Super Quick Question about SAT IIs

<p>Is a a person allowed to take Bio E AND M?</p>

<p>not on the same test date</p>

<p>What about on different dates?</p>

<p>Might a college be impressed by knowing both parts? Will it count as two exams?</p>

<p>If you have time to take four (Bio E, Bio M, X, Y) instead of three, or three (Bio E, Bio M, X) instead of two, then it might be impressive, but otherwise I think it’s about as unimpressive as submitting both math tests.</p>

<p>If I were you, I’d take a practice test and just take the part of the test in which you feel most comfortable. If you really want to look impressive with SAT2s, I’d say take two different ones.</p>

<p>yeah, but what if someone had already taken every other subject test (besides all languages except french and spanish, including both math) and they want to look like they dominated SAT IIs? WOuldn’t that make you look pretty hardcore?</p>

<p>Have you actually taken every other subject test?</p>

<p>hypothetical speaking here, candy man ;)</p>

<p>I wouldn’t take both if you got a good score on one. Colleges don’t want you sending them excessive amounts of SAT II’s. Like wittywonka said, would you really want to send both math scores or both physics scores? Instead of wasting space by sending them redundant scores, you could include a chem/bio/us history/latin score that would highlight your ability to excel in other academic subjects. I don’t even think colleges care whether you take E or M.</p>

<p>But if you just want to take both tests just for the heck of it, then go ahead my friend. It seems pointless though :]</p>

<p>Colleges won’t give you 2 love points for giving 2 bio tests, so taking 2 bio tests simply isn’t worth it because of the lack of actual recognition you get. Some colleges limit SAT2 entries, so why waste a space for 2 bio spaces unless you’re a HARDCORE BIOLOGIST, in which case you should turn in a chemistry one & a ideally a 3rd as well anyways?</p>

<p>If you’re trying to look for an excuse to take both biology tests, you really don’t need one; the decision is up to you.</p>

<p>However, realistically speaking, I don’t think colleges would care if you took and aced both tests; I think it would look much stronger to take different tests.</p>
