Hey guys,

I was wondering: should I take the US history subject test if I have never taken a college-preparatory course in high school (I am a Canadian student with minimum knowledge but a strong interest in history)?

In other words, will studying from a prep book like Barron’s be sufficient or still too much to handle? Would it be worth it?

I am taking three subject tests this November for Early Decision. I am taking the Biology and Math II subject tests, and I plan on taking either Literature or US History as my third subject test. So should I take Literature or US History? Which one would be easier considering my current situation? (Isn’t Literature similar to Critical Reading?) For my regular decision schools, I will most likely take the World History subject test on December.

By the way, I’m applying to College of Arts and Sciences, and intending to major in Political Science. I was also wondering if Literature or History looks better for liberal arts programs, especially politics.
