I’m looking to take an sat subject test for math level 2 and one subject test for science next year. I have no idea what major I’ll be going in yet, so I’m taking 2 subject tests for math+science just in case I end up majoring somewhere in those fields. But, I don’t know if I should take the subject test for bio or chemistry. I’m taking regular chem next year, and the only bio class I’ve taken is human biology, and I’m not planning on taking any more bio courses.
Will I be prepared enough for the chem subject test, or should I take the bio test? I feel like I could do better on bio, but I’m unsure if I should take Bio E or Bio M if I decide to go that route.
What grade are you going into? Most kids take the chem subject test after completing AP Chem, not just regular chem. I’m not sure what level of bio is recommended.
Most kids, certainly those outside of College Confidential, do not take the Subject Test after an AP class, although some might feel better prepared if they do wait. However, as the Subject Test test basic HS chemistry, one can do well on the Subject Test with regular chem.
To the OP, it really does not matter which one you take, although I would think that you would be better prepared for chemistry, since you are taking chem next year. However, you might want to take a bio practice test, just to gauge how much you know.
