Has anyone taken 3 sat iis on the same day? If I plan to do this, will I be way burned out by the end and not do well..? How was your guys' experiences with this?

I only took the Writing test, and I took that once in a single sitting, and I wasn't even burnt out by the end. I could have taken a couple more if I were well prepared for them. You get to choose what order you take your tests in, if that makes you feel any better.

I took all 3. It really depends on what you can handle; I'm used to long tests (several timed SAT-I practice) so it wasn't a problem for me. I did well on pretty much all of them as well.

As long as you don't worry about the other two when you're on one test... it should not make much difference.

I did writing first, math IC to get it out of the way, and saved the U.S. History (which I rock at) for the end.

Looking back, I think I would have saved the math until the end; I was upset after I finished the math so I had a hard time concentrating on the history at first. Then again, it didn't really affect anything; I finished that one 15 minutes early-after checking it too.

I would do writing-if you're taking it you have to take that first- then if the two subjects that will follow aren't toooo heinous for you, do both. If you absolutely hate Math or German or whatever and it's one of the only ones you can take because that's all you have preparation for, I would advise you to just take one other test in addition to your 1st one. Hope that helped.

Twinkletoes - i took the same exact ones! Tenniz, it's not that bad. just make sure you sleep a lot and eat well beforehand. it shouldn't be that bad, just a little tiring. best of luck!

Taking three SAT IIs on one day is no problem for anyone who has taken full length SAT Is in one sitting. I can say that from personal experience, since I ended up getting my best SAT II score on the third exam I took on a particular testing date.
My advice on taking multiple SAT IIs on a single day is to take your best subjects first. That way you will go into your harder tests with more confidence, and after getting warmed up.
