<p>I want to apply for a Liberal Arts program, and am almost 95% certain that I'll be majoring in Economics. There's also a chance I might apply to a couple business schools this coming fall.</p>
<p>I have already decided that I want to take the SAT Math Level 2 and Bio Subject Tests, and am almost certain I'd like to take a third one as well. My main question here is: considering that I am equally capable of taking either, which would colleges LIKE to see better: Spanish or Literature?</p>
<p>Which is taken lesser by students? Which is harder to score in?</p>
<p>Also: I'm not trying for Harvard/Princeton/Yale, but I want to apply to UPenn, Columbia, and UChicago, so is an SAT score of 2300 good enough (taken only once) or should I take it again? I'm almost positive I can bring it up to a 2330 for sure, and perhaps even higher, if I get lucky.</p>
<p>Unless Spanish is your native language, a high Spanish score would probably be more impressive than a high Literature score. However according to the link below the percentiles for the Lit test are much more impressive than Spanish (but this may be because many native Spanish speakers score very high and the Spanish test).</p>
<p>Literature is probably one of the hardest subject tests out there. Depending how you are at spanish, and how long you have to prepare, spanish would be better. On a side note, language tests with listening always looks more impressive, but don’t take the listening if you are not prepared for it</p>
<p>The only thing is that Listening is only offered in November, and I have logistical issues with that date in terms of school events/deadlines, so I really wanted to get my Subject Tests over with by October - and then IF I need to retake, I can do so in November. I didn’t want to put off taking them my first time till November, so I figured I’d just take the regular SAT Spanish one. Is there a significant difference between the Listening/regular one? Should I just take it in November? Thanks a lot! :)</p>
