Say I signed up for Math II, Chem, and USH. Can I choose to take the subject tests in the order that I prefer or is the order already determined by CB?

Thanks!

You choose the order. You can even change subjects.

hey, I'm planning to do Math II, Lit and Chem on Nov 1, but my finals are the same week and I'm worried it'll jeopardize my scores, so I was thinking to just lessen the load and take two (Math II / Lit) and move Chem to Dec 6.

if i'm taking the tests on two separate dates:

what about colleges that require three subject tests like Princeton- do I send the two scores first, and send my third subject test score on a separate date? or is it advisable to just wait until i receive my third score before sending all three to colleges like Princeton?

but from what i read, taking the test on Dec 6 is not viable cause the results are only released on Dec 23 right? does this only apply to colleges that require the scores be sent by mail?

if i'm going to take three subs on a single test date anyway, i'm free to choose the two out of three scores to send?

and I might just take Math I with Math II and Lit on Nov 1 and do away with Chem, cause math is the one subject i know i can score in. is this advisable, especially if I'm intending to send the scores to competitive colleges like HPYS?

gosh, sorry for the long-winded post, thanks in advance.

Doesn't matter, either way works. You get 3 free score reports each time; I wouldn't pay to send any scores until your 3rd subject is done though.

Check with schools; most will accept Dec for RD.

Don't think that rule comes into effect this year. Everything gets sent.

Generally MathI and MathII are counted as 1 subject score (i.e. with your plan, you'd only have completed 2 subject tests)

Hey, I had originally registerd for Oct Math IIC test,
but on the test day,
I took Math IC too, as a standby.

I know from previous experience that if I send a cheque for payment through mail,
it will take more than a month to get my score.

So, assuming the cheque would be delivered after the day we get our scores,
on Oct 23, will I at least be able to receive the Math IIC score alone,
or all tests scores of the day will be held unavailable before the payment is complete?

Does anybody have such experience?

Sparknotes and PR for all 3.

I've gotten 800s on Physics and Chemistry, waiting on my MathII results, although I kinda messed up on it :P

@lolcats

I am considering the option of taking the physics SAT. I am certainly interested in it, but I never had a class of physics before. Would you say that PR and Sparknotes is enough for a 770+ on physics? I got 790 on BIO E after selfstudying for it, so what would you advise me to do?

Not a problem. All the SAT II tests are in one booklet. Just take the one you want to take, making sure that you write the correct test on the answer sheet. The results will show how you did on the test you took.
