Which subject tests should I take?

<p>I'm currently trying to figure out which subject tests I ought to take. I think I'll take two. I'd also consider a third if I could figure out what to take.</p>

<p>Is it a good idea to take the subject tests in math and literature, or would colleges look down upon it because the SAT I already covers both, though in less depth? I feel that I would do pretty well in both, considering they are pretty much my consistently favorite subjects throughout the years.</p>

<p>If taking these tests are a bad idea, what would you guys suggest? </p>

<p>I've taken both biology I and chemistry I, and am currently taking physics, but they were all normal, non-AP, non-honors classes (as my school did not offer alternatives at the time). I wouldn't mind taking out a book to read and doing some (or a lot) of studying. My concern is about getting all the material necessary for the test and to have everything studied in time for applications next school year (as I am currently a junior). </p>

<p>What do you guys suggest? How should I best prepare? Thanks!</p>

<p>I can’t really judge the rigor of your science curriculum since it’s not honors/AP. I would say that colleges definitely do *not *look down on taking math (especially math 2) simply because it is covered in the SAT I. In fact, from what I hear, it is highly recommended. If you think you can do well, go ahead and do it. Take practice tests to see how you’re doing if you want a rough estimate. It looks like you haven’t considered a history, though, perhaps US or world? But if you’re more confident about math/lit, I’d say definitely go for it.</p>
