Admissions: Taking a subject test after taking the regular, non AP/honors course

<p>I took Biology E after taking the regular high school biology course at my school. So will colleges look at my course placement and expect a lower score on the Biology E than my other peers or does my course placement does not matter and I must do well on all of my tests?</p>

<p>You must do well on all your tests. Mostly because the only difference between honors or regular is the amount of work they pile on you outside of class not the information you pick up. Besides the bio e exam is pretty straightforward concepts nothing to in depth that you couldn’t learn through self study for the exam in any of the practice books</p>

<p>You get no leverage for being in a lower level bio class. However, from what I have seen, most regular bio kids (with a B+ or A) get from 560(without tutoring) and 660 with extensive tutoring. But a kid in Honors bio usually get 700+.</p>

<p>So if I got a 690 in World History and took honors, it won’t go in my favor, because I’m supposed to get 700+?</p>
