<p>Princeton is the only school i'm applying to that needs a subject test, and i'm having a hard time.
I think Math II will be hard for me, but i know Math I isn't really looked at equally. Should i take both and then submit the one with the higher score?
Im taking Pre-Calculus this year but I'm not doing that well. Also, the Math I practice test online was easier for me.</p>
<p>please help me</p>
<p>So what do you want to major as? It depends because certain schools for the specific majors (such as engineering majors) “HIGHLY RECOMMEND” that you take the Math II and another subject test. Do not waste your time taking Math I because they really don’t care about it and that’s what’s on the SAT. If you take a math subject test (which you should), you should take Math II. Many colleges even say that they “will not accept Math I” as one of the subject test requirements.</p>
<p>Math II would be kind of hard for you since you’re not doing so well in pre-calculus, but I would suggest you buy a Math II subject test study book and study the heck out of it so you can score well.</p>
<p>On the other hand, Math2 has a more generous curve. If you make some careless mistakes, you will suffer more in Math1 than in Math2.</p>
<p>I want to major In English or phsychology if that helps</p>
<p>Princeton wants you to take 2 SAT Subject Matter tests. If you are not going into a STEM major, you do not have to take Math2 (I agree that you should not take Math1). What AP classes are you taking this semester? If you are studying for an AP, it is efficient to study for the same Subject Matter test.</p>
<p>Take your strongest subjects, and preferably ones that aren’t on the regular SAT or ACT. Subjects like Biology, History, Physics, Languages, Chemistry, etc. aren’t taken as often as Math II is, and if you don’t feel strongly in that subject, it will only hurt you. If you’re planning on majoring in English or Psychology, maybe you should take the Literature exam (although, that’s basically like taking Reading on the SAT). Also, if the testing center allows, as most do, take three subject tests. That way, if you score poorly on one, you still have two to fall back on and submit.</p>
<p>Have you checked Princeton’s requirements? As another poster suggested, I’m pretty sure they require 2 Subject SATs.</p>
