<p>So. Last may (Jr year) I took 2 SAT 2s (math 2c and us history) and did pretty poorly. 510 on history (YIKES!) and 580 on math 2. So obviously, I want to give them another shot. I want to take english literature, math 2c again, and physics in december of this year. Here’s my questions:</p>
<li><p>Is english literature worth studying for? (I can’t imagine that it’d be any different than SAT 1 reading, but you tell me.)</p></li>
<li><p>What is the most efficient way to study for these tests (especially math 2).</p></li>
<li><p>I will be taking physics next year, as a senior. However, I have considered majoring in engineering, so I want to take the physics sat 2. Is this a stupid idea, seeing as I will have only covered 3 months of physics material by december? Should I even bother taking this test? Would getting a physics book and going over it be of any use, or would it just lead to a failed effort? OR, should I just try to brush up on my chem (took it in 10th grade) and take that test?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>and finally…</p>
<li>How much do the SATs even matter (specifically at UCs). A lot of colleges say “SAT IIs not required but recommended, or, SAT 2s not required but considered if submitted.” So, if I do poorly on these tests, should I submit them to these colleges so they can see I atleast did them, or should I not bother?</li>
</ol>
<p>thanks!</p>
