<p>I have to take 3 subject tests for some of my applications. Math and science have always been my strength, so I picked a math test and chemistry. However, I'm also required to pick an English/Humanities/Language test. I have to take the November test (I have a conflict on the day of the October testing date) because I'm applying early action. I'm technically a junior, but I'm graduating a year early so I'm kind of on a time crunch! </p>
<p>I grew up with a little bit of Chinese, but I read that the curve is really hard because a lot of people who spoke it at home growing up take the test, so I decided against Chinese. I also decided against Spanish because I've only taken 2 years and I'm not taking it this year because I was forced to drop it in order for my schedule to fit (and to get calc - my school only has Spanish twice a day, band once a day (which I think is probably typical), honors English twice a day, physics twice a day, calc once a day (and calc takes up two periods because it's at the community college), AP gov once a day, and APUSH once a day so if two classes are at the same period, I have to choose). Since the World History test isn't given in November, I'm left with Literature and U.S. History. </p>
<p>Does anybody have any tips on which test I should take? I'm currently taking AP U.S. History but it'll only have been 2.5 months into the school year. And literature has always been pretty difficult for me - reading comprehension is always the worst score by far when it comes to state standardized tests (even if I'm above average, the score is awful compared to my other scores). I got a 67 on my CR on PSAT but decided against taking the SAT. I took the ACT w/writing and got a composite score of 34. My English score was 35, math 34, science 36, reading 32, and combined English/writing 31. </p>
<p>History has always been a bit easier for me than English, but at the same time, I'm concerned that I will not have learned nearly enough material by the testing date. I had U.S. history classes in 5th and 8th grade, but they didn't go past the civil war, so I'll have learned to the civil war pretty well, but won't know anything after the civil war. </p>
<p>Should I go with the literature test? Or is it really difficult and have a difficult curve? Thanks in advance for all the help!</p>
