three science sat II tests??

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>Hello everybody :) I would just like an opinion on how I'm doing subject test-wise if I am looking to apply to a college ranked in the teens or twenties.
I have only taken the Biology M and Chemistry, and received scores of 740 and 780, respectively. I'm planning on taking Math II this coming May, but am wondering whether taking a Physics subject test then as well would be a good idea, since I already have two sciences. </p>

<p>In addition, I will be taking the Chinese sat II in November of my senior year. Will that score be included in an early decision application? </p>

<p>Thanks so much. I would really appreciate some feedback.</p>

<p>yes to all questions.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t bother taking physics if you’re taking Math II AND 2 sciences which you did well on. I would take the Chinese then instead. Yes, it will most likely be included but it’s probably cutting it close.</p>

<p>I would not take Physics because it would be three science tests. Also, I would forget about Chinese unless you’re positive you can beat that curve.</p>

<p>I would spend time studying for Bio to raise it to the high 700s (if you can feel like there are ways to improve). And also study for Math 2 to get a high score.</p>

<p>have you checked the websites of colleges where you are thinking of applying? Do that first, because your subject tests are very lopsided at this point, and many selective colleges, other than strictly tech schools, want to see a humanities or English subject test.</p>

<p>Which schools are you thinking about? Different ones have different requirements.</p>

<p>Sorry for the extremely late reply, but thanks so much for your feedback.
I had decided not to take the physics. Although I am taking the AP physics test this coming May.
I’m also taking the AP US history test. What’s the difference difficulty-wise between the AP test and US history SAT II?
VirologyNerd, yes I agree and I do kind of regret that Biology score, but I took biology freshman year (I’m a junior now), so I think I’m going to have to keep it and hope for a good score on Math II.
menloparkmom, thanks for the suggestion, but I think I’ve decided to focus my time on the SAT’s, which are more important than the SAT II’s after all.
I have not really looked into schools yet, but the Ivy’s (specifically Cornell) are definitely a reach as of now</p>
