Which Subject Tests to take ?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I am in a DILEMNA…(is the spelling rite ?)</p>

<p>Let me explain the situation in India. After Std 10, we get a choice…either take science OR commerce. Since i wanted to do a major in Business Admin., i figured i should take commerce (eco/accountancy…) and not science. It became impossible for me to Give 3 SAT II subject tests of any combination other than Writing, IC and IIC… my second language is Hindi (not offered) and i had left science two yrs. ago… will universities understand that ? Canji still have hope to enter in to a good univ. ?what scores whould i get ?</p>

<p>SAT I 1410 (v-620/m-790)
TOEFL 233-287 (still awaiting)
Ranked : First in class of 100
Community Service : Interact Club - Director of Club Service</p>

<p>Clearly, you would do well in the math subject tests. You may also want to consider taking either World History or US History (somewhat easy to self-study for). Many colleges also want writing. </p>

<p>Additionally, there are many good universities that don’t require subject tests at all.</p>

3

<p>i have already given my SAT II in Writing, IC and IIC…will colleges still accept that ??..how much of an appx. should i get ?</p>

4

<p>Yes. Well… to give you a general score idea, you need to tell us where you would like to go to school in the United States.</p>

5

<p>hi, fellow indian here. If you did CBSE, then chem SAT II should be no problem</p>

<p>and it is dilemma</p>

6

<p>no im gonna give ISC…i gave ICSE in class 10… suppose i appy to UPenn/Berkeley/Michigan (AnnArbor) or maybe NUS (Singapore)… i m also applying to Indiana Bloomington and U Ill. Urbana…how much would a good SAT II score be ?</p>

7

<p>700+ is just fine.</p>

<p>“UPenn/Berkeley/Michigan (AnnArbor)” woahh can u afford the 40K bill at Umich and berkeley. </p>

<p>Anyways ur SAT I score is pretty much a lock at Umich, provided u already applied (ur applying this year right??)</p>

8

<p>700+ in anything is looked at quite favorably</p>

9

<p>700+ in all three u mean ?.. i can get it in two out of three…still wondering about Writing… maybe i’ll get 650 in that…yes i’m applying this year</p>

10

<p>yep thats good enough. (I got a 650 on Writing, do hmm actually its great :D)</p>

<p>oh btw if u havent already sent in ur UMich app, do it ASAP. Its on rolling admissions so the earlier you apply the better.</p>

<p>good luck.</p>

11

<p>does that mean i can give Writing, Math IC and Math IIC ?</p>

12

<p>Yes you can, unless a school specifically says you can’t.</p>

13

<p>mishra, i have the same problem…did icse in 10th and hav now switched to cbse commerce stream, have taken math1c math2c and writing…as far as i know it does put us at a disadvtg. but there’s not much that we can do about that.</p>

14

<p>no problem with givingmath 1c and math 2c as far as i know… dont even think abt giving science SAT 2s with icse class 10 knowledge. Lots of us in Plus 2 science managed to screw the papers up and it would probably be worse for u.</p>

15

<p>hey mishra ur a fellow calcuttan!</p>

16

<p>oh yes…i am calcuttan…bosconian by the way…u in which school ???</p>
