i'm not really sure which sat 2 test i should take for computer science major. i know im taking math 2c for sure, but what else should i take? im not in ap bio, chem nor physics. but i'm willing to buy a book to self study. if i self study, which books do you reccommend?

one more question… i have a decent ap us history teacher and a crappy computer science teacher. i dont feel very confident in passing either ap tests. which books do you reccomend me get in order to pass?

Out of the three sciences, you should definitely take the physics SAT II. Every engineer or Comp Sci major will have to take at least 2 physics courses their freshman year. Many engineering schools (like mine) also require everyone to take a semester of chemistry, so I would say that should be your second choice for SAT IIs. Pretty much all good engineering schools require at least 1 math and 1 science exam. Take one extra in any subject that you feel confidant about, just in case they require three. Good luck with your tests!

The barrons SAT books are very good. I would concentrate on the computer science exam primarily, since having a good foundation in what you would like to major in is more important than getting out of a history class in college.
