<p>Is it possible to score well (700+) on the subject tests if I haven't taken the correlating class yet? Which tests would be the easiest to take if I'm self studying?
I want to take a science subject test, and I've taken a Biology class and Chemistry class. But neither of the classes were in-dept, since we can't take the AP classes until senior year. Using only review books, is there any chance for a high score?</p>
<p>It’s okay, I couldn’t take AP classes either before my senior year. I took honors chem and got a 770 on the subject test after some self studying, so it’s definitely possible.</p>
<p>Isn’t it so frustrating that some schools don’t allow APs before senior year?:(</p>
<p>Alright, thank you! Chemistry isn’t actually a strong point of mine, but I’m hoping I’ve learned enough the past couple of years to be able to self-study efficiently.</p>
<p>And I agree, it is extremely frustrating! Oh well. You just do what you can, I guess.</p>
<p>If you study hard enough and do enough practice tests, nothing is impossible. In my opinion, many classes (at least at my school) is not designed for you to ace SAT IIs. Much of the studying and preparation for the test is done on your own.</p>
<p>I concur with most of what has been stated above. It’s also worthwhile to note that even AP courses at certain schools, particularly those that are not well-organized or planned, do not offer the preparation needed to succeed on the SAT II’s.</p>
<p>I self-studied for the Physics SAT II Exam without taking any Honors, AP, or IB Course on it and I did pretty decent overall (I HOPE…) Aiming for 700 and above…</p>
<p>How would you recommend self-studying? </p>
<p>I’ve taken courses in many of the subject test classes, but they weren’t satisfactory. Should I get a textbook for that course and teach myself according to what collegeboard says is on the test? Will just a prep book in Biology be sufficient to help me self-study if I may not know all the information beforehand?</p>
