<p>I know I'm taking math II because it's my strength. What about math I. Would that be a waste of time or would it be good to add one more high score to my resume. Besides that I've got three options: Chem, Bio, and American Hist
The problem with chem is that I won't take AP chem II until next year as a senior. Will I have learned everything I need to know?
The problem with Bio is that my bio class doesn't cover all the material that's test on the subject test and ap test. Basically, my bio class kinda sucks. I'll have to do quite a bit of studying on my own.
American Hist: very tough class, but learning a lot, so I'll be prepared to take any kind of test over americ hist. However, I want to apply to a BS/MD program in medicine, so should taking a science-related exam be more appropriate? Does it matter which subjects I choose?
The colleges I'm interested in: Case Western, Wash U in St. Louis-- don't even require subject tests. Should I still take them and hw many?</p>
<p>This is very similar to a thread I started, albeit I am interested in business rather than premed. You might be surprised, check out this site: <a href="http://www.compassprep.com/admissions_req_subjects.aspx%5B/url%5D">http://www.compassprep.com/admissions_req_subjects.aspx</a> . According to it, WUSTL "recommends" SAT Subject Tests, which means if you don;t have them they might be wondering why you didn't take them. Even at Case Western, or other colleges that don't "require" SAT Subject Tests, for that matter, use them for placement or, perhaps, a tipping factor in admissions. I say go for it. For math, if you take Math II, there is no need to take Math I. It is assumed that you know the Math I stuff if you can do Math II. If you take Math I and not Math II, and you are in an upper-level math, the college will wonder if you slacked off or something. Science tests, I'm not so sure. 2 schools on my list (Cornell and CMU) "strongly recommend" science SAT subject tests for their undergrad business programs, why I don't know. I will try to self study biology or chemistry (I'll ask my teacher what to take, if I do in fact need a science SAT subject test). US History, I might take the Subject test for it (no college on my list needs more than 2) if my science doesn't come back well. Best of Luck.</p>
<p>DON'T TAKE BOTH MATH LEVEL I AND MATH LEVEL II. Take one or the other - in this case, level II. I would recommend you take Biology and Chemistry.</p>
<p>Biology is easy I took it in December having only covered about 20 chapters out of fifty in the book and I got a 700. (Took molecular portion).</p>
<p>copefan: thanx for the website- great help!
Armando: I'll probably take molecular too. Good to know it's easy.</p>
<p>Just take as much as you can. lol.
What've you got to lose.</p>
