<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I want to self-study either AP Biology or AP Chemistry in order to take either the AP test or SAT Subject Tests (or both).</p>
<p>Is one harder than the other? Which one, in your opinion, is easier to self-study? Should I even bother trying to self-study?</p>
<p>Also, what kind of materials do I need to self-study (Barron's etc.)?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Don’t self study AP tests - besides getting college credit (assuming the school you attend offer credit for APs), there’s really no point. According to admissions officers from top tier schools, self studying isn’t impressive; it’s much more worthwhile dedicating your time to a club, volunteer work, ect.</p>
<p>If you want to study for an SAT II, that’s a different story. I’d recommending getting two or three review books and working your way section by section through each of the books. Why aren’t you taking these classes in school?</p>
<p>What about studying for SAT II’s?
I know you need 2 for most colleges as a requirement, but in school I am preparing for: World History, Physics and Math level 2. </p>
<p>I was just trying to have more options regarding the subject tests. Do more Subject tests look better on applications or are two good scores enough?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Bump!</p>
