Help me choose 
I'm planning on taking 3 of them (also formerly called SAT II) on June 7. Gotta register by May 6.
Looked at the colleges I'm planning on applying to, and only one of them requires a certain one (math II). All the others recommend 2 or 3 (any).
So I'm gonna take the math II SAT. I have 2 left. Which ones should I take?
To make a better decision:
- I plan on going into prelaw/international relations
- I have taken AP courses in English, Physics, World History, and US History, so I can do well on these subject tests
-I'm a junior
Help me decide my fate!

I vote World History and US History, but maybe English, if you're confident with the pretests.~ But otherwise, just go with what you feel the most confident in. x3

which ones are you taking this year?
it helps to take them if they're fresh in your memory
|
english, physics, and us history are this year. world history was last year
however, i still know a lot of world history cuz i actually enjoyed that class very much (great teacher), and have been reading my review book throughout this year
|
I took Biology, Math II, and English. In my opinion English is the easiest (though it is kind of a luck thing when it comes to how easy your reading samples are). I had a lot of friends who took Physics (some of who qualified for the US National Physics Olympiad) and they said it was not easy. So I'd probably skip out on that.

kind of off topic
im in the 9th grade and i want to take the bio sat ii (im taking courses and such)
my friends are taking it in june and i think that's too early
my bio teacher told me to take it in junior year, but i've heard from alot of people that it's worse since you tend to forget everything useful from 9th grade bio
should i take june 7th or october?
sorry to op :[

You can always retake... x3

to pressure
i took my test in october and only got a 700 so i think you should wait if you are taking ap bio or if you have to, take it in june because you will forgot many things over the summer unless you study during (and i hate to study during vacation, dunno about you)
to op, us history was pretty easy and for the 3rd one, i think world history would be the best

@pressure: no problem. June 7th seems like your best option. Why take it in October when you forget everything over the summer? Also, junior year is usually the busiest and hardest year in high school, so if you take it now, itll lighten your load in 11th grade.
so physics seems like a (not as good) choice. i think im going to go with math ii, english, and world history. although us vs world is still a question.

are you taking AP bio this year? if you are you should take it this year. i had bad timing on mine, so i couldn't really remember some of the stuff. i still managed to pull off a 730, but it was considerably more difficult than it should have been for me.

im in 9th grade bio
im probably doing october since i just tried a diagnostic and like 5 of the terms never popped up in class or academy

Take U.S. and Math 2 for sure. They are not difficult. The rule of thumb for SAT 2s is basically if you've taken the AP class/test take the same SAT 2.
Math 2 has a ridiculous curve, I left like 4 blank and still got an 800.
U.S. History isn't particularly hard. Take practice tests though. The science ones I've taken (bio and chem) are retardedly easy, especially chem. I can't speak for physics however.

it sounds like you have passion for world history and you've been keeping up with it, i'd recommend you take it then

USH = easy !
I heard physics is always hard, but it has a nice curve.
Chem is easy, if you remember some chem. I took it after a year and a half since my last chemistry class, studied for about a few weeks, and got >750.

Take at least US History, that was so easy  I took Chem and Math as well, but those weren't anywhere near as easy.
Edit: Oh, and sparknotes has some pretty good guides for each subject test.
