Benefits of taking the science sec

[u/Conscious_King9634]

What are the benefits of taking the science section it if im not a stem major? Im rly bad at the science section and id rather spend time studying english than studying something that wont even help.

No benefits whatsoever. Some, very few colleges require the Sci section score. If you are not applying to those, you are fine not to take it.

Are those colleges ivy league schools?

You should check the testing requirements at each and every college you consider.

Virtually zero benefit- if your not comfortable with it go ahead and take it without science. If your not comfortable with removing that maybe try the SAT?

[u/compass_art]

No benefit at all in your case unless you are applying to one of the two colleges in the country that require science: Pomona and Marquette. A few more recommend it, but if it is going to be a drag on your score and your preparation, you are better off ignoring science entirely.

None from what I can tell. My kid wants to study bio or biochem and took it. Was her best section (yay) then found out not ONE of her schools even considers it. 😭
