I'm currently in AP chem with a good/hard teacher (everyone got 3s or above last year). So, my question is really if I prepare enough for the AP test, how much would I need to study for the SAT II?
Same question goes for the math. I'm in an advanced precalc class, so I'm a little on the fence about level 1 versus level 2... If it makes a difference I'm much better at "normal" math than the theoretical creative type math on the SAT I. I'm also a slow worker, and run out of time a lot. So, which one should I take, and then how much staying should I do in addition to my class's final?
Any other advice anyone has is welcome too!

I would recommend taking the Math level 2. There's no way for me to know how much you should study, so I suggest you take a practice test or two to see how you feel about it.

My only advice for the Math level 2 is to not spend 2 hours crafting an informative program on your calculator which has every geometric or algebraic formula you could possibly need. I spent that time and did not reference the program once..

If you have any other specific questions, let me know. Good luck.

I am also currently in AP Chemistry & AP Calculus BC class .
I took SAT II - Math level 2 last year ( after Pre-calculus honors ) & got only 740 . I planning to retake again at June 2 . Should I retake ?
I am also planning to take SAT II - Chemistry on May 5 ( according to advice of college counselor ) but I don't know that it is a good idea or not & AP & SAT II are the same prep .
Should I take SAT II Chemistry on May5 ( before AP Chemistry , May 7 ) or June 2 ?

If you have studied sufficiently for AP Chem, then the SAT II for Chemistry shouldn't require extra studying. SAT II Chem is generally considered easier than AP Chem. However, the SAT II does have a True/False/CE section that is a little tricky, so I would suggest that you take a few practice tests beforehand to become familiar with the format of the test.

I took the Math 2 subject test after taking Honors Precalc, and I felt that I was well prepared for the test and had already learned all of the concepts in school. Math 2 seemed to have more straightforward questions than the SAT I math section. I would also recommend that you take a few practice tests for both Math 1 and Math 2 and see which test you are more comfortable with. Keep in mind that the curve for Math 2 is much higher though.
