<p>I'm registered to take US History and Math II, but I have no idea what my third test should be. I honestly think I would do badly on any other test. The only one I can even possibly see myself taking would be the Literature, but I don't even think I'd be able to break 700. Should I forget about the school, or just take the third test?</p>
<p>take math 1...</p>
<p>well, do you really like the school? is this the only thing that is holding you back from applying there? because then it would definitely be worth taking. if you're not crazy about the school, then it may not be worth it.</p>
<p>joanna, im in the same boat as u... Out of all the universities I wanna apply to,only HARVARD and NUS(NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE) require 3 subjects but i wanna get into both of them quite badly.. so I am forced to give 3 subjects!!</p>
<p>i said it once and i am gonna say it again

take math 1...

<p>^^^ that's not the way to go if you're going to take Math II. Most colleges won't accept both Math I and Math II.</p>
<p>OK -- what is the school? Most good schools won't accept Math 1 anyway... And WHY OH WHY is there only one school you want to go to, with such an amazing wonderland of choices out there? Get out and go look!</p>
<p>The way I read it, the OP has a number of universities in mind, one of which required three SAT IIs. The title is, "Only one school I want to apply to..." and not "Only school I want to apply to..."</p>
<p>yeah, i agree with Perplexitudinous. even i heard that giving both math 1 and math 2 is foolish and pointless....</p>
<p>The school I have in mind is Georgetown. I've already called and asked about Math I and II, and they said that although they CAN count as two separate tests, they'd prefer that they don't. Sooo how should I take this? I'm not DYING to go to Georgetown...plus I'd feel dumb if I submitted Math I and II as 2 different tests...maybe it'd just be better to forget about it...</p>
<p>and yes, I definitely have many other universities in mind :-)</p>
<p>Literature won't require too much studying (but a lot of natural affinity), and world History is easy to study for. Those would be my two choices.</p>
<p>I'm in a similar boat...unfortunately stupid college board refuses to offer world history in october/november if your planning on early action to g-town...why must they do this?</p>
<p>Wow, that is really strange of them to do that, oh well, I was in a similar boat as you last year, and I just ended up taking spanish because I knew I could score well on it, but hmm I would just recommend finding a subject you at least have an interest in so that when you preparing for it, you won't be bored out of your mind.</p>
<p>I'd recommend Lit. I found it a breeze after half a week's worth of studying and CR was my lowest section on the SAT I. Although for some reason it seems like not a lot of people take the Lit test?? I guess it just really depends on you. If you have a great memory, then go for the history. If you're good at analyzing/reading quickly, then go for the Lit.</p>
<p>take 2 SAT IIs in october and send the score report to all the schools you are interested in minus georgetown
take the 3rd SAT II (whichever u decide) in november and then send that score report to georgetown</p>
<p>this way if u bomb on ur 3rd SAT II the schools that require 2 sat IIs won't see it</p>
<p>In a pamphlet I got from Georgetown, they state that if you apply EA, there is no need to rush SAT subject test scores, they will evaluate you on what they have so far, and then if you are deferred they will just add in your SAT subject tests for the RD round. They're still required, but at least you have some time and options.</p>

<p>Who are most schools? The UCs? Give me a break. MIT accepts the Math I. You don't really know what you're talking about.</p>
