Which SAT II Tests to take?

Hello!

I am considering taking around 5 SAT II subject tests, though I am not completely sure which ones yet.
I would like to major in science in the future with possibly a minor in design/art.

So far, I am thinking: Literature, Math II, Physics, Biology, Chemistry/World History

I am unsure whether to take Chemistry/World History. I think taking 6 subject tests would seem like an overkill for me :stuck_out_tongue:

Since subject tests are supposed to correlate with intended majors and such, I previously wanted to take Literature, Math II, Physics, Biology, Chemistry.
However, thereā€™s the constant need to ā€œdifferentiateā€, especially with going to an extremely STEM competitive school. I understand one subject test wonā€™t make or break a college application, but I donā€™t really mind studying for eitherā€¦ I have taken required freshman Chemistry and currently take World History, though I consistently self study Chemistry so it wonā€™t be too much of a problem.

I am definite on Literature, Math II, Physics, Biology(or so I think!). I took Math II in January, with a 800.
Literature and Physics are planned for May, and Biology (not sure which one yet) probably June or October if Iā€™m lazy. :stuck_out_tongue:
Should I take Chemistry or World History on top of those?

***I am a sophomore so I still have time if some scores arenā€™t that great and I need to retake. I would just like to get standardized testing with before second semester junior year (when thinking about college apps and competitions creep onto me). :slight_smile:

Thank you!

@mvxesque Regardless of which subject tests you take, you usually never have to take more than two (Georgetown strongly recommends 3 subject tests; many universities/departments require two). I only took Math II and Physics.
