which SAT II's should i take?

Test Preparation
1

<p>i'm looking to go into business/finance, and want to get into a top university if possible (like ivies).</p>

<p>I have to finish, or at least mostly finish, my first senior semester for courses that i would need for the SAT II's. I'm currently thinking of taking Math 2, bio, and chem. i know most uni sites say that you can take any 3 subject tests,
but people have told me that I shouldn't take 2 in the same category (in this case, bio and chem are sciences), because unis want more "diversified" students.</p>

<p>is this true? and what should i take?</p>

<p>They don't care what you take. Only MIT requires three different areas. If you <em>really</em> want to be balanced, take a humanities test (Lit, US, World, foreign language). Otherwise, just take tests in areas that you're good at.</p>

3

<p>the easier ones, i personally think, are lit and us history. so if you want to diversify, go for those in addition toyour math/science.</p>

4

<p>Actually, fewer people ace Lit than any other test - except for IC.</p>

<p>It really depends on what you're good at, though. SAT II's are not designed the same way the SAT is.</p>

<p>urrrg, but i'm bad at lit... and i doubt i can do histories</p>

<p>I'd take a look at the specific schools you're interested in to see if they have any requirements when it comes to the SATIIs. I know for me, I have to take the Biology, Chemistry and MathiiC if I want to apply to the programs I'm looking into.</p>
