Dreadful Choosing: SAT Subjects

Ok, so, I have taken these subject tests:
Literature 620

Mathematics Level 1 650

Mathematics Level 1 600

Spanish 800

Biology M 700

I am for sure sending BIO M 700 and SPANISH 800. Since spanish is my native/first language, some schools say that I should send an additional test (1.) IS THIS TRUE?!. my second question is (2.) What is better, a MATH 1 650 or a LIT 620?
A lot of people applying to schools do MATH II and get an 800 and I am going to send a MATH I 650??
Thank YOU so much!

ps. I am applyin to top nothch schools like Harvard, Brown, USC, Stanford, Columbia, etc.

What is your major interest? If it's science-related, send the math. And make sure the schools don't require you to send all scores.

It´s neuroscience, but I do not believe that the SAt subject tests have to go accordingly to my career. If it would (I want to become a doctor), I would have to take CHEM, MATH II, and Psysics. To remind you of my tw0 qeustionsS:

(1.) Since spanish is my native/first language, some schools say that I should send an additional test IS THIS TRUE?!.
(2.) What is better, a MATH 1 650 or a LIT 620?

1) Likely. They know you're probably proficient to expert level if it's your native language.
2) You can't compare the scores on two different subjects. I'd say math if you're going into something science-related. Which is why I asked.

Wouldnt this hurt me since other applicants take MATH II and get 700-800. I´d be sending MATH I with a DEPLORABLE score. Woulnt LIT be better or am i wrong?

I say with send Literature unless the schools you are looking @ specifically want Math or Science. The mean score for lit is around a 600 and for math I is around 620. Either retake or send lit.
