<p>I have taken Spanish and US History, and I'm going to take Math Level 2. If I also took Math Level 1 and scored highly on that, would it be useful as a 4th subject test (as a "buffer"), or is it useless since I am also taking the Level 2 one? </p>
<p>Also, I want to major in International Relations. I know that Spanish and US History are good for that major, and perhaps Math, too, but would a Science SAT2 be of use or would I be spreading myself thin?</p>
<p>Most schools specify that one Math is sufficient. If you have reached Calculus level math, you are predicted to have a better score in level II than I simply because of the curve to get to 800.</p>
<p>A science test would be more useful than a second math test.</p>
<p>Ya, some schools don’t even allow you to send them to math SAT scores. Plus, it’s easier to get an 800 on MATH II. Just do Chemistry or Bio or Physics. Don’t do World rofl (that’s for sure), it’s so much harder I think.</p>
<p>Are you saying not to do World History??? Lol I was thinking about doing that too. Right now I am definitely going to do Math Level 2 and probably Literature (unless someone gives solid advice to do otherwise). Does anyone know what Lit review books are best to use?</p>
<p>I was seriously thinking about taking the World History in December since I am a history buff (even though I will only have one shot at it…) Is this not a good idea?</p>
<p>If you feel in any science subject it is highly advised since you have covered liberal arts well with USH, Spanish, you need to try at least one area of science.</p>
<p>What are you planning to study?</p>
<p>even though world history is hard, the curve is the most generous out of all the subject tests(like 16 wrong for 800 i think?), so you should take it if you study enough for it.</p>
<p>I am planning to major in International Relations (and minor in Arabic). I am just curious if a science (and what one at that) would really help me. I know I could study for one of them and do well, but I don’t want to spend that much time preparing for something that is not going to help me much in the future. Will colleges value a “well-rounded” student or will they value someone who hones in on his passions?</p>
<p>secondarrow: Wow. Did you take it? IF so, what books did you use to study? As long as I have the proper review books to study, I have no worries about doing well on it.</p>
<p>no i didn’t take it, but I have friends who have scored well on it because of the curve. they didn’t even take the class…they just used the Princeton review books to study.</p>
<p>I took the World, and I found that the Princeton Review SAT II World is horrible… Just get a Barron’s. It is supposed to be the best AP World book. But you could use a MATH I as a buffer if the college is fine with it. I suggest taking MATH II since it is easier and looks better. Fo a lit book, do not get Barron’s, get Princeton Review. My school’s lit teacher said that it was really horrible. (She also guessed the main part of the AP test.) She said PR would be better for AP and SAT II.</p>
<p>secondarrow and Whatdoyouthink: Thank you. I’m thinking I might do that. I’ll probably start studying for World and Literature in a few months after I’m ready for math.</p>
