SAT II question...which ones to take?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hey all, I got (yet another) SAT II question.</p>

<p>For October, I got some pretty good SAT II scores (Bio M: 750 and Math IIc: 780) so yeah, I’m happy and all.</p>

<p>However, I thought that I would take these two tests over again and…in addition, take the SAT II US History.</p>

<p>Here’s the thing: At first, I thought this would go well. The problem is that I honestly think my SAT II Bio is the only important score out of the three (I’m going into Bio) and I think I can get it up to 800 if I really study. The problem is that if I do the US History, I’d have to study history in essentially 2-3 days. I’m pretty good at History and honestly, I think I could get a 700 going blind in the test. But then again, what’s the point of taking the test if it just gives me a lower score?</p>

<p>The biggest problem is that I have the ACT just one week after, and I’d REALLY like to get that score a bit higher. (I have a 33, I’m shooting for a 35) </p>

<p>Anyway, none of the colleges that I’m applying to really require a 3rd SAT…so</p>

<li><p>Is it in my best interest to take the SAT II US History?</p></li>
<li><p>Should I re-take the Math IIC (even if I do, I won’t study) or the Bio M?</p></li>
<li><p>Does it look bad if you only send in two scores (even if they only require two) for the SAT II?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>SAT II US history isn't hard, but I wouldn't retake with your scores. I only took two tests, so I hope it doesn't look bad.</p>

<p>you can take them over if u feel you can do better and you have a lot of money..
a bad SAT II is unlikely to hurt you.. but a good one is likely to help you..</p>

<p>are we talking ivies here? if its not ivies, id just focus all my energy into the ACT but if it is ivies id consider retaking bio and doing history</p>

<p>retake bio if you know you can do better.
since the colleges ur applying to only ask for 2 dont take US history because you can use those 2-3 days to study for bio and make sure you get a 800.</p>
