<p>Hello! :) I am a junior.. for one more week that is. :(</p>
<p>I'm in a bit of a time crunch with my big tests. Please tell me if you think this plan is ok?</p>
<p>SAT I:
I have taken this in December and achieved a score of 2020. I am taking it again tomorrow, but unfortunately, finals and AP testing have distracted me. I'm completely unprepared and may even score lower! :(</p>
<p>SAT II:
I plan to take this in October.
Even though I am a junior I have completed ZERO subject tests... I know horrible!! It stresses me just thinking about it!
I want to take Biology, Chemistry, and Math I in October. I want straight 800s, or 750s at least! I will study all summer.</p>
<p>ACT:
I plan to take this September. I want at least a 33... 36 if I can hit that!</p>
<p>OK, so here's the thing... I initially wanted at least 2200 on my SAT. However, I only have tomorrow left and I don't think I'm going to make it. The application for the prepharmacy program I apply for is November 15, so I need all my tests done by then!
My subject tests are an absolute must.
The ACT is sort of the make up for my impending SAT score. Since I don't think I'll do as well as I'd like on my SAT, I decided to dedicate a very high score to ACT instead.</p>
<p>What do you think? Should I reject taking the ACT? Should I take SAT I instead of the SAT subject tests?</p>
<p>For the record, my priority is University of the Pacific. I know, their standards are not as high as I am working for (avg SAT combined math and verbal is 1161 and avg ACT is 23), but I want to try my very best!! Plus with the economy down so low, many acceptance rates are dropping immensely! I really want to get into UoP :(</p>
<p>Take the ACT on June 13 if you can. You might find that you like it better than the SAT, and you can be done with the whole process. My D liked it much better, and decided not to retake the SAT. You’re already in testing mode, right, so you’re ready to go? (U of P might require subject tests in addition to ACT, but I seriously doubt it). I think the ACT is also offered in September, if you want to defer. But IMO, there’s huge benefit to just getting started on it this month!</p>
<p>Thanks for the response! But I need a lot of prep to score well on big tests. I need to complete a lot of workbooks before I get that ambitious score on the ACT, and right now I just started considering taking it! So I can’t take it June 13. Like I said, I’m taking it in September. </p>
<p>If you only submit ACT scores are subject SAT required? I don’t know… I think I’m going to submit scores from all three tests though!</p>
<p>So I want to take those exact same tests. Cool. I kind of want to self study trig over summer so I can do pre-cal AND do Math II (which I hear is more striaght forward and has a better curve)</p>
<p>I like the plan. I think since the ACT has the worst time constraints I like the SAT better. Just make sure to take a practice test. 30 reading questions in 30 minutes… (though the passages are simpler)</p>
<p>Ahh yeaaa lets do well on those tests together!
I don’t think I have room for Math II, seeing as my pharmacy thingie is due Nov 15. Do you think I should switch Biology for Math II?</p>
<p>Thanks for your advice! </p>
<p>anyone else? hahahaa :T I’m just nervous about this whole thing and I want to make sure it’s an OK thing to do lol ;_;</p>
