<p>I signed up for math II, chemistry, and US History for June 7.</p>
<p>I haven't studied for any yet but I am not worried about math at all and will probably only need a solid 5 hour block of review. </p>
<p>Chemistry and history- i will probably need a lot more review- I'm guessing about 30+ hours each (I have 1.5 weeks) Of course, I'm in the classes and studying for the exams in these right now so it's not like I'm neglecting the subject by any means. I'm wondering if I should try to study them both or if I should just take math and chem. </p>
<p>I have already taken math I and got 760. I will be applying to top schools, some (few) of which require three SAT IIs. I will be going for finance/economics and maybe a minor in engineering and/or geology and/or geophysics, and also wish to study french a little (taking french w/listening SAT II in november). </p>
<p>I took apush this year but didn't do that well (B+), I'm guessing a 4 on the exam. It is for some reason or another kind of difficult for me. I took chemistry accel this year and would probably need a lot of reveiw for the SAT II but pretty much need to take it, I think. </p>
<p>Also if my three SAT IIs (which are required for some schools) are Math I, Math II, and Chem (this being before I do french), is that acceptable?</p>
<p>So I'm wondering if people have advice as to whether or not I should take all three of the tests or if I should cut it down to 2 (which two)? Because I could probably do better on 2 (might be like 800, 750) than I could on 3 (might be like 770, 720, 670) with the extra time gained from cutting one out.</p>
<p>Here's what I suggest, although I'm not sure it's legal.</p>
<p>Study the two that you're more confident in. When you go into the test however, be prepared to take all three. Now you take the first two the way you normally would, then keep the third sheet blank. Don't even fill in the test name and code on that sheet.</p>
<p>Now do the third test, except mark the answers ONLY on your test booklet, not in the answer booklet. Then at the end, after you're done (make sure you have a good 10 minutes left), if you feel confident that you got a decent score, fill in the test number and your answers FAST. If not, just leave without making a mark on the third sheet, and it should only count as two tests.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure that if you leave pencil marks on the third sheet and then erase them later, ETS will cancel all of your scores though.</p>
<p>Don't think what qhausqkqh suggested would work/be "legal." They'll probably assume you spent the 3rd hour working on one of the first two tests, and you could risk having all your scores cancelled.</p>
<p>Also Math I and Math II won't count as 2 separate subject scores; colleges will only take one score of the two.</p>
<p>yeah for qhausqkqh's suggestion, it's a good idea but sounds pretty risky, plus i don't think i could get away with it in the time allotted because I doubt I would have 10 extra minutes on a 60 minute test. </p>
<p>But do you think I should try to take all three of the tests or only two? I am looking to study: some kind of physical science, finance/economics, and french. So I don't know if I should kill myself doing the history one. But at the same time, if I can do ok, why not right? The thing is, I might be on the lines where it probably won't help me much, I might get high 600's or low 700's. </p>
<p>If applying early action, will colleges that require three tests understand that I am taking French with listening in november and be ok with it? Or should i do the history just from a requirements standpoint?</p>
<p>i dont know, but if you finish the test you are signed up to take before time is called (i finish Biology in about 25 minutes), then you can peek into the other sections.
but don't take my advice. lol</p>
<p>take 2... focus on them as much as you can and take the last one, preferably the hardest or the one your less prepared for in November. That way you have more time to study for the one you are less prepared for</p>
