Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I have recently taken a Chem SAT2 and did very well: 0 wrong and 0 blank according to the posts.
I am wondering do colleges care significantly about humanities so that i should take one. The humanities tests (lit and USH and world) have extremely harsh curves. A 95 percentile in chem is a 800 whie 99 percentile is USH and 98 percentile is 800 in lit.
SO my question is should i take a 4th subject test in humanities? </p>

<p>My projected Subject test scores : Chem 800 Math 790-800 Physics 800 (92%tile and up is 800, insanely easy). </p>

<p>If so, should i take Literature or USH?
All input are welcome.</p>

<p>If you don’t want to study, take Lit. If you’re willing to study (which you seem to be), take USH–it’s a guaranteed 800. The reason the curves are so much harsher for USH & Lit is because so many more people take them.</p>

<p>You should definitely take one subject test in the humanities. It’s obvious you’re good at math and science; you only need to demonstrate proficiency in the humanities.</p>

<p>Oh the humanities…</p>

<p>Percentile wise, US History may seem hard, but in reality you can usually miss 8-9 questions and still get an 800 (not that bad).</p>

5

<p>If you’re naturally good at English: take Lit.
If you’re good at memorizing/cramming: take US</p>

<p>But i heard US was disgustingly hard this year. (Although i am amazing at cramming)
Read a 500 page viault book in 4 days and beasted the AP euro.</p>

<p>It wasn’t bad. I read the AMSCO book twice, and I’m positive I made an 800.</p>

<p>Not really. It was actually really easy I thought. If you know your themes you can figure out the answers even if you don’t completely know it. I did that and so far haven’t gotten many wrong at all. The curve is amazing too. </p>

<p>I don’t understand why everyone is freaking out about the US history test. I took APUSH in 2007-2008 school year and studied basically the night before and the morning of and it was still alright.</p>

<p>99th percentile does not Lie. Those are released college board statistics. Either people are incompetent on the test or the test is hard. My money is on the latter.</p>
