What is the easiest/best subject test?

<p>What is the easiest/best subject test?</p>

<p>Depends on your strengths. With that said, if you are a good reader, the English Lit will require the least amount of preparation. Also, if you have taken rigorous AP/Honors courses at your high school, peruse some test prep books in those subjects, and you will be ready!</p>

<p>My son said someone at his school signed up for the Math SAT IIC test, then downloaded every single math program that existed for the TI 83+ silver edition calculator (my son says it has to be silver edition because it has extra memory), then when this person went in to take the test, all he had to do was know which program to use--and just entered the necessary numbers.</p>

<p>Apparently, this worked well for the person involved, since his Math SAT IIC score was good enough to get him into Stanford starting this fall.</p>

<p>That's not really fair for those of us with simple scientific calcs..</p>

<p>If you are in high school, you should have learned by now that life is not always fair--besides, I don't make the rules--I'm just telling you how to use them to your advantage.</p>

<p>P.S. And my son wasn't able to benefit from this since he's a senior and only found out about this last week.</p>

<p>^ haha I was looking at my old posts yeah I realize life’s not fair. But I still good enough scores to get into Stanford and Yale too using a simple calculator on the SAT ii math. :)</p>

<p>Math II, hands down.
Really, calculators can only get one so far: one actually needs a good grasp and understanding in math, AT LEAST, to do well on this test.</p>

<p>Math II is amazingly easy. It is a test on how well you know your calculator. Despite that, don’t get too cocky during the test, always go back and check your answers.</p>

<p>Fair or not fair, i think it takes less time to do the questions on your own than pluging into calculator etc. If he did well with a calculator (only reason) i kinda feel bad for him. Later on he will have to learn the material or the speed of doing it anyway and he will remember how he wasted time on programming that is no longer useful to him</p>

<p>I am not a math person at all, so I’d say Bio for sure, but maybe that’s because our AP bio course is crazy intense, with 100% 5’s on the AP test, insane tests..the teacher really made us UNDERSTAND so when time came to take the test, I never even had to crack open a book to study and still did well.</p>

<p>Also, Lit, I felt was really easy, also with no prep, but then again, I took an intense AP course in that as well.</p>

<p>I’ve heard world history is pretty easy, though I haven’t taken it</p>

<p>The OP’s question is extremely vague and stupid.</p>

<p>A “Easy” SAT II can mean two things;</p>

<ul>
<li><p>A SAT II That has super easy content material that almost every non-idiot knows pretty well, but that has a curve of death because the contents so easy.</p></li>
<li><p>A SAT II thats so incredibely hard that everyone fails (or is supposed to) that the curve is so nice that lots of people do amazing.</p></li>
</ul>

<p>Thus, there is no ‘easy’ SAT II - every SAT’s difficulty is an interesting paradox.</p>

<p>take science only if youve taken the AP science fully before. made that mistake of takig ap bio senior year and not before my bio sat 2 which i only got a 650. </p>

<p>as fo rthe other, take math sat 2. very easy, got 790 with barely any studying.</p>

<p>^ I took Honors Chemistry, had a horrible teacher, failed the midterm, and then the teacher got off on maternity leave and we got a new one who was horrible and got fired and then a new one who refused to teach us.</p>

<p>I self-studied the chemistry SAT then basically and ignored the stuff in class and got a 780 and 98 regents, even though only a 91 in the class, but im not studying science anyway in college.</p>

<p>wel youre lucky.i tried studyin for my bio one but honoslty it was really random i dont know about chem but the bio’s curve isnt very generous and it covers subjects so damn broadly. i felt like i was in a trivia game haha</p>

<p>What ever you do, do not take an language tests. They are extremely hard for us non-native speakers.</p>

<p>And if you know the language and do well, it won’t be a big deal.</p>

<p>I am studying for the January 26th SAT Subject Test US History after just completing AP US History at school (my AP classes are only one semester long) and am finding the review for it very easy. All I am using are the Sparknotes review flash cards. I got a 700 on the practice test, but am studying constantly until next Saturday to get a 750+.</p>

<p>I think all you need is an AP course for any SAT Subject Test to make it easy, honestly.</p>

<p>^That depends on how rigorous the course is, and how well you did in it.</p>

<p>My AP US History course wasn’t rigorous at all (teacher is in her second semester of AP teaching; she is obviously new at it) but I am scoring 700+ on practice tests for the exam. As long as you have the drive to study on your on, alongside an AP course, I think any competent person on CC could make 700+ on a SAT subject test.</p>

<p>A good last minute SATII is Lit. Just study the literary terms and you should do alright (as in at least 650 or so).</p>

<p>I believe that this question all depends upon the teacher and the course that you take to prepare. For example, my APUSH teacher year is insane. He is probably the best history teacher at our school. All I do is pay attention in lecture (spectacular) and receive great results. I don’t have worries about that SAT II. Contrarily, last year’s Chem teacher was mediocre and therefore my score was a mediocre 730.
Advice: Discover which classes you are good at and enjoy and proceed to take subject tests in those.</p>
