic effect on my performance in the regular SAT'S. </p>
<p>any suggestions on how to decide what subject tests to take? personal opinions? useful resources?</p>
<p>input is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>You probably meant to say “synergetic” and not “synergistic”. As to the tests, just pick the ones you are most comfortable taking / most prepared.</p>
<p>^That last statement is bad advice, imo. If you are applying into engineering/math/science, you pretty much have to have Math II and another science. The third is a good time to show well-roundedness and take a humanity one. If you are applying into liberal arts, take a humanity or two and (if you want to appear well-rounded) a math and/or science. So, you have some freedom into picking ones you are most prepared for, but not as much as one may think.</p>
<p>^Agreed. Do not solely base your decisions for SATII’s on what you “like”. Make sure you have a combination of three that will show you are well rounded. One of the best combos in my opinion is taking a math, science, and history/language.</p>
<p>e.g - Biology E/M, Math IIC, and US History. (those are the ones I’m taking)</p>
<p>Or, (if you aren’t as into math/science) you could take a math/science, history, and world language.</p>
<p>e.g - Physics, World History, and Latin.</p>
<p>Just make sure to avoid submitting something like Biology, Physics, and Chemistry… or French, Spanish, Literature.</p>
