AP vs Subject Test Chem/Bio

As AP and SAT II tests are coming up, I’m debated on which SAT II test to take in May. I will be taking both AP Chem and Bio (May 7 and 14) test and likely taking a Subject Test on May 5, but not sure which one.

My initial thought was to take Chem II on May 5 and then Bio II on June 2 because topics in Bio is more different from AP. But I’m also concerned that the May test dates are too close. Should I take both SAT II’s in June or will that be too much?

Any thoughts or advice on this plan would be greatly appreciated–thanks!

I would take chem in May, since there should not be that much prep involved if you are already taking the AP exam/.You can take Bio in May, if you think you will be prepared in time, or take in June, if you think you won’t.

I would also suggest you look at Subject Test recommendations for your target colleges to see if they want something other than 2 sciences.

@skieurope thanks for the advice! I will definitely check to make sure I’m not missing anything!

I’m in AP Bio right now, and I think that I will be taking the subject test exam in May. My thought process was that I would be able to study hard for both exams rather than have the possibility for forgetting some information between the AP exams in May and the subject test in June.

@potatoepotatoe yeah that makes sense but since I’m taking both chem and bio I think it’ll be too much to be studying for 4 tests!!
