<p>DD needs 2 tests. Will take American History for first. For second, either Lit or Math.</p>
<p>She is better in humanities, but was in regular English class. Also just completed AB Calc, likely 5.</p>
<p>She has done nothing for Subject tests. Was hoping to complete so she could go early decision next year and wants to retake SAT in October. Today is last day for subject test signup. Test in 2 weeks.</p>
<p>What should she do?</p>
<p>Well, Math needs some prep, I think, so I wouldn’t do that one with less than two weeks to go.</p>
<p>Try out a practice test and see how she does.</p>
<p>math doesn’t need any prep. honestly I would probably go for math if she just took AB. The test goes through precalc.</p>
<p>This isn’t true either. There are some very mathematically talented people I know who took the math first time and got a 650, and a whole bunch more that are not mathematically talented but got an 800 with preparation. </p>
<p>The time limitations force you to work fast, meaning that careless errors increase.</p>
<p>The math might be easier, but it does require some work.</p>
<p>@mrnephew i took it without prep in precalc and got a 760. Most people don’t need prep.</p>
<p>I agree that it doesn’t take as much prep as some tests, but it does require some practice tests to get used to the time limits and so on. A lot of the answers are similar and represent ones that occur when you go off in a different direction, so there’s a lot of traps there. </p>
<p>And the OP did state that the D was better in Humanities. That’s what I was basing my statement off of.</p>
<p>If she has taken the AP calc exam and the SAT reasoning already. She should be used to the time constraint. I never did a practice test. Granted it wouldn’t hurt for her to take a practice test, but that’s really all that needs to be done, just to get used to the format.</p>
