third sat subject test

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>My younger brother is in a dilemma, Last June ,he took Math L2 (scored 800) , Literature (scored 800)
He wants to take one more subject test.
The question is World History OR Physics . He took a diagnostic test (I proctored him!) and both scores were 800.
What would you reccomend to add as a third subject test?
Math L2 , Literature , WORLD HISTORY</p>

<p>OR</p>

<p>Math L2 ,Literature, PHYSICS</p>

<p>I am really stuck with this question, I want to help the little "bastard" he is driving me and my parents "crazy" with this.</p>

<p>Basically what would be viewed as better by admission officers a high score in World history or Physics?</p>

2

<p>Whichever subject is more in line with his intended career choice is the one he should do. In the eyes of the admissions officer, it won’t matter either way</p>

3

<p>If he’s applying to MIT, he needs to take a science. </p>

<p>(that’s the only one I can think of off the top of my head that requires a science subject test)</p>

<p>Doubt that helps, but just a heads up. haha. I’m sure you’re probably aware of all of what I just said though…</p>

<p>If he doesn’t prefer either subject, I would recommend that he takes Physics for two reasons. Firstly, it has a better curve, which increases his chances of getting an 800 for the real test. Secondly, if he takes Physics, he has a broader range of subjects.</p>

<p>physics ftw</p>

<p>Thanks everyone, my brother decided to go with the Physics test, he signed up today for December 5th test date.</p>

<p>yay good choice</p>

8

<p>Wh has a better curve than physics I think. Why not take both? He got 800s so it’s not like he has to study</p>

9

<p>Onemoretime! On WH you can skip 15-20 questions and still get a 800, on Physics you can skip 10-12 questions and still get a 800.So yes WH has a better curve.But my brother already has a perfect SAT Reasoning score and two perfect SAT Subject scores.He will add one more Sat Subject test score only because he is applying to Harvard.Let’s face it , having 4 or even 5 ,6, 7 SAT Subject scores will not get anyone to Harvard . In his case 3 strong scores + gpa ,recs , and he has a good chance.Look at my stats from last year in this thread: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/608631-harvard-class-2013-a.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/608631-harvard-class-2013-a.html&lt;/a&gt; </p>

<p>I got rejected by Harvard , but was accepted by Yale,Columbia and Julliard. I chose Yale.</p>
