The quandary of the 3rd test...

<p>I just took USH (800 :)) and Lit (700) on the June test date. I'm uber thrilled w/ my USH score and pretty indifferent towards my Lit Score. Come October/November I will probably retake Lit if I feel I can improve significantly and will defiantly take another test. </p>

<p>But, which test should it be... it should probably be a sci or math test to balance out USH and Lit, right? Which science/math is easiest to self study for? My school doesn't offer APs or honors in science (capital L-A-M-E- I know) so all my sciences so far are regents level. My grades in sci have been great though, all 96+. I couldn't take math this year due to scheduling (again, say it with me, LAME) so I'm kinda out of the mathematics loop. However, next year I will be taking a college bio course and a precalc class, but I don't plan on gaining too much knowledge in the 1 month before the test. I was looking at practice bio questions on the CB website and found it surprisingly easy (only missed 2/~15 questions). Also, I have heard bio is an OK one to self study for- mostly memorization. Would this be a good choice?</p>

<p>Or the last option- I could wait until Dec. and take world hist (I'm confident I could could score 750+ w/ prep). But, this means applying to Georgetown RD not EA (not a huge deal- G'town isn't my top choice) and not knowing the score before I send it. Also, I'm afraid that USH-Lit-WH combo will make me look poorly rounded and more angular than a polyhedron. </p>

<p>Is bio the logical choice here? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Anyone????</p>

<p>Well, I took USH, Lit, and French, and while I applied ED, so my sample size of admission results is not large, I definitely never regretted going a no-science route. Two histories may be a slight problem, but really, I would aim for what you think you'll do best in.</p>

<p>Since it seems, however, you think your bio performance would be equal or better, you could get it done at an earlier test date, <em>and</em> it's a science....I would go with that.</p>

<p>OK, thanks! I guess I'll go check out a Bio book.</p>

<p>Wait, my B-day is coming up, so I'll ask for a book. Which book do you recommend?</p>

<p>any preferences?</p>

<p>I used cliffsAP bc I was prepping for both AP Bio and SAT II Bio. The questions were very similar to the actual SAT II test, though the info was a bit too detailed for the Subject test. I ended up with a 760 simply bc I used cliffs.</p>
