<p>The SAT II Subject tests are one hour exams which test your knowledge in a specific subject area (as opposed to the SAT I, which combines math with reading and writing)</p>

<p>Most schools that require SAT IIs ask for two; a handful ask for 3 (e.g. Harvard, and I think Princeton)</p>

<p>Take the SATIIs in whichever subjects you are strongest in; if you're planning on going into business, I'm guessing MathII will be required, although check with the schools you are looking at. It's a good idea to take them at the end of the corresponding course (e.g. Taking Math II right after you finish you math course) just because the material is still fresh in your mind; you can always take them later if you feel you need to review. Since you're only a sophmore, you've still got plenty of time, so don't stress =)</p>
