<p>I will be applying to two schools that require SAT subject tests. I know that I will be taking the MATH II and Biology M next year but people say it's better to take three. Based on the classes I am taking next year, what would you suggest taking?</p>
<p>AP Bio
AP Lang.
AP Euro
AP Psychology
Honors Pre Calc
Honors US History</p>
<p>Note: I took Honors Chemistry this year and made a 98, I wouldn't mind taking the Chemistry subject test as long as it's not too difficult. </p>
<p>If u are applying to top tier schools, they would like to see that you could do well in humanities courses too. D2 is going to be a philosophy major, but she took math 2 and Chemistry tests.</p>
<p>I took ap chem last year and got a subject test of 780. For our school, most of the subjects on the sat wasn’t covered in our regular chemistry class, and as a result not many did well on the test. The calculations aren’t hard so as long as you still remember the concepts covered id recommend taking the subject test.</p>
<p>I took AP chem this year and got an 800 on the subject test. I have a friend who took honors chem, and a year later studied for the SAT II, in a similar situation to yours. She got a 680. I’m not necessarily saying you’ll get that score, but I do think it’s unwise to take a subject test if you haven’t taken that class that year; she probably would have done better on the test if she’d just taken it right after she finished honors chem.</p>
<p>Math II, bio, and USH/lit sounds really solid to me. Good luck!</p>
<p>@steven: Awesome! I can cover a lot of the topics by myself since I’m not taking the test until next June. </p>
<p>@mandiej: Did your friend take the time to cover all of the topics on the test? I plan on studying for three months ahead and knowing all of Barrons SATChemistry.</p>
<p>I think she studied Princeton Review’s chemistry for a month or two before the test. I don’t know how in-depth she studied. She retook it, though, having taken AP chem this past year, and got an 800.</p>
<p>If you are applying to A&S schools, you need one humanities SAT II. Not sure why you are struggling with this. Top tier schools do not care if you are going to be a science major, they want to know that you could also excel in courses outside of science, just look at their core requirements. If it matters, this is what our kid’s very expensive private college counselor told her.</p>
<p>@mandiej: Oh okay, that seems like a lot of work if you don’t take AP Chem. I think it might be better to take the US History one after all.</p>
<p>@oldfort: I guess I will go with US History then. It’s probably better that I take that one since I have Honors USH second semester. Using Barron’s SAT US History in correlation with the class should be sufficient for review I think.</p>
<p>I took honors chem this year and ended up with an A. My teacher was ****. I dont have ap chem at my school. I took 2 sparknotes tests (fairly accurate). I got an 800 on the real thing. Oh also im not an ivyleaguebound CCer. Also i actually ENJOY chemistry.</p>
