Please help me on scheduling SAT IIs: i'm a desperate junior!

<p>Hi, i’m a junior who’s going to take SAT II

  1. chemistry
  2. biology-M
  3. Math IIC</p>

<p>I already took biology-M once in november, but i got 690, and i was disappointed because i studied alot, and i was aiming for 760+. And
this is my current schedule.</p>

<p>Janurary:</p>

<li>Biology (Since i studied alot before, i believe i need to study a little
bit more).</li>
<li>Chemistry (I studied this along with biology for whole summer, and
currently taking AP chemistry at school, finished half semester.)</li>
</ol>

<p>May:</p>

<li>Chemistry (just in case if did bad in janurary)</li>
<li>Math IIC</li>
</ol>

<p>June:</p>

<li>Math IIC (just in case if did bad in May)</li>
<li>Whatever i need to retake.</li>
</ol>

<p>October/November:</p>

<li>SAT I</li>
</ol>

<p>And my consideration is, what if i just concentrate studying on
Biology for this winter and finish it off in Janurary,
and finish chemistry off in May (**Since i need to study for
AP chemistry exam by May, i believe this will definately help
me for SAT II chem also.) But if i did this way, it’s kinda risky,
if u looked at my current schedule.</p>

<p>What do you think?
I need comments from you. Thank you.</p>

<p>Have you ever taken the SAT I yet? Cause if not, holding it off until October/November seems to spell out "screwed" to me, lol. I'd suggest taking the SAT I once during your junior year, just to get a feel of the test and how much you'll be needing to study</p>

<p>And yes, I agree with you - take Chemistry in May. It's almost always best to take your SATs with whatever AP test, cause the material will be fresh in your head.. And you might as well take Math IIc in January instead. That way, if you do badly on it, you can retake it in May, allowing you to take either take the SAT I or just relax in June</p>

<p>Don't take Chem in January when you're only halfway done with AP Chemistry. Classtime is the best preparation and study for the test. Wait until May for Chem, and possibly retake in June. Study for the SAT I after biology and take it in March.</p>

<p>I already took SAT I for december one, (to see what its like), and i believe i just need to work on critical reading section (which was terribly hard). And anyways, i believe taking only biology in january and chem with AP chem exam is the best way, i guess?</p>

<p>Actually, you know, you could take some of the tests during the senior year so you're have more time to study.</p>

<p>Here's my suggestion</p>

<p>January:
Biology-M
Math IIC</p>

<p>March:
SAT I (only offers SAT I that day)</p>

<p>May:
Chemistry</p>

<p>June:
Chemistry (if needed)
Math IIC (if needed)</p>

<p>October/November:
SAT I (if needed)</p>

<p>The best time to take the Chem SAT II is right after the AP Test in May or in June. </p>

<p>Whatever you do, try not taking more than one SAT II in one day. It's better to prepare them one at a time.</p>

<p>Whoa.. I think you should cut down on the massive SAT II test taking.. but <em>shrug</em> could work for you</p>

<p>I'd only take the Chemistry one in May/June because that'd be around the AP exam time since you'll make the most of your studying time (2 birds with one stone) and you'll have actually learned a lot more (though I hear the Chem SAT II can be done with a pre-ap/honors Chem course)</p>

<p>I think if you are prepared, you can take multiple SAT IIs in one day though. btw/ what Math course are you currently taking in school?</p>

<p>yeah, I also suggest you should take SAT I at least once in your junior year.</p>
