**!!Retake question!!**

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hey guys! I could really use some advice :)</p>

<p>So I need to eventually take 3 subject tests for a few schools I'm applying to (Harvard, Georgetown, UVA, etc).</p>

<p>So far, I've made an 800 on Lit and a 700 on Math II :(</p>

<p>Now here's my question: should I simply take one more, focusing all my studying energy into either Bio, one of the Histories, or a language? Is a 700 acceptable CONSIDERING the fact that I am quite openly a humanities, humanities, humanities type of guy who gets As in high school math, but has no amazing gift in the subject? Or, on the other hand, should I retake Math II to aim for a 750+, and take 2 different ones on test day?</p>

<p>Keep in mind, once again, the quality of universities to which I'm applying.
Does the 800 in Lit (a very difficult test+curve btw, some say THE hardest) showcase clearly enough my aptitude in the subject I love the most?</p>

<p>Thanks for the help! Registration deadlines are approaching!</p>

<p>…bump?? :(</p>

<p>personally, i’d take three on test day - redo math II, and take a history and a science, so you wouldn’t have to rely on just one score coming out well. or, you could take two on test day - study a bunch for another humanities one along with math II.</p>

<p>Well, you can’t pick and choose which scores to send, so if I bombed one or the other, I’d be stuck with it haha.</p>

<p>Which history would your recommend as the easiest to self-study for? US or World?</p>

5

<p>personally, i can’t say that i’m the best person to ask, as i’ve only taken US. i would have to say that i’ve heard world is easier, though. anyone else have some input?</p>

6

<p>how’d you do on US compared to how hard you prepped for it??</p>

<p>i was really disappointed - i got a 680, which i found a little odd, as i got a 5 on the AP test… i studied as hard as i thought i needed to, considering the test was two weeks after the AP test, but i guess i should’ve studied a bit more.</p>

8

<p>Even though I got a 4 on my US History AP, I decided to learn Biology E on my own, than risk taking US History. I’m afraid of History… seriously.</p>

9

<p>World is only offered in December…so I guess you should take US.</p>

<p>definitely redo mathII (that’s rumored to be one of the easiest SATII) for a 750+ (for a 750 you can make quite a lot wrong…so that should be doable)
than take a history because you are humanities focused
i would just take the history you have more experience in …like my school doesn’t offer world history so i have to take US
^^^ and you might just have to take US if that’s true lol</p>
