In fact, if you're smart you'll try your damndest *NOT* to take both on the
same day.  From first had experience I can tell you that after sitting through
the general exam, burnout is a very realistic possibility by the time you get
part way through the subject exam.  Also, I didn't see where the original
poster was posting from, but if its New York, you're probably aware that most
of the exams are not offered because of disclosure laws.  So you should
consider the effects of time spent travelling to get to the exam in the first
place.

On the other hand, taking 'em both on one day and being satisfied with your
results means (hopefully) never having to experience the exams again :-) .
