Which subject tests to take?

So I have to register for the June SAT subject tests by Tuesday. I have to take at least 2 (planning on applying to Berkeley).

I'm set on taking Spanish because I'm a semi-native speaker. I was completely confident that I would take Literature as well but after taking the SAT I for the first time yesterday and having a lot of trouble with the CR I don't know whether I should...the vocabulary was the hardest part of the CR for me and from what I hear, the Lit subject test doesn't have much of that. But it would be tougher in terms of analyzing stuff, right?

I am also considering Math 2 but I'm not sure if I should. Currently I'm in AB Calc and I've done very well-As all year. But I didn't do extraordinarily well in geometry or algebra II and I didn't do well in trig. Would it be a bad idea for me to take Math 2?

Also, if I were to taking Spanish without listening in June and Spanish with listening in the fall, that wouldn't count as two separate subject tests would it?

Since Math II tests Algebra II, Geometry, and Pre Calculus, it probably wouldn't do you well to take it.

You should only register for, and take, one Spanish exam, preferably with Listening.

Lit is a very tough exam, much harder than CR.

Generally, it's a good idea to take exams on which you'll score very high.
