Hello, I’m basically taking regular Chemistry this year but I need a science subject test to apply to MIT and Caltech. I’m a humanities major, but I’m interested in their anthropology programs. Do you think self-studying for the SAT chemistry is worth it? Or should I just forget it and not apply to those schools? I can take the May or June SAT. I already have these subject tests: 800 WH, 770 Math 2. Thanks!
I forgot to say that I’m a junior.
I think if you’re competent enough to be a competitive applicant for those schools, you should definitely take the subject tests. The Barron’s SAT Chemistry book is pretty good, it gives a good review of the topics and a decent amount of practice tests. Those tests are harder than the actual test, so you will be over-prepared, which is good.
@swim1128 thank you for the advice!
