Should I take the SAT Subject Tests? (More info click!)?

I took the SAT in March and got a 1930
I took the ACT today, I got 30′s on both my practice tests

Should I take the SAT subject tests as well? I have 3 AP tests in May in Chemistry, Statistics, and Euro. I feel like signing up for subject tests would be even more stressful to study for, especially if I really don’t need to.

So my question is, how important are subject tests to colleges? I know the majority of colleges don’t require them, but some recommend them. Any juniors/ seniors/ college students /adults that can give advice? Thanks!

SAT Subject Tests: Can you find answers online?

I remember after I took the SAT Reasoning, a few months later scores were online and I could check which answers I got right and wrong. Last June I took the SAT Subject Tests, and have seen my results. Is there any place on the SAT website where I can look over my answers to improve?

If not, how could I improve for them? (I took the Chemistry, Math 1, and Math 2.)

Will I have a good chance of getting into Medical School if I take these classes in High School?

I wanted to graduate Medical School when I’m older, and I want some advice on my classes; do you think I should switch some of these classes to a different one, and if so, what should I switch to? Oh, and my school doesn’t offer AP classes, Honors is the most advanced class they offer:

10th grade: English II honors, Biology honors, Algebra Il, History II honors, Spanish II honors, Composition I, and GYM/health.

11th grade: English III honors, Biology II, Trigonometry honors, Physics honors, Psychology, SAT preparation, Spanish III honors, GYM/health

12th grade: English IV honors, Spanish IV honors, Calculus honors, Chemistry, Anatomy & Physiology honors, Composition II, Microbilogy, Art, GYM/health.

Please, give me some advice! Should I switch around anything or add any other classes into this? I really want to go to Medical School…

SAT Subject Tests?

This Saturday I will be taking the subject tests in Math II, Biology E/M, and Chemistry.

Is there anything I can/need to do to prepare for any of these tests?
My preparation as far as classes goes:
Chemistry-I took honors Chemistry 2 years ago, this is probably the test that most worries me. What kind of things are on this test?
Biology-I took AP Bio last year, got a 5 on the AP test. I am planning on doing the Ecology section (because ecology in ap was way easier than molecular), but if the subject test for it is harder that would be useful to know.
Math-Alg 1, Geometry, Alg 2, PreCal (all honors). Currently taking AP CalAB. I might have forgotten some of the Geometry, but other than that I should be ok? (The PreCal was basically a review of Alg 2 then Trig.)

Any information as far as preparing goes would be appreciated, esp for Chem.

I would also like to know what kind of scores I should be aiming for if applying to the colleges which are just sub-ivy.

Thanks muchly.

What score can I expect on the ACT?

I want to know what I can expect to get on the ACT when I take it in June so i don’t get my hopes too high. I have somewhere between a 3.5-4.0 GPA, I’m in 10th grade, and I’m in honors classes. (currently taking Chemistry, Algebra 2, Accelerated English, and ACT Prep Courses fyi..since those are the subjects on the ACT)

SAT College Board Website!?

I just became a senior in high school, which I attend through a digital online academy. I need to sign up for the SAT being administered November 1st. I called someone from the school to ask what I should do and the woman gave me the school number that I would put in on collegeboard.com. I went to this website and made an account, but when I tried to sign up for the SAT it asked me strange questions. The website asked which tests I wanted to take, and on which subjects! From my understanding, the SAT is a test with reading, writing, and mathematics portions. Some of the subjects included things like chemistry and geology. Does anyone know anything about this? How do I sign up for the normal SAT test?

What SAT II test prep books are the best/most effective?

Based off of your own experience, perhaps?

I plan on taking the SAT II tests in French, Math II, and either Chemistry or Biology.

Which brand of books is the best to purchase for preparation?

What are the minimum SAT II Subject test scores for Rice University?

I am going to apply to Rice University this summer and am taking my SAT II Subject tests (one in Chemistry and one in Literature) very soon. As I’m preparing and taking practice exams my scores are around 650 (out of 800), is this good enough for Rice University? What can/should I do to improve?

I’ve checked out their college website and collegeboard, but both websites haven’t told me what score Rice finds acceptable for the SAT II Subject tests, I’ve only found information on the regular SAT I reasoning test. Please help!

unsure about taking spanish sat subject test?

i’m a junior in high school and have started thinking about colleges. as of now, i want to major in science. a lot of the schools i’m considering require two sat subject tests. i’ve already taken two–chemistry (770) and math II (670). honestly i’m not to happy with the math one and want to try again in a different subject; i’m good at math, but not that good, and it’s not my interest. i think i could do well in the spanish test but i’m not sure if it’s worth taking–do schools take the spanish test as seriously as they take other core subject tests like math/science? also i’m not a native speaker and wondering what a "good score" is on the test for a non-native speaker. right now on my practice tests i’m averaging 680-690 but i haven’t actually looked at my book’s tips for taking the test and am sure i can improve. also, is it better to take the listening or regular one?

thanks so much.
