<p>I made a terrible mistake this year. After hearing my teacher suggest taking the SAT II for Biology after the honors course, I signed up to take it. I studied my class notes, looked at a few prep books, and felt prepared. However, I got REALLY sick the night before, the night I planned to review. I came to the exam the day after still sick and I choked on it. I canceled my scores immediately, so, no harm, no foul. I learned my lesson to only take SAT Subject Tests only after AP exams or with extensive preparation months before the exam after honors courses.</p>
<p>I've decided to skip retaking Biology (my school does not offer AP Biology until senior year, and if I took it then it would be useless). </p>
<p>Now, I've signed up for my AP European History. I was at the top of my class in my Honors World History I class last year, so I figure I'll survive this class as it is taught by the same teacher I had last year. I just wanted to know how people have been prepared for this SAT after taking an AP course. I'm absolutely TERRIFIED of SAT Subject Tests after my Biology nightmare. Now that I'm taking an AP course, will I be more comfortable?</p>
<p>Also, should I schedule the SAT to be near to my AP exam in May or hold off until June?</p>
<p>Thanks for all your help!</p>
<p>bummmmmmmmppppppp! :)</p>
<p>I don’t think there is a European History SAT subject test.</p>
<p>There isn’t a Euro SAT2… the closest one is world history, but I would wait a year and take the US history SAT2 because it correlates with APUSH.</p>
<p>I personally would take it in June, just so you’ll have an extra month to review, but if you’re taking many (more than 3) you obviously have to take tests both May and June.</p>
<p>Whoops! I’m insane. I meant to write the World History SAT. I’m a little overtired :D</p>
<p>I have to take a World History II course next year as a part of my European History requirement because I must take a World History Regents in June of next year. We’re even learning the bulk of our European History from our World History textbooks, of course using AP Euro books as well to catch any extra details not covered in the textbooks.</p>
<p>Anyway, would I be prepared to take this?</p>
<p>Well, you only get what you put into it.</p>
<p>I’m sure if you buy a World History prep book and skim the contents and take the practice tests, you’ll be ready. </p>
<p>But will you get a high score from just taking a related class? No. </p>
<p>Just take as many practice tests as you can, and from those you’ll be able to see a projected score, and if you’re happy with how you’re scoring, I don’t see why you wouldn’t be prepared.</p>
