Hi!
I have a big problem with the SAT subject test taking. Although most schools don’t require the SAT Subject tests, especially for international students they don’t, but an application will always appear stronger if you also submit SAT subject test scores. But there’s quite a dilemma for me. I can’t really take any of them besides maths, but there is no use in taking both Maths 1 and Maths 2, so, i would only have 1 subject test in my account, but then it’s no use, i guess. I know two languages besides English, but they don’t give the chance to take subject tests in these languages. All the science programs are totally different for the US schools, so bio/chem/phys tests are not an option. And history, well, that’s not my strongest field. The only one left is lterature, but, ahh, english is not my mother language so it would be even harder for me to get a great score in the literature test. So, what should i do? Should i try and take the tests even though i can’t get high scores? Or just give up schools which require the tests??
