I need some advice...

Test Preparation
1

<p>Alright, here's my situation...So far my scores are a 28 on the ACT's, 630 on SAT II Writing, 650 on SAT II Math IC, and for the third test I have tried two different subjects. Last June I took Chem and got a 500, and last saturday I took Literature, but it was really hard and I know I did really bad. I'm taking AP Bio this year, I never took APUSH, I took world history sophmore year, I'm taking physics this year, I suck at spanish (Doesn't leave me with much to take)...I was thinking because I did take chem last year I could study and it would be easier to re-learn, but I don't know. what should I take for my third test? I figure I need to get at least a 600 to get into the UC's I want to go to. </p>

<p>Basically, I need some unbiased advice on which test is nortoriously the easiet, and which one is the easiet to study for. I have until November 6, about a month, I'll do whatever it takes. Just give me some advice. What book should I use? Anything, thanks.</p>

<p>Chem is a fair shot if you've taken AP chem or its equivalent. Biology is somewhat easy to study for...especially if you're taking APBio right now. Some of that stuff on populations is definitely on there. World History is just a matter of review and probably the easiest.</p>

<p>Alright, Well, i only took regular chem last year. I'm just two months into bio and world history was a while ago...I guess I'm confused as to which one you proposed?</p>

<p>If you're really willing to study, I'd say go with World History...It's straight memorization and requires no deep understanding of any concepts. I think that if you read a couple of good review books, you would be as prepared as if you had just taken the class last year. You won't do well on the Chemistry if you've only had 1 year of general chem and biology requires more comprehension than world history. You could go to the library/bookstore and browse through sample tests...I've taken 6 subject tests, and I thought that history was the easiest because it was either you knew it or you didn't. Whatever you decide, good luck with it.</p>

<p>Ok, I'll try that, but what about US History, is that the same thing, or is it more than just memorizing stuff?</p>

6

<p>How about IIC? You can miss around 6 and still get 800.</p>

7

<p>U.S. History is also straight memorization but I thought since you'd taken World History, you might have an advantage in it.</p>

8

<p>I dunno... if he got a 650 on Math IC, then getting a much better score on IIC would be pretty difficult.</p>

<p>World History and Lit are the two with the most generous curves.</p>

<p>I can't take IIC for my third SATII for UC's. I have taken US History, last year, two years ago I took world history. Maybe my lit score will be ok with a good curve, I guess I'll find out on friday.</p>
