Help my friend choose which test to take (btwn Bio, Math2c, Lit)

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>My friend needs some advice. He procastinated on studying for the SAT IIs and is taking up to 3 in November.
He is considered 1-2 of the following: Biology, Literature, and Math 2c.
He is looking for a test that would achieve a 750+ within 8 days. (He's going to study like hell almost 24/7) </p>

<p>He has a general knowledge of Biology, and it would be somewhat of a review for him. He has the SAT PR text. He currently scores around 550-600s. </p>

<p>He has the Literature Barrons book, and scored "average" the first time he took it in the book. He says he feels most comfortable with this subject, but was discouraged when he saw his score. </p>

<p>He also has the Math IIC Barrons book, but he has generally weak math skills (passed precalc with a B to a B-). After trying 1-2 chapters in the barron's book, he stopped because it was difficult to go through. He does not have much confidence in math, which is why he is considering other subjects. </p>

<p>Would you recommend Biology, Literature, or Math IIC?</p>

<p>Haha, is it "really" your friend, kyb? In any case, I recommend taking the Math IIC just because the curve is so generous, and maybe "he" should check out a TI 89 and explore that for a while.</p>

<p>if your friend passed pre-cal with a B/B- and doesn't enjoy it, don't take the IIc just because it has a nice curve. I'm in calc bc this year and i took it in june...studied the night before the test and got a 740...sounds alright but then again, the curve is generous.</p>

<p>my advice is to take IIc if u did well in precal or have taken calc.</p>
