<p>Before I start, can I actually choose which scores to send to colleges? I mean can I pick Physics if I scored better on it? If yes, don't read the following, but if no, please answer the following question.</p>
<p>I know this question sounds dumb but I really want to take one of these two. I am not extremely good in both subjects but I have fair knowledge in both. Which one would you say is an easier, or easier to learn in short amount of time (btw, I am in HL IB in Chemistry and Physics). I haven't been studying the test up to now and plan on taking it this october. Which one would you guys suggest? (I will be applying as a management major and will major in management if I get accepted to MIT).</p>
<p>MIT will only look/consider the science score you choose (physics, chem, bio). So if you take two, and score higher on one, then only show them that. However, you can not cancel SAT II scores (nor SAT I) like you can do with APs. At most schools I believe you have to show all of your scores, no matter what.</p>
<p>As for which SAT II I recommend:
I scored 4s on AP Chem and AP Physics B junior year (Physics B was self studied), but got ~760 and ~640, respectively. I spent all of my SAT II studying time for the Physics B.. :/ Your milage may vary.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>panasonic is correct that MIT will only look at scores which present you in the best light.</p>

Q. I've taken more than three SAT IIs. Which should I submit as my third test?</p>
<p>A. Submit all of your scores. We will only use your best math, your best science, and whatever third test will make you look best.

<p>The chemistry one is pretty easy. Just practice doing the special format questions.</p>
