SAT Physics, Literature, and US History? What to take?

Archive SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>I’m a rising senior and I’ve taken two SAT IIs so far.
At the moment, I’m planning on taking at least one more subject test
in October before I apply early, but I’m not sure which one would be easiest to take.</p>

<p>I’ve taken Physics at school, and I think it would be very possible to study over summer
to review all the materials. My only concern is that I won’t be able to review and retain
everything when school starts in September. This could be a problem when I have to take the test in October after a month of no studying, especially since I’m shooting for an 800.</p>

<p>Literature could be another option, since I won’t have to review as much when school starts in September to retain everything–simply since there’s not much to retain.
I’m guessing most of it is just reading passages and analyzing, much like in the SAT Reasoning test. My concern is that I won’t be able to earn a 780+ score on the test–well, since it’s SAT Literature.</p>

<p>US History is another option, since I took the course last year. I would have to review lots of things, but i’m not sure how hard the test is, so maybe this won’t be doable.</p>

<p>What do you suggest I take? Literature, which could be hardest to score well, but easiest to “study”? Physics, which I could review at the risk of forgetting everything in September? or… US History, which is just a course I really liked last year and did very well in?</p>

<p>It depends , What are you planning to major in ??</p>

<p>I’m probably doing something in the humanities so history would be the most appropriate test to take… But I’m not sure if it would be best to actually study for the USH test, knowing that I’ll probably have no time to review anything once school starts (before the October test). In terms of studying and scoring WELL (preferably 780+) which would be the best to take?</p>

<p>My advice to you is eliminate phyisics . Don’t take it , it won’t be useful for your major and also since you won’t be able to revise when your school start then you probably shouldn’t take it , physics can’t be left without revision for a month .</p>

<p>Wait tell others give their opinion ( i’m guessing they will give you the same advice that i gave ) , and see what they think is best : USH or literature .</p>
