Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>OK, so I need to take a science sat 2, but I can't decide between chem and bio (I'll be taking next October). </p>

<p>Why I can't decide....
Chem: just finishing up an Honors Chem course (NOT AP!), did pretty well in the class but I don't find chem interesting at all, not really motivated to learn more or even look at it again after finals are over </p>

<p>Bio: took an Honors Bio course freshman year (I'm now a junior btw), and I'm going to take AP Bio next year. Remember liking it more than chem. </p>

<p>So basically, does it make sense for me to relearn a lot of bio and then be maybe better prepared for AP, or should I just take the test on something I've learned recently??</p>

<p>If you read all of that, I commend you.</p>

<p>Bio. I'm in the same situation as you. Though some people may be satisfied with a 730 their freshman year I was not. I wanted an 800. So I am retaking it. I know that I have more than what it takes to get an 800. Besides I'm planning on USABOing later. So why not?</p>

<p>Bio (10 char).</p>

<p>If you aren't willing to study Chem as much, it would be a mistake to take that test. You have to love the subject to score at the top.</p>

<p>k. anyone else?</p>

6

<p>bio. </p>

<p>know everything in Barron's and you're set for atleast a 750+.</p>

7

<p>Lies... =.= most of what the Barron's wants you to know is not on the test.</p>

8

<p>Yeah, because Barron's overprepares you till you want to cry... if you know enough extra stuff about a subject, you remember more when you get a massive brain cramp. That's my opinion on the subject, anyways, because I never study and brain farts kill me >.< "If I stare at this long enough, will it answer itself?" yeah, not a good strategy</p>

<p>If you can find the "REAL SAT IIs" book that the College Board publishes, it may help you decide. Sometimes libraries even have it. If you just sit down and take the tests you are considering, your best choice might pop out at you.</p>
