<p>Or has anybody else noticed that a disproportionately large number of people take the same 3 subject tests, those tests being Math 2, physics and chemistry?</p>

<p>It just seems that on every board I turn to, these three tests pop up all the time and together in the same posts. </p>

<p>Any one have any idea why this is so? </p>

<p>If I don't take one of these three tests, will I seem less competitive (even at a school that doesn't care which ones you take), since these 3 are arguably the hardest? </p>

<p>Are having subject tests that are all "non math or sciency" ok or will adcoms secretly not like it even if officially that school has no preference? </p>

<p>I took World History and Japanese with listening and got 740 and 790 respectively. I'm contemplating taking a third one. I was thinking maybe math 2 just to be safe. </p>

<p>Any thoughts?</p>

<p>I'm taking World Math2 and Physics. I almost fit your generalization =]</p>

<p>No, you won't be seen as less competitive. I think it's just that those three are the most math-oriented and closely-related subjects; a lot of people here seem to be leaning towards science/engineering/business type majors, which tend to also attract strong math students.</p>

<p>I always see Math 2, Chem, and US History (which is, coincidentally, what I am taking).</p>

5

<p>That is because there are far too many Asian people.
Also, Math II and Physics have laughable curves, so why not?</p>

<p>I, for one, took Math I, Latin, and U.S. History.</p>

6

<p>hee hee hee i took those =)</p>

7

<p>I took Math 2 and Bio-M. Eff Phys and Chem. :)</p>

lol...
taking
Math IIC: im good at math.
Biology (havent decided E or M): corresponds with my intended major
US History: took an AP test, so why not.</p>

9

<p>i always see math 2, physics, US</p>

10

<p>haha kwu...
I'm taking Math II and Bio(M). I always see Physics and Chem on here, though. And a constant debate a/b Math II or I.</p>
