KMA

Hi there,
I unknowingly procrastinated and have to rapidly take my SAT 2's,
what would you all say are the "easier" SAT 2's to take
I was planning on taking Spanish with Listening, but found out that it is pretty tough (I have taken three years of Spanish in HS and have received A's without any effort--if that helps in judging).
I also planned on taking Literature but then read another thread which claimed that Lit. is the hardest SAT 2 around!?
Can someone please help me??
I know it depends on your strengths/weaknesses but, please

thanks

KMA

bump please

go to barnes & noble, pick out collegeboard's official study guide for all SAT subject tests, scan through all the tests and pick the ones you feel comfortable with

Can you take SAT IIs now or do you have to wait until the October test?

KMA

till oct. but im freakin' out!!!!

Oh, too bad, I just found out that son could have taken the SAT IIs based on the chem and bio he took the last two years- but we didn't know he could do that so now he'll probably forget a lot waiting around til Oct...

What year are you KMA? Junior?

if you are asian take math physics chemistry and biology. all science subjects fit.

if you are not, take the one you like. but in my opinion math2 is the easiest. I got 800 with only one practice test done. and spent about 1 hour for the whole prep progress.

well looking at average scores, chinese

there is no "easy" subject test. They are all designed to be at the same level of difficulty for that particular subject. It really depends on YOUR strengths. What subjects are you best in? what subjects have u taken recently?

thats only bcuz most chinese sat takers r native chinese speakers
i think easiest ones r languages that u natively speak if english isnt your first language

It really depends on what subjects you are strong in. But you should know that it is a misconception that the literature test is one of the "easy" tests. I had heard this, and took it, but I'm retaking it, because I'm not happy with my score. Some of the passages are actually quite difficult, and I did well on the CR of the regular SAT. NOt saying you shouldn't take it, but just keep this in mind.
Anyway, like I said, it really depends on your personal strengths, but math 1 is obviously easier than math 2, and bio is probably easier than chem and physics. The languages should be taken if you really have a lot of prep. The history ones are probably not that hard, just memorization of information basically.

LLOOOOOOOOLLL
dude u have till october! thats enough time to get ready for 15 million SAT II's
u dont need to be freakin out lol
take math II, anybody DECENT at math should be able to do well on that test its so dam easy
if u are into science, i would say take chem i think its easier than bio
if not, then us history and world history are really easy but nowhere good cares about them. if ur trying to go somewhere good, ur best bet is math and a science

Even if you haven't taken an advanced class in it, US History is pretty manageable through self-study.

lol i got 660 in us history while taking the honors class in school
but i only studied from my school textbook and cb's official guide to us/world history sat's

Take a subject test based on something you learned this year, so the material is still fresh in your mind.

Also, I found Math I to be very similar to the SAT I math, so if you did well on that and still remember it, Math I is very manageable. This is coming from a non math/science person =)

and whatever you do, don't take a foreign language test in your native language just because you're panicked.
