<p>I will be taking SAT II in June and two of the tests are definitely going to be biology and math. </p>
<p>I probably won't go into heavy/strict sciences so I am thinking about taking more 'balanced' SAT IIs. On the college application I will probably put down undecided. </p>
<p>I can't take languages/history, so the only option left is literature.</p>
<p>Despite of my interest in literature, I do really bad on my prep tests (It is now already February and my score is not even 700). </p>
<p>Should I give literature up and take chemistry instead? I am confident that I will get 780+ in Chemistry. Could my CR in SAT I 'replace' the 'humanity' component?</p>
<p>For Harvard any 3 SATIIS will do. But if you are applying to other colleges, check their requirements. The CR on the SAT will not replace the “humanities” SAT-Subject requirement.</p>
<p>I am not aware of any college that requires people to take the English Literature SAT II. Some used to require the Writing SAT II until it was incorporated in the SAT I, and some require a math SAT II. The fact that I don’t know about it doesn’t mean that some college somewhere doesn’t require it (or require at least one non-math/science test), so you still have to check the rules of every college you might apply to. But you should stop worrying about it. If you don’t like the Lit test, you are not going to have to take it.</p>
