Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>So I just got my SAT II subject scores, and i know they're not fantastic</p>

<p>I got:</p>

<p>World History: 700
US History: 690 (i haven't taken this couse in 2 years and didn't study... should have done that!)
German with listening: 680</p>

<p>many of my schools only look at the top two scores i send. should i send in the World History and the German to show a variety in strengths? or the two history tests which have better scores?</p>

<p>i want to major in history and minor in german btw. and i don't know if that german score shows i am proficient</p>

<p>i would say world and german. the amount of people that did better on us history is substantial, and german would show your proficiency in another language.</p>

3

<p>that’s what i was thinking too.
i heard of a lot of people getting like 750s on the german test, which worries me.
i spent a year in germany, but never spoke a word of german or had any lessons/official grammar before I went, but i still wish i had done better on this test. i know that i’m proficient, but i’m afraid teh test doesn’t show that</p>

<p>Is there any way you can retake your tests? If not, then go with World and German, as touhou said, the number of people taking German and doing better is less than that for US History. Native speakers tend to take the language tests a lot, and since you are not, it will be a plus for you, more so than the US history grade. Additionally, it provides more variety than 2 history subject tests.</p>
