Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>Hey im a senior applying to ivys and other top schools. </p>

<p>Right now I have a sat 2 USH-790 and a math IIC - 650. I am retaking math IIC in december. However, I plan to be a chemistry major, and am currently taking AP chemistry. </p>

<p>Some schools say Dec will be the last acceptable testing, and then say January might be too late for consideration and would put the applicant at a disadvantage. However, some schools say January is okay, and there will be no disadvantage. </p>

<p>The only school i am applying to that needs 3 sat II's is princeton. I already have an act (33) with writing (10). Is it that important to take chem sat II because i plan to be a chem major? </p>

<p>Also, lets say I took math IIc in dec, got a good score, sent my scores in (costing $ of course) and then took chem in January. I would have to resend all my scores meaning a lot of pesos. Point again being, is taking chem worth it?</p>

<p>Thanks for the responses, sorry for the crappy writing.</p>

<p>take chem in december. i doubt you will do well on math II since you already got a 650 on it which is basically the 50th percentile(not exactly what princeton expects)</p>

<p>A friend of mine took the math 2 three times and her scores were:
630, 670, and 800. So, you can definitely improve; don't listen to ChoklitRain.</p>

<p>i'm not saying it's impossible to improve. i'm just saying that he only has one more chance to test and perhaps should focus on a subject that he is stronger in. math2 would be more of a gamble.</p>

<p>I am pretty strong in math, Im in BC calc, the reason i got a 650 is because i came in late to the testing due to long bathroom lines and an inept proctor.</p>

<p>Just go through Barron's Math Level 2, and you're all set for a 750+.</p>
