Im planing on taking the SAT 2 test for math A and i cant find a practice exam. Does anyone have a link or website where i could find it?

alright, so my question is can u take the SAT 2 Subject Test(s) more than once like you can the SAT 1 and the ACT? also, when sending the scores to universities, how exactly does the "choosing" work? like say i took 2 SAT Subject Tests that i did really well in, but 1 im not satisfied with (and All on the same day)… then i take the SAME 3 a few months later and do the opposite. meaning i do good on the one i did badly in last time, and then do bad on the other 2. Would i be able to pick the 3 that i want by mixing up the tests? like choosing one from one day, and 2 from another test day? or is it like, if i send 1 i have to send ALL the others that i took on that day too? just wondering

I am about to take my chem SAT 2 and i am at the stage where i am taking practice tests. Which book offers the most realistic SAT Tests?
Barron’s, Kaplan, or Princeton Review? Are the Borron’s tests really harder than the real SAT?

Thank you all for your help!

im a sophomore right now and i took the psat. i didnt do too well. im not even sure how to read the darn thinganyways. when should i start studying and what are some good SAT schools i could go to. any tips would be really helpful. should i start buying thos sat books and vocab flashcards? maybe doing a sat course online.. learn latin? does that help with the vocab? what to do?! tell me what you know. and is the SAT reasoning test. isnt that the same as just SAT test? im new to this. and im really worried bout what to do. ireally want to do good on this test. does studying independent help much? or with a group. is it bad to have a high GPA but do bad on the SAT? and when should i start taking SAT 2? and AP testing. how can i study for that. i have APeuropean history.

I did my SATs in my junior year, and I ordered only one copy of the score reports for the SAT 1 and SAT 2.

Now I’ve just started senior year and I am beginning the university applications process. All the universities want a genuine copy (not a photocopy or online version) of the score report, but I only have one! How am I supposed to get additional score reports of the tests I’ve done 6 months back?

P.S. I also have the same problem with my ACT score report as well.

Well, I am a junior and have taken chemistry and biology science classes in my previous years. Now, I have to take the SAT 2 subject test in like 2 months, maybe. And I am really confused about which subject test should I take. SAT 2 bio or SAT 2 chemistry. I heard that SAT2 chem is generally advisable only if you have taken AP chemistry class, (which I have not). So, is bio good for me? And I also heard that bio is probably a lot easier that chemistry subject test . And, if yes, bio m or bio e? which one is the easier ? And when should i take it ? how many months of preparation is recommended?..And will it really need me to study a lot ???
Please help me . Thanks . help appreciated .

I am a student going to prepare for the ACT test. I have studied the SAT but never the ACT. Therefore, I have a few questions I would like to ask. Any help is appreciated.

1. How hard is the ACT in comparison to the SAT?
2. What is the hardest section on the ACT?
3. Are any of the sections similar to the SAT sections?
4. (MOST IMPORTANT) What is the best, and ONLY the BEST, ACT prep books out there that I should get? (Besides the Real ACT Test Prep Guide. I know its the best, but I’m talking about other prep books.)

thanks!
