SUBJEST TESTS |
A few universities require Three Subject Tests. Most Require Two and some do not require these tests.
The logical time to take these tests is after completing the highest level course at S.I.S. (Ex. Biology Subject Test after A.P. Biology)

A.P. Exams |
A.P. Exams for courses not offered at S.I.S. do not appear on transcripts. All S.I.S. AP courses are approved by College Board.
It is not logical to take an A.P. exam outside of SIS before taking the course offered at SIS (Ex. Taking the A.P. exam in chemistry outside of outside of SIS before taking the SIS AP course at SIS is not logical.)
To enroll in A.P. courses at SIS includes recommendations from the teachers of pre-requisite courses. (Ex. To enroll in A.P. chemistry a recommendation from your chemistry teacher is required.)
Time should be devoted to excelling in SIS courses and not in preparing for standardized tests in advance of the logical time to take them.
