<p>Hi everyone,
I'm having some difficulties trying to decide what subject tests I should take. My two big focuses/the two fields that I love are biology and English, and I looked at a couple practice questions for a bunch of subject tests. I feel like I would do best if I took BioE, BioM, and Lit for my 3 mandatory subject tests, but I am not sure if this would be a good idea (having two Biologies out of three SAT IIs).
If it helps, I am looking at applying to Harvard next year.
Thank you so much :)</p>
<p>I’m almost certain that you can’t take the two in biology so you’ll need another one. The difference between bio M and E is the last twenty questions are different, meaning the first 60 are identical so you’re only allowed to take one of the bios on a given test date. So for your your third test just take what ever other subject you feel comfortable with or whatever corresponds with a class you’ve just completed. From personal experience I’d recommend US history if you’ve taken the AP class but if not just take anything that’s not a language (the foreign language ones are very difficult unless you’re well beyond AP level, i.e. fluent).</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your reply! I’m an international student and unfortunately, have never taken any U.S. history courses (or any history courses at all); so I think I will do Math II. Thank you for that though, I was unaware about the two Biologies</p>
