i think writing is a requirement, in one form or another. math too i suppose. it'd be good if the third test was related to your intended major.

I don't think you need to take more than Math, Writing (required) and a third...only take more if you think you can do REALLY well in them...otherwise you're probably just shooting yourself in the foot.

which math would you recommend? math IC or IIC?? i just took calc AB so i figured maybe IIC would be better because the stuff on the test would be more fresh in my mind.... but im not sure yet. im thinking about taking bio because i thast what i wanna major in. i took a practice test at the beginning of summer right after i studied for APs and i got in the 700s. but now after the summer i don't know how much info i still know and im gonna hafta take it in october so im not sure if thats enough time to get ready for it. thanks guys

hmm okay thanks. i was leaning towards IIc too just bc i feel like that stuff is a little more fresh in my mind than the Ic material. thanks varr!
