<p>I'm a rising Junior, and one of the colleges that I'm currently looking at is Vassar. They require an SAT plus 2 subject tests in different areas. I took the US History Subject Test my sophomore year, because why not? and got a 750. The only other subject test that I was planning on taking was World History, as I'll be taking that this year. But that's in the same area as US History, so it wouldn't really help me unless I get a better score.
This coming year, I'm taking AP Macroeconomics, AP Lang & Comp, AP World History, and AP Psychology. None of those classes translate into a Subject Test, so I'm a bit worried. The only other one that I could possibly think of taking would be the Literature Subject test, but my school doesn't permit juniors to take AP Lit (and it doesn't permit seniors to take AP Lang), and if I'm taking the class my senior year, there would be no point in taking the subject test in May of my senior year.
I was thinking about asking my AP Lang teacher about what he thinks about me taking the Lit subject test, as I had him for English my sophomore year, so he knows me well. I'm also taking Honors Film and Lit in my second semester of my junior year with an English teacher that has a PhD, so I'm not sure how much that will help...
What do you think? Any ideas on what other subject tests I could take? I'm aware that Vassar takes the ACT with writing, but I got a 190 on my PSAT without knowing how to do Geometry and with no prior studying, so I feel certain that I will continue to do well on the SAT.</p>
<p>What about Math II? Pick up a barrons/PR Review book and if you’re decent at math you should do fine. As for the sciences, you can take the corresponding subject test having only 1 year of exp ( w/e pre-ap equivalent is at your school)(or taking this year) and do decent. Salutatorian this past year took bio sat II freshman year without AP and got a 770. Guy in my class took physics and got a 750. More studying would be needed though. </p>
<p>edit: Since you’re a rising junior, why not take an AP science course this year?</p>
<p>I second the ^^ science subject test. When I was taking my SATs I swayed away from literature because the questions were sorta tough to answer since at the time they didn’t seem like the CR passages and I didn’t take AP Lit yet. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take it. Maybe try a practice test and see how you do 
</p>
<p>@hagzzz I swayed away from the science test because I’m notoriously bad at it. I got a B in Honors Physics, and a B in Honors Chem (with a D on the final. . 
). I like the idea of Math II, but this year, to keep my workload in check, I dropped down to a standard level Algebra II, so I’d be wary of how I would do.</p>
<p>Only take Math 2 after precalculus. If you arent taking a science class this year, I would take a literature subject test in the spring and see how you do. If you get less than a 700, just take world history. Even though it’s less diversity, the world history test is fairly easy and a good score on that is still better for your app than an average or bad score on another subject.</p>
