@topaz1116 I also hate the science section so I’m taking the SAT. I like actual science, though.
I plan on taking the SAT in October if all goes well, which means I’ll probably take an SAT Subject in Literature in December OR January (unless I need to re-take the SAT one last time before they change it in January). Then probably take the SAT Subject in US History in May/June (studying concurrently for APUSH).
I already took the SAT IIs in Bio (E), Chem, and Math II, so I don’t know if I’ll be taking any more. Maybe Physics next June. I’d take a humanities test, but I’m not good enough at Spanish, the history ones are supposedly ridiculous, and the English ones are apparently really hard. Maybe I’ll brave the World History test sometime next year. I don’t know.
I’m taking the SAT in October as well. I would have registered for September, but they didn’t have a date this year for some reason.
If all goes according to plan, I will take the Math II and Biology (M) in October and the World History in December.
Same here. I’m taking the U.S. History subject test some time after junior year since I’m taking APUSH. I might also take the Japanese one to prep myself for AP Japanese and because I would have studied three years worth of the language by then.
I’m considering taking the world history one soon, I just need to review my materials, and it won’t be stressful for me to do since I enjoy learning about history.
@dsi411 and @testtaking You guys are doing IB, right? And for anyone else doing IB, do you have an obligation to attend IB sponsored events? They say its an obligation to attend a BBQ this monday night, and I really don’t want to go. I’m hoping they are just saying that to get people to go.
Are any of you going to take the old SAT? For our grade we kind of have a choice. I’m planning on just waiting for the new one to come out in spring and focusing on the ACT this fall. Won’t colleges prefer the new one, since it tests more relevant, real-world skills?
@coffeeaddicted I’m doing the same thing as you. I’m taking the act in October and the sat then it comes out in march
@athenanv13 I’m doing IB but we don’t have any events that we have to go to.
@athenanv13 same thing wow. Also I was wondering, do you know if we will be able to superscore our old SAT scores with our new ones? I assume not, because the scoring will be different.
@coffeeaddicted I don’t think so. I went to an information session held by UNC-CH recently, and they specifically told everyone that they would not super score the old SAT with the new one. While I don’t know if every school won’t superscore them, I’m sure most won’t.
To you all struggling with Critical Reading on the old SAT-- the SAT Black Book helped me a lot here. The advice (there is a right answer; there is only one answer choice; the answer IS directly in the passage, no interpretation necessary) is basic, but it /works/.
Taking ACT in October and December. Math SAT 2 and possibly US History in June. That will be all. For my top school, they don’t require SAT 2’s if you do ACT so I’m glad. Everyone I know got 800 on Math 2 so I’m kind of under pressure but whatever.
I get my schedule tomorrow 
I feel like once I get my schedule, that’s when it really sinks in that junior year has officially started and it’s actually going to happen. Next year is going to be the most stressful year of my life
My first day of school is tomorrow (it’s technically Tuesday but I have to come to help the freshmen as a link leader (someone who leads freshmen seminars)).
I’m taking the ACT in September, Math Level 2 and PSAT in October, and probably Bio and Lit SAT 2 in May/June.
We don’t get our schedules till the second day of school. I wish I could get it sooner.
@athenanv13 I’m a Link Leader at my school too! Ours is a week before school starts, though, so next Monday.
Do you think, with supplemental material, I could take the World History SAT if the course is only a semester? I did not have room for AP World on my schedule. If so, what books would you all recommend?
@dsi411 wow on the second day of school!!. I don’t know about your school but my school gas so many schedule mess ups. Last year, counselors were still fixing schedules in October, halfway through the semester!!! This year they decided to hand out schedules at the end of the last year
@topaz1116 that’s sooooo cool!!!
@greeneggsandsam9 I used the Strayer textbook, but using a prep book like Princeton review our barons is fine, they cover all the detail. if you want to save some money get the prep books and you will do fine without the textbook. Good luck!
