<p>Hello.</p>

<p>I was wondering if anyone could help me choose which SAT II's I should take. I'm trying to get into Princeton, so what do you think?</p>

<p>(I've decided between Literature, World History, Biology, Chemistry, German, or Spanish. I only need three. And I'm better at biology, but would chemistry look better?)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>take them all if you can. if you can't, choose the ones you can do better. it doesn't really matter whether you take bio or chem--since they are both relatively easy.</p>

<p>Test #1: Literature or World History
Test #2: Biology or Chemistry
Test #3: German or Spanish</p>

<p>For each, choose the one you'd do the best on. For #2, that sounds like Biology. You really do only need three.</p>

<p>If you feel better with biology, then go with it.</p>

<p>kemet: you should probably add math 2c to that list</p>

<p>raghavp, I agree that Math IIC is a fairly standard exam. However, the OP didn't include it, so I didn't either. </p>

<p>Princeton doesn't require it unless you're going into engineering.

Students may select any three SAT II tests. However, applicants who intend to pursue a B.S.E. degree are expected to take an SAT II in either physics or chemistry and one of the SAT II tests in mathematics.

Cornell doesn't require it either if you're doing Arts & Sciences.

<p>An SAT II Math is not actually required at most schools, except for the more science- and engineering-oriented schools or divisions within a school.</p>
