What SAT II subject tests should I take?

<p>I took AP World in my sophomore year and got a five on the exam. I heard about the WH SAT II test from a couple of people, took it at the last minute, and ended up with a 720 (probably could have gotten better :( ). I'm taking AP Chem, AP US, AP Lang, and AP BC Calc this year. Based on these APs, what subject tests do you think I should take?</p>

<p>Which SATIIs to take depends on what your planned college major may be. </p>

<p>Engineering and science students with APCalc BC background are expected to do Math Level 2. Many of these schools also like to see chemistry or physics. </p>

<p>Non science/engineering types have more freedom in choosing tests. The SAT Subject test review book (from College Board) can be helpful to plan and review with throughout the year, so if something is not covered in your AP class that is on the SATII, you can pick it up as you go along.</p>

<p>Well, generally, take the ones you think you would score high on!</p>

<p>Also, you may want to be aware of requirements colleges have for certain majors.
Top-tier colleges usually want two subject tests. Which should be fine, because you seem set on taking at least second subject test.
But some college programs for engineering and business require a subject test that’s Math II. See what I’m saying?
Also, there’s at least one school out there (UT Austin) that uses SAT subject tests for class credit if the scores are high enough.
So you should consider taking a subject test on subject you think you’ll want to study in college.</p>

<p>If you have no idea as of now where you want to go for college or what you want to study, then I’d advise taking at least a science and a math subject test. Your history subject test is fine (720 shows that you know your stuff, you just made some stupid mistakes). That way you’ll surely be covered for most, if not all, college requirements.</p>
