<p>Should I take AP Biology before take the SAT II for biology?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat, except I’m taking AP Bio senior year. So should I just wait until then (AKA take it during October?)</p>
<p>girl,^ having one month of AP biology will not give you a great advantage. I would take it in June, or not take it at all.</p>
<p>I’m taking AP biology junior year. Would that help my SAT II Biology?</p>
<p>AP Biology is key to getting the 800. This is why… the SAT II biology will ask many questions that will not be in your review books. That is why a normal honors biology course + say Princeton review will get you like at most a 750. An AP background will help you answer these obscure questions. I suggest Cliffs AP Biology book + AP biology + practice tests + some more books lol. An 800 in Biology is very hard; in may some really weird questions about active/passive immunity and the ear showed up, screwing many people over. I’ll admit I learned the ear stuff in my AP biology class, but no one really remembers that minor stuff… and active/passive immunity is only covered in some AP review books (this concept was not even taught in my AP biology class). So that’s why you need “luck,” hopefully you won’t encounter questions testing topics not learned in review books and your AP biology class…</p>
<p>^just what I formulated from taking AP bio, and studying using SAT II prep books</p>
<p>hmmm i got 800 on Bio M in january using mostly PR and Kaplan without taking ap bio course but i think i failed the ap test =O. so i guess its doable without an ap class</p>
