<p>I'm going to take both of them in June . On the same day, should I or should I not?</p>
<p>What is the difficulty of the SAT II in Chemistry?? Does it contain College/AP level Chemistry?? How many hours did you study for it?</p>
<p>What was the overall grade do got on the World History? How many hours did you study for it?</p>
<p>I took the Chem after a second year AP Chem course. I would strongly recommend the barrons prep book for the Chem SAT. It is slightly harder than the real thing, but the format and types of questions are very accurate. You will be very prepared if you know that book inside and out. I averaged about 670-700 on the barrons pre-tests, but I got a 750 on the real thing. I took all 3 of my SAT II on separate days (May, June, October), and it worked out very well because I could just focus on one at a time, but if you are finishing those two course now, I would take them while its fresh on your mind. My SAT II that was in Oct was math II, so the material was still fresh from my senior year math class. What courses are you taking in those two subjects right now?</p>
<p>If you took your subject Tests May, June and October, then you must have finished your SAT very early in your junior year . Probably October and January?</p>
<p>I am planning on taking 3 subject tests in June ie Chemistry, US History and Math2C. I wish I could spread them out but I don't see any other way since I have to do my SAT in May. And probably leave October of my senior year for any retakes be it SAT or 1 of the subject tests. So wish me luck.</p>
<p>foggy,
I took the SAT I in March because I had to wait for the new version, then spread out the SAT II, and then retook SAT I in November. I also took the ACT in June and September. I realize the way I did it really leaves no room for a third retake or if you havent taken the SAT I yet then you probably wouldn't want to do that. However, last year the US History AP Test was the day before the May SAT date, so I took the SAT II for it the next day. It was a very good move because I don't think I could have taken a whole SAT I during AP week, and some questions were the same between the tests and the I was knocking out two exams in one study period. Best of Luck in whatever you decide.</p>
<p>Gandalf, is the November SAT1 that you took in November in time for Early Admissions?
I took my SAT yesterday. If it is good enough, I guess I will be taking the USHistory Subject Test in May since it the very next day after the AP USHistory. And then take 2 Subject Tests in June. Leaving October for SAT1 retake. Isn't October the last date for any SATs to be in time for Early Admissions?</p>
<p>I'm taking both Chemistry and World History this year as a Sophomore and I want to take the SAT IIs in June while the material is fresh in my head.</p>
<p>So, how long did you it take you to finish the whole test for Chemistry and/or World/US History? Did you have time to look back at your answers?</p>
<p>Foggy,
I believe November SAT I is okay for most schools. It would be best to check your early school's website or call them up and ask since it does vary from school to school.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm in the same boat (as kidnovelist). However, I'm using the PR for chem and I think that most of the stuff in the book is how it's taught in class. I'm just planning to read the review book, look back chem notes, and take 4-5 practice tests. For world history, though, I'm completely lost. I got one prep book and notes from last year, but I think it's probably safer to read stuff from textbook (to look for details) too. I heard the curve is horrendous though... </p>
<p>The thing I'm wondering is that now I've already registered with Collegeboard, can I cancel my registration and then re-register, for JUST chem? Because if I cancel my world history score, that means I'll have to cancel everything I took on that date, including chem. argharhhg</p>
<p>Is World History that bad??? I might not apply for it , just Chemistry.... What kind of assumed Computer Science or Pre-med Major takes SAT History anyway?? Hm.... I don't know. </p>
<p>For Wendyling, do you want to study together for SAT Chemistry? I Have both Barons and PR books.</p>
<p>Btw, what is the hardest material on that test that isn't gone over in Honors Chemistry? i.e. my teacher never did the Kpa with -log chart and math thing!</p>
<p>I would say don't apply for world history (my major mistake). If you're planning on pre-med, then you should probably take sat II bio and chem and an ap science, and for computer science, sat II math IIC and ap comp science. But um, about chem, well, I don't think it's that hard really. The hardest parts are probably the later material, acids + bases, kinetics, and redox and electrochemistry, bcuz teachers usually rush over that. Oh, also, I forgot like all the formulas for the gas laws, stoichiometry, etc. so my advice is to memorize all the formulas. I keep hearing barron overprepares so I'm just sticking with PR.
kpa = kilopascals (used to measure pressure)
logs = used for finding the PH of acids and bases, it has like a bunch of weird math </p>
<p>If you are taking the world history though, how are you going to study for it?</p>
<p>yeah I registered yesterday and I decided to take it. I'm using SAT World History (Kaplan) And SAT World History (Barrons). Reread your Homework questions, read key chapters in your textbooks, and practice writing essays (They are usually on Main events or topics... so remember key terms and elaborate on that).</p>
<p>You guys are seriously exagerrating the difficulty of the SAT II world history. All you need is one review book, read it throughly and you'll be fine. I would suggest you concentrate your time more on chem. Im in AP chem right now and i personally feel that the sat II chem test is more difficult (more about the timing then the material).</p>
<p>KidNovelist: SAT II in world history is supposed to be 95 multiple choice questions. No essay. Do you practice essay writing as a study method? Has this helped you in past standardized tests? Just wanted to pick you brain a bit, as my daughter is signed up for this one, as well.</p>
<p>For odin64x, do you mean that the SAT II chem covers stuff in ap chem too? I mean since you're taking the class, did you find the tests hard? I originally just planned to rely on the PR and class notes.</p>
<p>For SATII world history, you have to do 95 mc in 1 hr? Holy...
Was it very detailed? Like REA/Barron style, or just PR cover the basics stuff?</p>
<p>^ A lot of ap chem material is not on the sat II chem test. I just find sat II chem more difficult because of the timing. If your proficient in chem, you should be fine.
The WH sat II isnt as detailed as the USh, but yes, you do need to know a lot. But like I said, crack open a rb and you'll be fine.</p>
<p>*Sorry about the essay thing, I was thinking about the Regents lol (NYC only). You're right the World History is pretty easy, the Chemistry should be more difficult esp. with 1 hour to do like 85-100 questions I believe.</p>
<p>which review book do you reccomend for world history</p>
<p>I'm using Barrons and Kaplan. However, Barrons overpreps you, so.. you might want to try Kaplan. But you know, any review book is pretty fine.</p>
