<p>I guess this is somewhat of a ridiculous question, but I'm curious if colleges treat these scores "less highly" than if I were to take all 3 of my SAT IIs in one test date. For example, I'm planning on taking Math II in Jan, but I eventually will also take Chem/Bio. Would it be better if I just wait and take all 3 at once? Splitting them up into separate dates seems better in terms of prepping for them...</p>
<p>Edit: Money would not be an issue - I know that its $20 per sitting, so more expensive for separate testing - I just want to know any other consequences of taking the SATIIs one at a time.</p>
<p>Colleges don't care when you take them. Many, in fact, recommend that you take them when your memory is still relatively fresh (i.e. if you take Chemistry in your sophomore year, take the Chem SAT II in May or June of your sophomore year). The point of this exercise is to accumulate the best test scores you can. If you are one of the rare individuals who can score better on a subject test 2 or 3 years after you've last taken the subject you can take them all at the same time.</p>
<p>it's a good strategy to take them separately because if you want to cancel a score, you have to cancel every score in one sitting. so if you feel that you screwed up chem, and you took three subject tests together, you'd have to cancel them all. Plus, taking three subject tests can be exhausting, especially when they are all in different areas (take it from me)</p>
