One more time?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>Call me crazy but I am thinking about taking the SAT Subject Tests one more time in the January sitting, though hopefully someone here can talk me out of it.</p>

<p>My scores are (only need 2 tests though):</p>

<p>Math IIC - 800
Biology M-690
Chemistry - 690
US History - 610</p>

<p>I'm applying to Ivy-caliber schools and am seeking a degree in some sort of science.</p>

<p>I'm planning on retaking Chemistry(3rd time!) and Biology M(4th Bio test, 3rd of the Molecular type!).</p>

<p>Should I go ahead and take these tests in hopes of improvement (hopefully 750+) or is it too late in the process/look bad?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Your scores are weak. Do it.</p>

3

<p>Thanks for the response. I'll keep reviewing then.</p>

<p>Errr...yeah. Feel free to retake, but don't just "hope" for improvement. Stuuudddy. Studystudystudy. Oh, and if you only need two tests total, why not just focus on acing one (of chem and bio)?</p>

<p>I was originally studying for Chemistry since I thought I would have the best chance at a good score for that one. Since I am taking AP Bio and finals are right before the SAT day, I figured I would just take that one too since I'd be studying for it anyways (and in case the Chem one is insanely difficult that day).</p>

<p>Don't take bio/chem again. You've shown that you simply can't break the 700 score. Retake just the US History</p>

7

<p>If he's improved every single time, then there's no reason not to give it another whirl.</p>

8

<p>The reason why I'm not taking US History again despite the (relatively) atrocious score, is that I never took AP US History and I only took the first one because I thought that pre-Reconstruction material would be pretty light and I thought I could self study that section.</p>

9

<p>^yeah, but every single time improvement over 3 tests, and still 690... that's saying something.</p>

<p>To the OP: Retake Bio, since you're taking the AP course (I didnt read this before :(), but definitely not Chem</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice everyone. I'll focus on acing the Biology test. AP Bio will really help me with some of the detail memorization.</p>
