SAT IIs!! Which ones look better?

Test Preparation
1

<p>SAT IIs (sophomore year)</p>

<p>Math II-760 (only 79% percentile. what in the world!)
US History-800 (does that look good? even though i got a 4 on my AP exam?)</p>

<p>Junior year-Retaking MATH II in January, taking Chemistry in JUne (pretty confident about those)</p>

<p>Should I take Literature even though on my SAT 1 I only got a 710 on CR? Would it look good to take Literature though? If I study for it, i might get 700+.
I would take it October of senior year though. Should I retake my SAT1 (2230) then instead?</p>

<p>I'm also taking AP European History this year.
Should I take World HIstory SAT II in May/June? Or is World History and European History completely different subjects?</p>

<p>What would really impress colleges?</p>

<p>I'm going to apply to really competitive colleges..Yale, Harvard, Stanford, UPenn, Cornell..etc</p>

<p>I would do what you feel most comfortable doing. The worst thing is to stress yourself out on studying more than you have to. I think your math II score is fine, and US history is fine, but college admissions officers are going to wonder if you can write an essay. So, if you have good writing SAT scores, then I don't think you need to retake any more SAT IIs, unless, as you say, it is required by the colleges you are applying to.</p>

<p>I got a 790 for W on my SAT1 with a 10 essay
(totally unexpected)</p>

<p>but i heard colleges don't look at the writing section much?</p>

<p>Yeah i was quite happy with my Math II score until it showed that it was 79% percentile. which is crazy! a 760 for history is like 90% percentile or something.</p>
