Omg. I fail. Help

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>I was somehow under the impression that you are able to take both the SAT I and SAT Subject Tests in the same day. I found out today that this was incorrect. -sigh- This will be my first SAT, and I was planning on taking the math I and Us History subject tests along with it, but as I mentioned, I cannot.</p>

<p>I decided to take the sat I instead of the subject tests just so if I fail, I would have more chances to retake it. My question is though, are the SAT subject tests as hard as the AP tests? I'm not worried about Math I/II; I'm worried about US History. I studied really hard for the AP test and think I can pull off a 4/5, but if I have to wait until next October to take the subject test, I will probably forget everything. Do colleges require you to send your sat II scores ALONG with application or can you wait until later to send them.</p>

<p>And just in case I fail with the SAT, do you think a 33 composite ACT is a decent score to send to colleges? I'm a junior by the way.</p>

<p>I hope I made sense. I'm just frustrated at my stupidity.</p>

<p>The SAT II tests are easier than the AP tests, generally speaking. The SAT curve, therefore, is much less forgiving than an AP curve. </p>

<p>A 33 ACT is a pretty strong score. That would be more than decent.</p>

<p>I won't be "penalized" by only providing an ACT score to colleges, will I? I'm hoping to apply to NYU or Columbia as my reaches. I don't know much about the northeast since I'm southern. If need be, I'm almost positive I can raise my ACT score higher since I only took a practice test in preparation.</p>

<p>Yes, raise your ACT score. It never hurts to have a higher score. Ever.</p>
