<p>Do schools care whether you take the SATII French with or without listening or not? And is either comparatively harder than the other? Is it worth bothering to take both?</p>
<p>Along with French, I am considering Literature, Biology, Math level 2, U.S. History, and World History.</p>
<p>I will be 3 months into my semester-long AP French course, my year-long AP Biology course, and my year-long AP Literature course by the October test date, and I made a 92 in my honors Pre-calculus class two semesters ago, a 97 and a 3 on the test in AP U.S. History 3 semesters ago, and a 96 in my honors World History class 6 semesters ago. What kind of preparation will I need for each of these courses, and which are flat-out just not worth taking?</p>
<p>Thank you for your help!</p>
<p>Far from an expert, as I’ve only taken one AP World History class, but I took the AP World history course at my school (which is fairly competitive) and did very well (800, but with the curve, and near the edge, so think high 700s). I spent the night before reviewing (not recommended, lol) and i don’t think it helped much. i tried a little of both the PR and barron’s and found LOTS of mistakes and confusion but then i took the official CB test and scored an 800…I would take the official CB test as practice for all of them (or if u want to save them for after prep, just use PR or something) and then take the tests for the ones you scored best on. only take two or three. In a perfect world, you would get an 800 for all of them, and colleges would love it, but it is much better to focus on getting 700s on three of them. That will put you above average already unless applying to the ivies which may put you about average.</p>
<p>In summation, take the practice tests and see where you fall on each subject then concentrate on your best two or three. Colleges will prefer mid to high 700s on two or three tests than 600s on five or more tests, which is only slightly above average and definitely not high enough for selective colleges.</p>
<p>Ah, thank you for the help, PBailey!</p>
