My Subject SATs

<p>I am a freshman and I plan on taking these subject tests and my predicted scores</p>

<p>World History: 750+
US History: 750+
Math 2: 780+
Physics: 780+</p>

<p>Are these scores plausible?</p>

<p>I plan on taking these tests for sure. I am still tentative about taking a Chemistry Subject Test because I am not going to take AP Chemistry. Do you all think I can still get a 720+ if I don't take its respective AP class?</p>

<p>I don’t honestly understand how you can make predictions at this stage. :P</p>

<p>Dude, 5 Subject tests are way too much. Two or three is usually a good number. Four is pushing it. To prepare for five, one might just go insane.</p>

<p>I can take 3-4 but they will mostly be science-math oriented. I want to show the colleges I am well rounded, so that’s why I am taking 5.</p>

<p>You’re a freshman. How the hell is anybody supposed to know?</p>

<p>Um… Okay, you’re probably a genius, and I give kudos to your confidence, but my gosh those are a lot of tests. The teacher who’ll advise you will probably get tired of supervising you. Usually, students only take 2 SAT subjects, and by the third, half of the students leave, and by the fourth you’ll probably be the last one there and your supervisor will be gritting their teeth wishing some other person could take their place. But hey, it’s your tests who cares what others think. Do your best! I wish you do well.</p>

<p>Eh, I don’t really get why taking 4+ is impossible. If you’re taking the corresponding AP class and you’re set for a 5, take the Subject Test. This would leave you with enough Subjects to send in. Don’t waste time studying for other Subjects, use that time studying for the reasoning test or math/science Olympiads if you’re into that stuff.</p>

<p>PS. It’s not impossible. There’s people who could probably get straight 800’s on nearly all the tests. Getting a couple good grades won’t make you stand out. If you want a solid chance just try to get 800’s on two, any more won’t add anytjing else.</p>

<p>PSS. ^ you can only take 3 at a time. OP would have to take them in a least two different dates.</p>

<p>I don’t get this thread…but yes it’s possible</p>

<p>grav123,
As a freshman, regardless of your intelligence and drive, this is probably too much. You can only take 3 subject tests maximum on each testing date, and most colleges only require 2-3 (if any). Considering you have the drive to take these tests you’ve probably researched them, but just in case…</p>

<p>World History (which I haven’t taken) is stereotypically easier than US History, probably doable if you take some sort of WH course.</p>

<p>US History is supposedly more difficult, but the SAT II is easier than the AP exam. I’d hold off on this one, since APUSH is the most common AP exam, you might have the chance to take it. It’s more respected, and typically done in the sophomore or junior year.</p>

<p>Math II includes material from Algebra I to Pre-calculus (that means Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-calc). I don’t know any freshmen that are that advanced in math, but if you are, go for it. If you simply haven’t had enough math classes, you could take Math I, which only goes up to Algebra II.</p>

<p>Physics…don’t really know anything about it. I’m assuming your freshman science class is some sort of intro to physical science? Mine wasn’t, but that seems to be pretty typical. I don’t know how well that would prepare you for the physics exam, but if you feel confident I say do it!</p>

<p>I hope this helps! I don’t have a ton of experience with SAT IIs, but this is what I know. It’s difficult to predict your scores at this point, but you know what they say––visualizing your success helps you be successful! I think it’s great that you’re so ambitious! Once the school year starts I’d talk to your teachers about these plans and see what they think. They’ll probably tell you to hold off on some of them.
You have your whole high school experience ahead of you. For some of these it might be best to wait until you’ve gained more high school knowledge. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>^Wow thanks that helped me I helped it opened the OP to</p>

<p>I plan on taking the SAT II tests during 11th and 12th. These are only the tests I consider taking. Thanks everyone! I won’t take the US History, probably.</p>

<p>Haha predict? Sounds like me. I’m a freshman too & I also predicted that I’d get a 2000+ on my SAT. But unfortunately, as for right now… I scored a 1400 D: </p>

<p>STUDYING LIKE A MAD WOMAN!!! lol</p>

<p>Lol I remember being a freshman…“predict” lol</p>
