Urgent

Help, thsi is a question relating to what test i should take in two days.


...so with a 36 in act science i had thought maybe i could have a chance at applying to mit level schools.

i am currently in AP physics (my first year of physics)

so after about 3 months of class, i took the october physics sat. i guessed on 80% of the questions.

It was hard, but i was hoping the curve would make up for a lot of it.

I ended up getting a 600 (like 30th percentile) cold, and although signed up for the SAT I retake in a few days, i had been thinking about changing it to physics and trying again.

But in all honesty i dont think that retaking physics will get me a better score since we've only done about 1 more chapter in class.. and the subject test mainly tests on the chapters we have yet to cover.

Is it worth paying the extra money to change the SAT retake on saturday to an sat subject test, or should i just live with my 600 physics and retake the SAT?

Btw i want to go into engineering and i am a senior so time is running out.

i know that 600 is not my best possible score but since i havent taken a full year of physics yet, i dont think i can change that right now. i also suck at studying for tests (with PR's and stuff)

Agghhhh help! ill end up paying like 90 bucks for this SAT thing just due to indecision and changing plans...

what test should i take on saturday?

PS: I am using score choice so this saturday may be my last testing window.

also, should i bother telling the colleges on the application form that i took the test cold? Which explains my 600 in physics wihle everything else is 700+? Or will they not care since they will say i should have taken the class as a junior instead of a senior, or studied more?

sorry to burst your bubble, but ACT Science has nothing to do with actual science. And it will not allow you to go to "MIT level schools".
Since it's your first year of physics, taking physics with only 3 months of knowledge was stupid.
Take Chemistry SAT II.
