SAT II Chemistry vs. US History (and timing..?)

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>So, this year I am taking AP US History and was advised by a few people to take the SAT II Subject Test after the AP test.
At the same time, I'm in an Honors Chemistry course and am thinking about taking the SAT II Chem test. I am doing very well in the course and science is my strongest area in school. I was thinking about taking AP Bio senior year and then taking the Bio E test then as well.</p>

<p>Is it too science-y to take Bio E and Chem for SAT IIs? Keep in mind that I'll probably end up going into something bio-related; genetics is looking like a nice option currently. Do colleges not care about that? Should I make my SAT IIs more well-rounded? I'm a sophomore. Should I take both USH and Chem now? Should I wait for next year (junior year) when I take AP Chem to take the SAT subject test? My only reservation is that I know I'll be super stressed next year, what with the major standardized tests and preparation for college and all.</p>

<p>I'm also somewhat forced to take Math IIC because I'm in advanced math, so I'll do that senior year. I'll be taking Spanish with Listening junior year as well. So if I take both Chem and USH, that's five tests, which seems a little over-the-top to me. :/</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your advice; it's very much appreciated! :)</p>

<p>Take as many as possible so you can choose the ones that you want =)</p>

<p>that's always a good strategy.</p>

<p>i took chem+math</p>

<p>Nah. I believe if you study for the SAT II with adequate time, you should be able to perform top-notch.</p>

<p>I'd suggest taking US History this May or June. Take Chem next year, and then Math II either at the end of junior year or at the beginning of senior. That's certainly enough. You don't need 5.</p>
