<p>How do I decide which Bio SAT II to take?</p>
<p>I am very interested in molecular biology and research, but I am taking both ecology and AP environmental science this year. Should I take a subject test that portrays my interests better, or should I take one that covers information fresher in my mind?</p>
<p>Take both and submit the better score if you’re unsure, that’s what I’m doing. :P</p>
<p>Only the last 15 questions (might be 25) are different…take practice tests and see which one you score higher in.</p>
<p>Or take both, shows commitment to biology.</p>
<p>Take the one you will score higher on. You can’t take both at the same time because the college board is too lazy to write another 60 core questions. But you can take the other one next cycle.</p>
<p>Just do the E-specific and M-specific questions after the core questions, see which you feel you know better, and then choose that one spontaneously. Remember that you can register for one test and take another on test day.</p>
<p>So, if you look at the questions for both, you’ll know which you’ll do better on. Obviously if you prepare for one extensively, you will most likely do better on that one, unless you have a strong background in both already.</p>
<p>You are actually supposed to choose M or E before you start the test and before you see the questions. Obviously, no one will ever know you chose afterwards, but just letting you know.</p>
<p>Take E if you are comfortable with ecosystems, food chains, cycles, biomes…
Take E if you are comfortable with biochem, cell organelles, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, ATP, bacteria… </p>
<p>I honestly took both, then erased E out and circled M after I finished the test
I took it on December 1
and I haven’t received the scores yet
I HATE COLLEGE BOARD</p>
<p>If you take AP Biology, you’re going to have finished Biology Molecular in the first semester, so take Biology M?</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
