What SAT 2 subject tests to take?

<p>The colleges I am looking at require two subject tests, most of them say that it is my choice.
I have had no guidance about subject tests, so I was wondering:
What is the difference between Math 1 and Math 2?
Which subject tests do you recommend? (My strengths are history and math, but I'm not sure how hard/easy the subject tests are).</p>

<p>Math 1 has lower-level math, but the curve is horrible, so it’s very difficult to score higher. If you have had pre-calc, even if you weren’t that good at it, you are most likely much better off taking Math 2.</p>

<p>I think World History is the easiest of the histories, at least by curve. As it’s such a broad topic, a lot of the questions are more general. I scored above 750 without having ever taking a world history class (unless elementary school and 7th grade count) and with minimal studying. US requires more specific knowledge and I would only recommend it if you have just finished or will soon finish a course, preferably APUSH.</p>

<p>In addition to that, Literature is really easy.</p>

<p>thanks! I am currently in precalc and apush, so I will probably consider math 2 and US History, but world history does sound good too!</p>

<p>AP US = US Sat II in essence. I took the APUS exam, scored a 5, and two weeks later with no extra studying took the SAT II and got an 800. Also, I suggest Math II over I. But please take whatever you can score bestin, that’s the key. Go try some practice tests at the local book store and see how you do. That’s how I decided to take Chem over Bio b/c my practice score on Chem was much higher</p>

<p>Like Wildcat said, I would try a few practice tests to see which one I’ll do better on.</p>

<p>choose the subjects which are close to ur major</p>

<p>^ I actually wouldn’t necessarily recommend that advice. I believe you should take only the subject tests in areas you are good at and are genuinely interested in, even if they have nothing to do with your future major. Besides, not everyone knows what they’re going to major in, not even when they begin applying and perhaps not even until they’re done with their first year of college!</p>
