<p>I'm looking at a few schools that require or recommend SAT Subject tests, but I'm not sure what to take. I know I want to do something science-related in college, so I'm thinking I'll take Math 2 and Biology. I'm currently in AP Biology, but I'm not sure which Bio subject test to take. Do colleges prefer one over the other?
I did pretty well on the SAT and ACT and am in/have taken a decent number of APs if that makes any difference.
Thanks!</p>
<p>Each college has their own guidelines regarding subject tests. Assuming that both Biology subject tests are not restricted by the college you have in mind, they do not prefer one over the other. The M test focuses on Microbiology, it’s also the popular choice. E focuses on environmental. Take the practice tests on the Collegeboard website and sign up for whichever one you have a better understanding of.</p>
<p>Many engineering schools require Math II + Physics or Chemistry + one test of your choice. Best of luck!</p>
<p>I was planning on taking the Physics test, but missed the registration deadline. I don’t want to take it in the spring because I just finished the course and don’t think I’ll do that well… I’m taking AP Chemistry and AP Physics next year, so I could take them then but I’ll be a senior so I don’t think there’s much point, right?
I’m leaning towards the Bio M test I think, but I’ll try some questions and make sure.
Thanks for the help!</p>
