I took regular biology class sophomore year, and earned a B+ – and in my senior year, I plan to take AP biology. I missed out on the opportunity to take the SAT subject test the June of sophomore year, and I cancelled my score when I took it January of this year. I plan to take retake it in October of my senior year (coming up).
Question:
Will taking the SAT biology in October (a month into my AP) look stupid on my application? Assuming I do very well (after prepping over the summer), wouldn’t it tell the colleges that I already have a firm grasp on the biology material and that I’m simply taking the AP biology for an easy A? Obviously, this isn’t my true intentions, and would avoid doing so if it implies the said idea.
What do you guys think?
