<p>Hi, I'm thinking about taking two SAT subject tests in June so I can get my third one in in October (I'm a rising senior). </p>
<p>Is it too much to do? Do you start one test immediately after the other?</p>
<p>I would imagine that after I finished one test, I would be too brain-dead to do the other one.</p>
<p>Any advice? Should I go ahead and take two on the same day?</p>
<p>Also, can you request in which order you're going to take the tests?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I can actually help you with this!</p>
<p>Many (most) people take two subject tests at the same testing date. Each test is only an hour long, with breaks in between. You don’t have to request the order that you take the test; basically, you get a booklet containing all of the available subject tests. When the proctor (the guy in charge of the test) tells you to, you open to the test you want to take first and start working. After you’re finished, you get a short break (5 - 7 minutes), then the proctor tells you turn to the next test in the booklet that you want to do and you work on that. You decide the order of the tests since the test booklet contains all of the available tests. You’re out of there in just over two hours. </p>
<p>The subject tests are nowhere near as long as the regular SAT. Anyone who can handle the SAT I could easily handle the two SAT II tests; I’m not saying that they’re super-easy, but they’re not time-consuming.</p>
<p>Thanks so much! I took 3 on the same day! It was totally okay (if you studied).</p>
<p>This thread is from 5 months ago. o.O </p>
<p>Which tests did you take? I’m wondering if the order that I take the tests might affect how well I do on each of them (like I might be kind of tired by the third test.)</p>
<p>Dude I know I forgot I put this up! I took math II, chem, and US history. If you studied, the order doesn’t affect your score. It’s really not that tiring at all! Good luck!</p>
<p>As everyone has been saying, it depends on how well prepared you are. The problem with taking two on the same day is that if you cancel one, you have the other score is cancelled along with it. So in the case that you do well on one but not-so-well on the other, you either have to keep a bad score or lose a good score.</p>
<p>But if you feel that this won’t happen, then it’s not a huge detriment.</p>
<p>I don’t think the order matters too much, but I did take it into some consideration. For example, once I took Math and Lit on the same day, in that order, because I was weaker at Math. An hour of test-taking could cause my concentration to waver, I thought.</p>
