<p>Is there any difference between Barron's SAT Biology book and their AP one? Material-wise, depth-wise? I'm also really worried because I've studied Biology in another language and I've only read through the material in SAT's book twice. I'm afraid I'm going to screw up by not being able to translate plant names or forgetting phyla names and... yeah.</p>
<p>Would you say Barron's SAT Bio practice tests are harder than the real thing? If I scored a 700 on Barron's M do you think I'd be able to score one on the real thing, too? </p>
<p>Would you say E or M is based more on facts and memorization?</p>
<p>ok so i just took the both barrons practice tests, and then the official CB blue book test.</p>
<p>test 1 in barrons i missed like 4, in test 2 i missed more than that so i stopped keeping track</p>
<p>in the blue book, which i took legitimately in 1hr, got -6 on the E section for a 780.</p>
<p>So, in comparision, the barrons felt a bit “off” compared to the CB one. the real SAT will most likely be a bit easier than barrons</p>
<p>personally, I think M is more memorization. they ask about specifics with NADP(H) and O2 and ATP and all that. I got many more wrong on M than the E part, but maybe that’s just me. take the practice test of both and see what you like better</p>
<p>Barron’s SAT is definitely harder than the real thing. Check out Princeton Review if you can and take the practice tests in it. Swear I had 6 questions from a practice test on the real thing.
I think I scored like 760 on Barron’s SAT bio on average but 800 M on the real thing.</p>
<p>Gratz on the score! 
Unfortunately I can’t get Princeton Review as I’d need to order it from ebay or amazon with slow-ish international shipping, and my test is tomorrow. Nevertheless, I hope I’m as lucky as you are with just Barron’s. </p>
<p>Question, though. Do you reckon I need to know which scientist did what experiment and stuff like that? It seems rather nit picky but it’s still in the book.Should I skim and scan before the test?</p>
