<p>Should I take SAT 2 in October or November?
Likewise, should I take SAT 1 in October or November?</p>
<p>Does it make a difference?</p>
<p>SAT I - every school needs it.</p>
<p>SAT II - some selective schools need it.</p>
<p>So if you dont have a SAT 1 score and you are graduating high school in 2012, then you better start with SAT I.</p>
<p>I’ve actually already taken the SAT 1, I’m planning to retake it to improve my scores from 1890 to a 2000+. Does the curve differ between these two months?</p>
<p>Curve is dependent on the test itself and not when you take it (probably some what also based on total taking the test). No one depends on the score going up based on a curve to time a test. </p>
<p>It will help someone who is already scoring 2300 and wants to get an extra 30 points or something like that using a curve. It wont help much if you are further down in the curve since those numbers won’t change much for one or two additional mistakes.</p>
<p>Essentially, the curve helps people who are almost perfect in a section. If you are making 5-10 mistakes in a section, it does nt affect you at all.</p>
<p>All of your preparation for the SAT I carries over to the SAT Subject test. So I strongly recommend that you practice for the SAT I, take it first, then spend the following month preparing for the Subject Test, and take it one month later. </p>
<p>All of the same SAT specific strategies that you should be using for the SAT I work on the Subject Test. So for the most part, when you prepare for the Subject Test you should just be applying the strategies you already know to the more advanced subject matter (although depending on your skill with the more advanced material you may have to review some of the more advanced topics, and memorize a list of formulas).</p>
