Which tests to take?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>I'm currently in my senior year and I need to take at least 2 SAT subject tests by Dec. My possible options are: </p>

<p>Math Level 2 - This is required by some of the colleges i'm applying to. I'm currently in Calc. BC. Pre-calc last year was pretty easy, but I probably forgot alot. (720 on SAT math section, if that means anything)</p>

<p>English Literature - I'm in AP Eng. Lit currently and I took AP Eng Lang. (B) last year (A in class, 3 on AP, 800 on SAT Critical Reading, 620 on Writing)</p>

<p>US History - Took last year. (B in Class, 3 on AP, but I think it's b/c I failed the essays) I really should have taken most of these tests last year, but I was stupid and didn't really even know what was required for admissions, especially this one.</p>

<p>World History - Is it any easier than US History? I took AP Euro (A/B in class, 3 on AP) and East Asian Studies in 9th grade (A).</p>

<p>Biology - in 9th grade (A), probably forgot most, is it hard to relearn/memorize? However, I think I definately need to take a science test, b/c I want to go into the science in college (Pharamacy/Chemistry)</p>

<p>Chemistry - in 10th (A, and was easy) also forgot most, is it hard to relearn/memorize? Unfortunately, I won't be taking the AP class until spring semester (****ed)</p>

<p>Physics - in 11th (A), but was most difficult for me out of all science classes.</p>

<p>French w/ Listening - Took up to French 4 (A's and B's) and went to France last summer, good vocab and listening/speaking, but I really really suck at conjugation and tenses.</p>

<p>Please help and recommend which I should take and how much you think I should prepare. I'm also thinking of taking more than two so I'll hopefully do decent on at least two. What do you think? I won't have that much time to relearn everthing, but what tests do you think are my best bets?</p>

<p>Also, any general tips on what to study would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>I'm probably going to take Lit., Math 2, US History, Chem and Bio, is this a good idea, How much prep. do I need since I haven't taken any of the APs</p>

<p>I think that's a bit too many, especially since you're a senior and you only have 3 months to prepare. US History and Bio are usually taken after the APs, in other words it's fairly difficult to self-study both (At the end of summer I got a 500 on a practuce SATUSH test w/o any prep since AP, got a 5 on AP).</p>

<p>Since you mentioned a science interest in college, I recommend you take Math 2 and Chem. Chem is not too difficult to study for and Math2 is fairly easy with your test scores. You generally seem to be well-versed in those two subjects. My asian $$.02 (ain't worth much :-P)</p>

<p>Sorry, I meant the science APs, I've taken the US AP History test (last year unfortunately). But thanks for the input, I'm just worried about the chem because it's been nearly 2 years and alot of the content wasn't covered in my sophomore class.</p>

<p>I disagree...US history and bio are very easy to study for, probably the easiest</p>
