<p>I’m going into the humanities, and my forte consists of languages, history, politics, and so forth. Although I like math and am reasonably good at science for a humanities person, I definitely cannot compare to people with real math and science skills. Just as an example, I got a 730 on the SAT Math on my first try, and while I think I can raise that to 750 or 760, I don’t expect to ever get 800. In school, I do take the highest levels of math and science available, but I average a low A that falls far short of the perfect scores and understanding some of my classmates exhibit.</p>
<p>Given this information, I’m worried that I could score below a 750 on the Math II, and I’m very disinclined to take a science subject test because science would probably turn out even worse. However, I don’t know if submitting only a language subject test and history subject test is enough for the top colleges (e.g. Ivy Leagues and other excellent research universities). Do I need to take the Math II to demonstrate a broader range of skills to colleges? Or should I play it safe and only take humanities tests?</p>
<p>(Keep in mind that it is possible that I can score well on the Math II…I haven’t actually tried a practice test yet, so this is simply speculation from my experience as a good but nowhere near great math student.)</p>
