<p>oh yea...</p>
<p>Which sat II is the easiest to prep for:
Physics
Chem
OR Literature??</p>
<p>I think Chemistry is easier if you're good with Math. :]</p>
<p>I'm pretty good with math...what about physics...which tests on the smallest amount of information??? SInce I'll be taking Bio and Math 2C this fall I need a third SAT II that requires the least amount of studying..</p>
<p>Literature definently does not require the least amount of studying if you haven't read the selections that will be on the test. I'd say go for chem.</p>
<p>Physics is the best for a math-oriented person, and requires less knowledge than chem. Literature isn't really a knowledge-oriented test at all, but instead is essentially a pumped-up SAT I CR section (which, depending on your situation, may speak for itself).</p>
<p>Hmm, well, I took Chem three days before the AP Chem test and aced it, but I don't think I would recommend it to anyone who hasn't taken AP Chem before...</p>

There are a lot of negatives in the sentence... are you saying that studying for the Literature SAT II requires reading the selections in advance? :confused: How is that possible? I'm currently deciding to take Literature and IIC in October. I'll have to study a lot for IIC but I'll probably just take a few practice tests for Literature. I think I can probably squeeze another subject test in there. I am just finishing up CP (college prep) Chemistry and so I was maybe thinking of taking it. I'm doing fairly well in the class.. but I have to question the competency of my chemistry teacher. I have pretty much no problems with conversions between moles and grams and all the stoichiometric calculations and I can balance chemical equations, if they're not too hard. How much of the test is just calculations? How much of it is conceptual? I think this is probably my weaker area, mostly because my class was taught to memorize "key facts" over an actual understanding of the material. Are the questions generally straightforward or are they mostly word problems where you have to derive an equation and then solve it? Depending on how difficult the exam is (if I do take it, I'd like to get within the 700-750 range), I might opt to take it. But I don't want to study too much, maybe 3 weeks of light to medium studying tops. I realize I have a lot of questions, but if anyone could just give me the basic ideas and whether I should take it or not, I'd really appreciate it :).</p>
<p>Yeah I wanted to edit my post but it was too late. :(
Sorry for the misunderstanding, I think that's the AP Lit test and I got confused.
Everyone just ignore my stupid and misinformed post please. Thanks :)</p>
<p>Literature involves NO studying. Maybe just a review of literary terms, but you should have already learned those in your English class.</p>
<p>Yeah, you can't study for literature. So just borrow "Real SATIIs" from your library and take the lit, and your practice score will probably be a lot like your final score would be.</p>
<p>physics all the way.
Lit is definitely hard to get a good score. WEll for me at least. Depends on your preference for poems.
chem I took it, and it wasn't too bad. I took AP chem this year, so that helped a bit. But the curve is not that lenient compared to physics
Physics i think has the most lenient curve. I think 20 wrong is in the 700s range.
Just get a prep book and start studying for physics.</p>
<p>Thank you all! :)</p>
