<p>I just recieved my SAT I scores for the new SAT today (a little late for my liking) and I want to retake the test (I got a 2150, which isn't that bad, but my math score was incredibley low-620 Ack!), however, I also need to take SAT II subject tests. Both are being offered on June 4th; however, I can't take both on the same day. I'd like to know which I should take on June 4th. The next testing date after that is October 8th. </p>
<p>Here's the info I have so far. I don't know which SAT subject tests I should take yet (but the website says I can change which up to the date of the test) Also, I should probably take the SAT II's when the information is fresh in my mind. </p>
<p>Also, could anyone tell me about the literature, U.S. History and German SAT II's? I've heard that the U.S. History one is easier than the A.P. Test, which I am taking May 6th (and my teacher keeps assuring me that I'll get a 5). I've also heard that the language ones are probably harder than their respective A.P. tests and are like the English writing tests, except in their respective languages (ouch!). I haven't heard anything about the English literature one. </p>
<p>Ooh, and I might as well throw it in: How in the world can I improve my math score on the SAT I? Will lots of prepwork help? All I did for preperation last time was take one practice test- but I have so much other stuff to do. X_x</p>
<p>If you read this whole thing, thanks so much! I hope you can help.</p>
<p>If you are at a 620, I would suggest PR for math prep. I had a 650 on the PSAT, and went to a 740 on the SAT using them. While their methods seems sort of juvenille, they do work.</p>
<p>Thanks for replying and congrats on your score improvement! Though I'm horrible at math, I can see that those are very convincing statistics. :D</p>
<p>Oh, and another question for everyone:
Is it really necessary to take any courses to prepare for the SAT II's? I mean, I'm sure I could study for the World History one on my own. I've taken 2 half year world history courses (one last year and one the year before) and I could pick up a prep book or two. But would it look bad taking two history ones?</p>
<p>i have heard that the literature sat 2 is harder than the sat 1 and easier than AP english (the test is reading comprehension of literature, not knowledge of literature.)
so by AP english i mean lang and comp, not lit and comp</p>
<p>sat 2 history is very different from APUSH. It seems like you have to study a sat2 book to get over 700 in it. My sister got 4 on her AP but did not take the sat 2 because she wasn't familiar with some of the questions.</p>
<p>im in the same situation. on the one hand u have more time to study for SAT II over summer, which would be more productive than sat I studying. For sat u usually hit a wall and it takes tons of work to get past, while for sat II its more factual and if u know all the facts/tricks then u could get 800.</p>
