<p>Is it possible to take 2 subject tests in one sitting? If so, which ones? I'm planning to take them in November. I want to take Bio M, and in addition either Math 1 or Math 2. I understand Math 2 is preferred over Math 1, but I'm not 100 percent sure which of two I'm going to take. I'm an incoming senior, and I'm planning to apply as a pre-med (bio) student.</p>
<p>Take Math II, if schools require subject tests they like Math II.
You can take up to 3 subject tests at one sitting.</p>
<p>Math II covers additional material to that in Math I but it offers a considerably more generous grading curve while Math I is harsher. If possible, I suggest you take Math II.</p>
<p>Thanks, I’m definitely leaning towards math 2, but how will I be able to take two subject tests in one sitting? Do I take all three at one test location? Can someone please explain? I’m new to the subject test process haha. I made the mistake of not taking subject tests earlier like freshman, sophomore, and junior years haha.</p>
<p>D took 3 one day (Math II, Lit, AmHist). Was fine, but tiring. Students could leave after 1 or 2 if they were done.</p>
<p>Yes, you take them all in one test location. They’re short, so it’s not that horrible, even if you take 3.</p>
<p>Each subject test only lasts one hour. You’re there for three hours. Voila! Three subject tests. Not everyone in the room is going to be taking the same subject test. You get a booklet with all the tests in it and you turn to the one you’re taking. After you get done with the first one, you take the second one. Then the third one. I think you also choose the order in which you want to take them. </p>
<p>Personally, I wouldn’t take three in one sitting - that’s just a formula for burnout. I took two tests twice. Math 2 and Chem the first time and Math 2 and Bio M the second time.</p>
<p>I took two subject tests, could’ve taken three but the schools I was applying to only required Math II and a science test. Three is definitely feasible though.</p>
<p>The schools that I’m looking at require two subject tests lol. @rspence I see you’re going to MIT, congrats! I may apply to MIT even though it’s quite a reach. Does anyone know which books I should get for Bio M and Math II? I’d like someone who has scored 750-800 to answer. Sorry, I’m not trying to be mean or anything.</p>
<p>Didn’t prepare for math II, and I took the physics test. Sorry I can’t help :(</p>
<p>Ah I see. I was thinking about taking the Chemistry subject test, but I haven’t taken AP Chemistry as my school does not have the course, so I’m not sure how well I’d do. My school only offers honors Chemistry, which doesn’t seem to delve into more advanced topics in Chemistry. Is the physics test very difficult? My school only offers regular physics, which is both a senior class, and a very basic level of physics that is taught by a honors teacher.</p>
<p>Physics test isn’t that difficult…if you take it just make sure you’re familiar with topics from both mechanics and E/M…I only went in with AP Physics C - mechanics knowledge.</p>
<p>Yeah, just take the subject tests you want at your test center. Your proctor will ask who’s taking 1, 2, or 3 subject tests. If you only signed up for one online but take two, CB will charge you for the extra test after it gets put into the system (you don’t have to do anything).</p>
<p>@Aquawater98 thank you!</p>
<p>Something else no one has mentioned yet: if you register for specific subjects but change your mind in between then and test day, you can just take a different test (provided you don’t take more than the number you registered for).</p>
<p>So let’s say you registered for the Chem test, but then did more research and realized you’d be better off taking Physics - just open to the Physics section on test day. :)</p>
<p>(those of you with more experience: feel free to correct me if I’m wrong…)</p>
<p>I used the “Cracking the…” book for Math 2, and got an 800. It has good summaries of all the info you need to know. You probably have learned all the stuff in the book, but it’s helpful to refresh, and I thought that book did a good job of explaining concepts in the fewest words possible. I read through the whole book (over the course of a few days).</p>
<p>allshewrote, you are correct.</p>
