SAT II's: Spanish or Biology??

Test Preparation
1

<p>I'm a science/math nerd, and I've already taken the Math IIC test.
I will take SAT II Chemistry for sure, but I'm not sure if I should take Spanish or Biology for my third SAT II.
My practice test score range for Spanish is 700-720, and for Biology is about 750+. But the problem is, I already have a lot of demonstration of my strength in Biology, but not so much in the humanities.</p>

<p>HELP ME CHOOSE!</p>

<p>(I only want to take three SAT II's though).
(I SUCK at Literature, US History and World History :( )</p>

<p>Oh yeah, by the way, I'm not Hispanic.</p>

<p>If you a science/math person, take Biology of course. If you take Spanish, you are in competition with native speakers who get like 800s.</p>

<p>I really suggest that you take both, since your score ranges are already good. On the other hand if you just want to stick to one, Spanish would look "good" since you're not a native plus it's not something like Math/Science. Then again, your Biology score is high and if you score around the same on the real one then it would demonstrate strength in science. In the end you have to make the decision yourself.</p>

<p>i would suggest taking the biology one despite having shown ur strength...spanish may look good, but only if u do really well</p>

<p>Take Biology. They usually don't care (much) what subjects your tests are in. But if you're going to apply to MIT, you'll need a humanities.</p>

<p>Really? MIT requires a humanities? I thought it was Math I or II + Science.</p>

<p>Your other SAT II's already show your skills in science & math. Take the Spanish, it'll show college admissions something new about you- they'll like that!</p>

<p>Il Bandito, just so you know, not all native speakers earn 800s. The SAT II is about WRITING, not SPEAKING.</p>

<p>what prep books are recommended for Spanish and for Biology?</p>
