hey ive been thinking about particular exams that could help me apply at colleges in the states. i'm not a math or scientifically-inclined individual, and more of a humanties person. i'm an excellent writer and artist, so i'm wondering if there is an exam out there that only exams you on humanities or english etc. and good scores from that help u be accepted in college in the U.S. please help! i'm so desperate, going through alot of stress..
by the way, i havent taken up math or science for the passed year because ive been transfered to another school abroad where they offered A-Levels where u can choose ur subjects and i did drama, english literature and language, art and business studies. and so ive been taking entrance exams lately, and math sections come up so regulary and of course it killed me. hopefully my english skills made up for it as there were essays to be done and reading comprehension etc. :) |

I don't know any specific exams, but maybe you can look into colleges that are mostly based on humanities. Then you can check the college catalogs to see which exams those colleges require.

No, I don't think there is a test just on certain subjects, however, if you are going into an art college, they give you an art test to test your abilities. However, if you get a high score on your test, and you want to go into sciences or something, and you got a low score on the science part, they will look at that. They look at indiviudal sections. So, yeah, if you do really well on one and not another, they'll know, and not just reject you because of a low score because of one section
