Math II or Bio/E

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>I'm signed up for three subject tests in June, but I'm unsure as to whether I want to take MathII or Biology (I'm confident in Lit and US). I'm decent at math, and I've taken the appropriate classes, however, I'm not confident in my ability to score well on a standardized test (I frequently run out of time). I haven't taken Biology since my I was a frosh, but I'm memorize facts REALLY well. I have less than two weeks left, so I need to decide right now which one I will focus on. Am I better suited for biology, even though I haven't taken it in a while? Or should I just take a lot of math practice tests? I appreciate the help! </p>

<p>BTW- I'm applying to top-tier schools, so I am shooting for a high score.</p>

<p>math yo.
Bio will be hard to recover fully in 2 weeks.</p>

3

<p>Math.</p>

<p>Bio has a lot of info for 2 weeks.</p>

4

<p>I would take a practice test for each to see where you’re at, and then decide from there.</p>

<p>Bio does have alot of memorization though.</p>

5

<p>General Bio (not AP) doesn’t adequately prepare you for the SAT 2, at least at my school anyway. Go math 2</p>

6

<p>I would avoid Bio unless you take a practice test in math which indicates that you are really not prepared to take it (most likely not the case).</p>

7

<p>in my opinion, math II does have a tough time limit, although the curve for that test is great (skip 5 or 6 and still about an 800)</p>

<p>I got 720 on biology and I was in the same boat as you…haven’t taken bio for 2 years, but I had about 4 weeks to prep =/ </p>

<p>yea…sorry that wasn’t much help</p>

<p>Part of me really wants to take Bio. Like I said, I have a REALLY good memory (sorry, I’m really not trying to brag). I’m good at math… but I like having the time to ponder and think. I’m shooting for a 700+.</p>

<p>Since you are applying to top-tier schools, it might be helpful to have an SAT II in science, math, and humanities. Consider taking your USH and Lit in June. Take Math 2 and a science in October as you don’t sound ready for either of them.</p>
