Which is better

<p>Is it better to take one SAT II at a time? or to take multiple SAT IIs at a time? I want to take SAT Bio, SAT Chem, and SAT MAth II. I am currently in AP BIO, AP CHEM, and Hon pre-calc.</p>

<p>So when should I take the SAT IIs? </p>

<p>Before the AP tests? AFter the AP tests? </p>

<p>All at once? One at a time?</p>

<p>Plz help!</p>

<p>You should take them only when you feel well-prepared for them. And taking more than one SAT II at a time helps save money, since you have pay $20 for each administration. I wouldn’t recommend you to take three at a time, though, unless you’re not tired from your previous two tests. Two seems like a good number.</p>

<p>For Math II, I’d highly recommend you to have completed Pre-Calc first, and for Chem and Bio, I’d recommend you to do the subject tests when the subject matter is still fresh in your mind. June seems like a good month for you, since you’ll have the AP tests in May.</p>

<p>I did take three at a time, but that was because I was very confident in my abilities for Chinese and Math II, my first two tests. It didn’t really affect my score on my third test, Lit. But to be safe, 2 is best. And agree for Math II. Precalc is pretty much a prerequisite if you want to do well; hell, the last question on the November Math II was a stat question that I would’ve missed if I hadn’t taken it. Never knew stat was going to be on there, but I digress.</p>

<p>If possible, I would take one or two at a time.</p>

<p>^^^^^^^^should i take it before or after the AP test?</p>

<p>I would take it after. I took all of mine in June. Especially if you’re taking AP Bio/Chem/Calc, the material will be fresh in your mind after all that AP studying</p>

<p>Always take subject tests after AP tests whenever possible. At that point, you’ve learned all the material you need to know and can easily review for a much simpler exam.</p>

<p>so are SAT IIs more important than Ap tests?</p>

<p>^ In a way, yes, because top schools usually require SAT II’s but not AP’s, as they realize that not all high schools have AP courses as part of their curriculum.</p>
