I took the biology-e, math, and chemistry subject tests. I did well on biology and math but terrible on chemistry. what do i do?
Answers
I'd say you should do one of two things, depending on the situation.
If the schools you're applying to require three subject tests, or require a test in chemistry, then you should try to study up on the areas you need help in and retake the test. That way you can report 3 strong scores to your schools. If you just think chem isn't the test for you, then take another subject test. Given that you already have a good bio and math score, you should look good to any science program. Proving that you can score well on an English, History, or Foreign Language SAT 2 would improve your application a lot.
If the schools you're applying to don't require 3 tests, then just don't worry about it. Good scores on two SAT 2s already looks good to most places.
Hope that helps!
