<p>I'm trying to decide which would be the best subject Tests to take. Preferably, I want to take them at the end of this year but I do't mind doing it in the beginning of senior year. I know I'm taking the U.S. History one because I have that class now but I'm in a dilemma about the others. I'm good at Spanish but I've heard that the curve for the subject test is hard plus I'm only in Spanish 3 this year so I'm worried about whateher I would have enough spanish knowledge to take the test. If I took it senior year, I would be in IB Spanish but I still don't know if that is enough. I've gotten straight A's in spanish and i find it really easy. I could take the Literature test but I've heard the curve is also hard and I don't know if I would be good at the Literature one. I could take the Math II because I'm in Pre-Calc right now but math is my worst subject so I want to avoid that. I could take the Chem subject test but I'm only in Honors Chem right now but next year I'm going to take IB Chem II. I don't if I have enough knowledge for the test. My best subjects are History and English so I might do literature but I'm still unsure. I really need another persepctive on which one is the best. Also, do you think I should ask some of my teachers for advice but I don't know how familiar they are with this because most people in my school do not take the Subject tests. Thanks. :)</p>
<p>Many colleges, especially the top ones require Math II SAT, so I don’t think there’s a way out of that. </p>
<p>I don’t know about Lit and Spanish, but if you’re confident in history, why don’t you try both US and World History. Both have generous curves. In world history, you can miss like 20 points and still score 800 (out of 90+ questions).</p>
<p>I would like to do that but would colleges accept tow history subject tests for their requirements or do they want it to be in different subjects?</p>
<p>Do the Math II because it’s hard to get out of that. As for Spanish and Literature, check out a book from the library (I haven’t taken/don’t plan to take either of those so I don’t know which ones are most realistic; you could read some reviews to find out or something) and do a practice test in each. If you’re within, say, 150 points of where you want to be, you can certainly get that up with studying.</p>
<p>Most colleges require 2 subject tests.</p>
<p>Math + another. So you’ll be fine on that, just make sure to strengthen your math.</p>
<p>@ xquiksilverx That’s a good suggestion. I’ll probably do that.</p>
<p>@rknan I thought colleges just required two subject tests not math specifically. I thought they only required math when you want to major in engineering which I’m not doing.</p>
<p>I’m not really sure if most colleges “require” or “preferr” so if I’m wrong, thanks AmbitiousDreams for correcting me.</p>
<p>I still believe it’s essential that you submit a Math II score, though. It shows that you are well grounded in high school math and can pursue college math in college without problem.</p>
