<p>Well, from now on out: take EVERY opportunity your school gives you… Colleges don’t really care about how many EC’s you have, they care more about how well you use the resources given to you… So any competition, award, etc… DO IT! </p>
<p>Secondly, about the SAT: find a book YOU like… I found that although Barron’s may be best for whatever subject test or whatever, I may not personally like it myself… So find a book brand you like and stick with it for the most part. Personally, I LOVE Princeton review, but I can tolerate some Barron’s books… (like the AP bio one, but I hate the SAT and AP chemistry ones) look through the consolidated list of books recommended for SAT/AP’s that are stickied in the forums and try some of those… I personally am not taking the SAT, so I can’t recommend any books I liked, but if you want ACT recommendations, I will…</p>
<p>SAT subject tests ( based on my studying thus far): SAT chemistry: Barron’s is usually recommended, but I LOVED PR.
Math level 2: Barron’s
USH; since you’re taking the AP, use AMSCO or direct hits or REA to study for both at the same time… Honestly, I liked REA a lot… AMSCO was too textbooky for me…
Biology: I haven’t found one I like, but I will tell you I don’t like the Barron’s all that much… And since I’m in AP biology, I’m not too worried about finding a good SAT one either. </p>
<p>APs: study your ass off for those tests and get 5s. I already recommended a book for APUSH up there^</p>
<p>Volunteer: do it over the summer! 100 hours is a good number to start off with. </p>
<p>Alright, I think I’m done… Lol. Sorry I rambled… And sorry for any spelling/grammatical errors; I’m on my phone and it sucks to type on this thing. Lol</p>
