<p>I think that based on the PLAN, I will prefer ACT over SAT. I like the format and the material is actually on what you learned in high school. To me, SAT material is just blehh. I hate studying for it.</p>

<p>@nate: I used Barron’s and Cliff’s AP to study for the test. Both were very helpful, and I recommend doing the same.</p>
<p>@evan: I agree, my school makes all juniors take the ACT next year. I think I scored a 30 on the plan, not bad but I didn’t study at all for it.</p>
<p>@Studious: Will do, thanks! Do you think the extent of the content will change? AP Biology is changing to where there are only 5 major sections we have to hit on.</p>
<p>I like the SAT a lot better. I’ve always been a reader & writer (instead of asking for bottles like a normal kid, I’d ask for a book), so that comes easily. & the math is easier to cram, imo. </p>
<p>Although, I asked my guidance counselor if I could take the PLAN, and he didn’t even know what it was ._.</p>
<p>@nate: SAT Biology will probably remain the same. The new edition of Cliff’s probably won’t cover as much, but I hope it will (because it’s so great already).</p>
<p>@nate: We are out of school and my guidance counselor never gave them to us. She said that she has to make an interpretation guide before she gives them out. She should’ve just given me mine since I asked about them alot since February.</p>
<p>To everyone who has taken an SAT Subject Test, how are they? Easy or hard? Do you think that I will be adequately prepared after taking the AP class? I’m taking AP Calc BC and AP Chem next year so I plan to do the Chem and Math 2 tests next year. Then I plan to do AP Bio senior year and do the subject test for that.</p>

<p>I took Us History subject test yesterday and it wasn’t bad at all!</p>
<p>@evan: They haven’t been too hard. I would actually recommend you take the Math II test in the fall. It only tests up to precalculus. I took it in May after studying Barron’s and got an 800. You could do the same. Also, why take the subject test after AP Bio senior year? By that time, taking the SAT II would be useless.</p>
<p>so now that we are about to be juniors im wondering if this is an okay schedule and i also want to see if this is manageable
ap us history
ap lang
ap psychology
ap bc calc
Honors physics
Journalism 3
Personal fitness </p>
<p>I am a spring season athlete and i usually maintain my grades during the season and im wondering if i get all As how much will it get my gpa up by. I really messed up freshman year i got a 3.260 and sophomore year its looking like a 3.6 ish and im looking to work really really hard in junior year.</p>
<p>@Studious: Oh okay, so I guess the 2013 AP Bio students will have to learn a lot of new info before taking the subject test… They are coming out with a new Cliff’s??? That’s awesome, I have been worrying that no one would come out with a new review book. </p>
<p>@evan: Wow, that’s odd. We received a whole score report just like we did for the PSAT back in February.
Also, one of the students at my school who applied to NCSSM that was rejected appealed her decision. She is now on a waiting list for NCSSM. I highly doubt she will come off of the wait list though. What do you think?</p>
<p>Ugh I have way too much to do in 4 days. 3 more exams and a humongous Spanish 3 project for IB. </p>
<p>On a good note it’s the last week of school (:</p>
<p>@bandgeek: That stinks! Good luck on your exams! I have been out since May 22nd :D</p>
<p>Thanks. I had biology EOC last Friday. Just got to do band, English & digital communications. Ugh soo lucky. We’re soo close I can taste but we ain’t there just yet -__-</p>
<p>Any idea on when the new AP Bio books will be released?</p>
<p>I know they will come out with a new Cliff’s eventually, but I’m not sure if it will come out in time for next year’s AP test.</p>
<p>@lldm21 haha!!! XD oh, gosh, mine too!! some public school guidance counselors…sheesh. </p>
<p>@nate42 Just took math 2 yesterday. It seemed almost a little too easy, thank goodness for that curve though, I ended up omitting 2 questions because I didn’t have time 
Glad to hear everyone else’s subject tests went well! Hopefully the PSAT this fall will go just as well. </p>
<p>Speaking of PSAT’s, are you guys going to take the SAT or ACT in october?</p>
<p>^ I plan to. Studying for it will kill two birds with one stone, as I won’t have PSAT studying to worry about.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, me too. It should be easier that way. And, well, a girl can dream, maybe we won’t have to take it again! …If we study enough >.<</p>
<p>Will Math II be easier with AP Calc AB? Because I’ve gone up through Honors Algebra II/Trigonometry, and I’ve heard precalc is basically trig. </p>
<p>Should I wait til the end of junior year to take Math II, with Calc AB under my belt, or would I be okay taking it soon?</p>
<p>@julieannab: Exactly. I want to study thoroughly and be done with it. Shooting for a 2350+. What about you?</p>
