<p>I don’t want to take any SAT II’s this year (junior year) because I need to focus on my grades and my SAT I coming up this March. Is it recommended/possible to take all my SAT II’s (Math I or IIC, U.S. History, Italian) during Senior year?</p>
<p>It’s possible, not really recommended though, because you’ll be cramming a LOT into that first semester of senior year (with classes, SAT IIs, apps, recs, essays, etc). Another thing to consider - if you’re taking US History this year, you might be a little bit rusty if you don’t take the SAT II until next school year.</p>
<p>Ideally, you should take the SAT IIs on the June test date. That way, you won’t have as much of the stress of school, plus you’ll have already studied for your finals in the classes anyway, making all of the material fresh in your mind.</p>
<p>I took SAT II’s in October and November of my senior year. It worked out very well for me.</p>
<p>i took 3 sat2’s on the november test date (its my senior year) it was just fine</p>
<p>The typical recommended plan is to take one of the subject tests, like US History or Biology, right after you take the class, in May or June. The Writing and Math can go along with them, or taken at a later date, but the nonrequired tests should be taken after you take the class and associated ap test so that the info is fresh in your mind.</p>
<p>its up to how much stress your willing to put up with on one day. for me, one sat ii was enough for one day, so i spread em all out so i didnt hafta take more than one on one day. also take em early, in case you hafta retake one. but it just depends on whenever ur comfortable.</p>
<p>I learned such a thing as an SAT II EXISTED at the beginning of summer last year. So I was a bit screwed… I took it once this school year(with a summer between me and a physics course) and got really good scores. On the Math and Writing I’d say if you are gonna get good scores, you’re gonna get good scores no matter when you take it; Physics for me was lame (I studied my BUTT off for that test) but it’s totally do-able in the beginning of senior year. One SAT II is usually enough, but you CAN fit in two SAT I’s and two SAT II’s before college apps have to go out. So strive to leave yourself some re-taking time.</p>
<p>I think my plan will be to take U.S history in June, which makes sense since I’ll be studying for the AP in April/May anyway and I’ll still have a couple of weeks to prepare for the SAT II. Math I will definitely take senior year so I have the summer to prepare for IIC instead of doing IC lamely. Writing isn’t going to be required of me since I’m taking the new SAT. We’ll see about the others!</p>
<p>Thanks! :)</p>
