<p>I am looking at top tier schools and obviously have to take 3 subject tests. I have taken math IC and literature (june 2nd) and will be taking the other one(s) (depends if i have to retake) in october. I have seen some posters say that you need a science SAT subject test. </p>
<p>This is where my problem comes in. I took biology in 8th grade and chemistry in 9th grade. This leaves physics, which i took this year (junior year). But my physics teacher is a joke and didn't teach us at all. Like not even a little. So i will do abysmally on the physics test and I haven't taken the other sciences in so long. </p>
<p>What do I do? Do I self-study for one of the sciences and hope for the best? I would prefer to take one of the histories or even french, but i feel that i would perform weakly on the science tests. I need help and any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>I'd check the requirements for your specific schools before you start self-studying anything - I've seen places that specifically request math, but none that say you must have science. (For that matter, most of the places I've looked have only asked for two...)</p>
<p>It's usually recommended to have one SAT from a math or science and another one from a humanistic subject. You have one from both groups, so you are free to choose any of the others for the third exam.</p>
<p>Actually, very, very few schools (even top tier ones) require 3 subject tests. I suggest that you look at the websites of the schools you're looking to apply to to see their SAT II requirements.</p>
<p>With the exception of a few safeties, all of the schools I am applying to want at least two and for the most part three subject tests. So since i have taken a math and lit., it should be okay? This will help me out a lot and save me from having to self study for a science. Thanks again.</p>
