Subject test dilemma

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hey guys! I just have a quick problem that I need a little advice on:</p>

<p>I am currently signed up for the Chemistry and Math Level 2 subject tests, and the more I try to practice and study for the Chemistry exam, the more and more I realize that my chemistry teacher taught me nothing (the entire class was math based with little conceptual learning) and I am afraid of how I will do on the Chemistry test. I am currently looking to apply to Stanford, Northwestern, UPenn, GaTech, and Purdue. I know for a fact that UPenn requires two subject tests with a strong recommendation on Math Level 2 and physics, and requires that every scores from every standardized test taken must be submitted. I had signed up for the Chemistry test because I am just now finishing up the class at my school. I now have two choices:</p>

<p>Don't take the chemistry test, only take Math Level II and tutor myself in physics over the summer to prepare for that test</p>

<p>OR</p>

<p>take both and submit whatever Chemistry grade I get.</p>

<p>Could you guys offer me a bit of advice on what to do? Thanks!!</p>

<p>I understand the dilemma you’re in. Based on the schools you’re applying to, Chemistry won’t help you unless you get over a 770. I would just take the Math lvl II and see how I do and also, I would try taking a history test or literature to show my diversity to those colleges. Good luck!</p>
