<p>Hey, need to do two-three subject tests before November, 2012.
I'm thinking of taking English Literature. A friend told me to consider World History, she said it was much more scoring? Of course I want to do a subject I'm good at, but I want to be smart about it at the same time and do something scoring. I even heard Bio is the easiest to study for, but least scoring.
Wondering if anyone could tell me the most and least scoring subject tests in SAT so I know what I'm getting into? (Not including language tests!)</p>
<p>Take Math II regardless of whether or not math is a strong subject for you. Math’s my worst subject but the Math II test is easier to do well on than regular SAT I math (it’s seriously ridiculously easy, and scored very easy too). Don’t take Math I, that’s harder to do well on. </p>
<p>As far as lit goes, I took lit and it wasn’t too bad. It’s harder to prep for than math (its more of one of those that you’re either good at or not). Take a practice and see how you do. The poetry sections were the worst for me, the normal passages weren’t that bad. The problem with Lit is that if you misinterpret one passage then you’ll most likely miss a whole bunch of questions on that passage which results in a lower score. </p>
<p>I don’t know much about bio. The other common subject test for people at my school to take is US history (if you took APUSH or are taking APUSH, then this is easier than AP test and you should take it at the end of the year). </p>
<p>Hope that helped! I’m serious about the math though, definitely take Math II. Even if you score low on your first practice test, it’s very easy to improve quickly.</p>
<p>Thank you 
</p>
<p>But the thing is, I’m not average at Math, I’m seriously bad. I used to fail and stuff. It is THE worst subject for me, so I don’t think I’d even manage SAT I Math. Ugh! And Literature, I mean I like English and I do well, but I find the passages quite challenging. I did a few practice tests and I score within the range of 650 to 690, which is just okay.</p>
<p>Easiest to Study For: (Just get a prep book and go through it, search the forum for recommendations)<br>
Math II (Barron’s is best book for this)
Bio (memorization)
World History (memorization)
Us History (memorization)</p>
<p>Hardest to study for:
Chem (You need a good background in chem to do well on the test)
Physics (consistently rated the hardest one)</p>
<p>Best Curves:
Math II (Can get like 5-6 wrong and get 800)
Physics (Can get close to 10 wrong and get 800)
Chinese/Korean</p>
<p>Worst Curves:
Languages(Since native speakers take them)
Chem(Hard test with a weak curve)
Math I (You are in the 99+% if you get 800, whereas you are in the 90% if you get an 800 in Math II)</p>
<p>Thank you so much! Helped a lot!</p>
