SAT subject TESTS HELP!!!!

Okay!! I am an international student applying into US colleges. Some of these Colleges require 3 subject tests.

I am a totally math and business /economics based person! No Science at all!

So i took Math1(800)/Math2(800)/Chinese(800) (I am chinese, but chinese is not my 1st language)

IS this a really bad combination? I really have nothing else to prove myself worthy - i took chinese out of desperation cos i have no other subjects that i am good at. I mean i cant do US history cos we dont learn too much US history - well at least not about american indians. World history is out of the question - our national curriculum is very narrow scope. My english isnt very good, for SAT reasoning i got 640 for both sections. So what is everyone's suggestion for me? Are my just totally screwed - if you really think about it - the test just shows im good at maths and thats it. I totally loopholed the 3 subject tests if i look at it on a admin level.

Which schools require 3 subject tests? If you satisfy their requirement and if they don't state that they need at least one science subject test, I think you will be fine.

you really need to get out of Math II and I...I think you might consider taking the Chem SAT, just get a review book and study and I'm sure you'll do fine - make sure to understand everything in the book though.

But honestly, taking Math II and Math I really doesn't look good

Two maths are usually not accounted for 2 subject tests and if your native language is Chinese, a subjects test in Chinese is probably not going to meet the requirements also. Check with the school.

Which "schools" require 3 subject tests? Harvard is the only one I know of.
