Hi -
I’m an international student apllying to colle in the US for admission in 2010. I’m looking at the higher end of the academic spectrum (Ivies etc). I have registered to take the SAT Subject Tests in June, and am unsure which to sit. Of all the colleges that I’ll be applying to, only Princeton and Harvard require three subject tests, and both of these (by my understanding) view Math 1 and Math 2 as separate exams.

My options are therefore:

1: Sit Math 2, World History and Literature (which I am not currently studying, but am fairly competent at)

2: Sit Math 1, Math 2, and World History

3: Sit Math 1, Math 2, and Literature

Obviously the answer depends largely on the direction of my own abilities, but I would be very interested to hear anyone’s thoughts.

Thanks for you attention, and sorry that this is all a bit disorganised,

Jo.
