<p>I didn’t know anything about the sat subject tests till 2 yrs after 9th grade biology. I’m taking ap bio next year in 12th grade, but I won’t be able to take the whole course before I take the biology subject test and send results to colleges. So how do I prepare for it so I can get a good score? And when would you suggest would be the best time to take it?</p>
<p>First, there are two Bio SAT 2 tests, and they are somewhat correlated to the two semesters of AP Bio. You should take the SAT 2 that is covered by your first semester of AP Bio, and self-study the rest of the material if you don’t finish it all. And assuming you are not applying early to a school that needs this test, you could take it as late as December or maybe even January (depending on the schools) and still have the score get to them.</p>

<p>That’s same situation I’m in. I took my AP bio as junior this year, will be taking the SAT II probably in June. However, I can’t take Chem nor Math because I won’t take the AP courses until next year. I am taking grade 12 math right now though. My question is whether I should take just the SAT II for bio and wait till December next year for another SAT II’s. Or should I try the math and bio both this june?</p>
<p>I’m afraid that if I wait till December it may be too late for admissions or I might do poorly and have no chance to improve.</p>
<p>The Math Sat 2 only goes through pre-calc, though it also has probabilities and stats in it, which you should study. But if you can prep enough for it, you can take it both together.</p>
