<p>ur obviously a junior</p>
<p>study up for SAT I in march
(or take a chill pill and do nothing, thats what i did :D)</p>
<p>but seriously you should study for the SAT I, i only didnt cus i already knew most of the stuff but just messed up due to bad time management</p>
<p>then come june, you’ll have finished ur chem/precalc courses and it’ll be fresh
you can take them both in june</p>
<p>depending on how you do on the SAT I, you may choose to take it in may again</p>
<p>thats 4 months of preparation! in contrast with the 2 weeks that i allocated for myself :(</p>
<p>then, if by chance you mess up on the june SAT IIs (which is kinda hard to do on chem and math I) but if u do, retake it in Oct :D</p>
<p>of course, if you mess up on both the march and may SAT Is, you’ll have to decide which is more important to you to patch up in Oct</p>
<p>from someone who has done all 3, i’ll tell you my experiences
dont follow me cus i screwed myself over</p>
<p>i would rank them as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>700+ Chem</li>
<li>750+ II</li>
<li>2000+ SAT I</li>
</ol>
<p>Chem was the devil; i was one year removed and had to review like CRAZY for like 3 weeks in june–i had to learn all the properties of metals like malleability or some woog boog like that</p>
<p>also, i would argue that the lab questions on the chem SAT II are on par with the AP or otherwise slightly easier(but only slightly)</p>
<p>you have to know how to collect some woog boog over some other woog boog, using this kind of apparatus but keeping CaCl2 constant in a oxygen coated tube
that was a nightmare, to say the least</p>
<p>Math II- i could see how 750+ would be a challenge to someone but i swear im telling the truth when i say that i literally prepared for like 2 hours on the thursday before the test in November, screwed around and ended up with a 780 (blast me for not getting 800)</p>
<p>i knew like nothing about standard deviations, parametrics and conic sections; i read up on the barons for about 2 hours, like i said, still got the only standard deviation question on the test wrong but it is not THAT much harder than the Math I</p>
<p>2000+: 670s across the board will get you by just fine; just review like the 15 basic grammar rules in kaplan (i havent taken a look at that thing, it may have changed)
and u can get 670 in writing by sleeping for the first 10 minutes of the 35 min section</p>
<p>math, i really only had trouble with counting and how many numbers are inbetween -4302890 and 434343
but math isnt too hard</p>
<p>critical reading is a ***** though; u’d have to do some heavy duty hard memorization of vocab</p>
<p>u cant really study for the reading comprehension, per se, but some questions are just obvious and some questions just like to have 2 equally appealing answers :(</p>
<p>it comes with practice, which im sure 2+ months of prep can and will afford</p>
Remember the one where it said that this angle was bisected, and then there was a horizontal line? For that one, I got that 180-40 = 140… actually I don’t really know if it was 140 anymore since my memory’s so pitifully poor, but I DO know that the equation was supposed to be 180-something = answer…</p>
