What Subject Test should I take???

Test Preparation
1

<p>So my colleges require three subject tests. So far I have taken the World History test and got a 780. I am trying to decide what other tests to take.</p>

<p>First off all, (I'm taking them in June), should I take 2 or 3? If I take 2, and I don't do well on one, I can take another in the fall. If I take three, and don't do well on one, then I have three already. </p>

<p>The tests.
So I'm thinking either a neuroscience or international relations major.
I'm definitely taking Biology M, so that's 1.
Now I was trying some of collegeboard's practice questions and I found that US history ones were super easy for me, but would it be in my interest to take 2 histories, even if I do very well on them (they sort of work out towards that international relations major).
I will NOT take English. If colleges want to see my English scores they can look at the SATs or my AP English score or English grades.
And I was looking at Math 1 or 2. I am currently a junior in AP calculus (will be in AP calc BC next year). Would it look stupid if I took Math 1, a lower level math, or should I take Math 2? I thought math 1 was a lot easier.
And French is a possibility, but I found it a little challenging and it's not available until November.
I could also take Chem... but... that's a maybe. I'm in AP chem right now and will probably get a 4ish on the AP test so I don't know how that would translate to the SATs, but I really want over a 700.</p>

<p>So.
I have World History - 780
And
Bio M
US history
Math 1/2
French
Chem</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>World History is pretty irrelevant considering your major. </p>

<p>I would do Bio/Chem/Math2</p>

<p>If you’re sending 3 (Georgetown/JHU I assume), then two histories wouldn’t be bad. Math I may be easier material, but the curve is much harsher. You have to see which of the other ones have practice questions you do well on.</p>

<p>My suggestion for your next testing date:</p>

<p>US History
Math (2 is probably better, but 1 if it’s what you can handle)
Science (whichever you are better at)</p>

<p>By taking three, you’re increasing your likelihood of scoring two more high scores, and thus being done. Get the College Board SAT Subject Test book if you don’t have it already and take the previously administered tests to see how you’ll do on each.</p>

<p>

World History is extremely relevant to International Relations, one of the potential majors listed.</p>

4

<p>Math II has a generous curve (10 percent of the test takers get an 800); some schools may require it if you’re interested in majoring in math or science.</p>

5

<p>I’d go with US History and Math 2.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
