<p>Well, I'm planning on taking three subject tests in june (Math II, Physics, and maybe Literature) and I was wondering how I should prepare for them. Should I study for all three of them at once for like a month or so, or should I alternate between the three over a span of two months.</p>
<p>If anyone has any advice, I'd really appreciate it.</p>
<p>If I were you I would have taken maybe MathII and Physics one day, then Lit another day. But if you really just want to take them all at once, then I would say studying for everything at the same time. Maybe alternating like MathII one day, Physics the next, and Lit the day after that - but NOT MathII for a WEEK, Phys the week after that, and then lit.</p>
<p>Also try getting through the entire study guide book. It’s pretty much all in there…</p>
<p>I think the best thing that you can do is the practice tests. I would set aside the 2 Saturday mornings before the exam and take your practice tests. And since you’ll be taking 3 on the real day, take all three on the practice days. Then go over them and see what you did wrong. (And don’t worry if your scores are a little lower than you like because I’m pretty sure those practice tests are a little harder than the real thing.)</p>
<p>If you’re good at math I think you can get an 800 just by studying. Also they don’t clear your calculators (I don’t think so… you should ask) so that could be an advantage - though just memorizing things works better since you have a time restraint. I got a 730 on my MathII but I just “studied” for an hour the night before because I got busy and lazy.</p>
<p>Also, do you happen to be studying for AP exams about now? That may help in supplementing your Subject Test studies. For example, AP Physics B is really similar to SAT Physics. I’d really recommend working through the prep books. I recommend Barron’s for math and for physics, although I don’t know much about lit. For me, I would start studying something, then when I get bored study something else. The whole idea of forcing yourself to one subject for a week and then switch doesn’t seem to appealing. I think it might be more fun if you just track your progress concurrently in all three without so much restraint and structure. educatemeplease’s advice on scheduling practice tests is good IMO.</p>
