<p>I'm taking Biology E/M this year on the May date right before I take my AP Biology test on the Monday afterwards. I'm a pretty good Biology student and have read Campbell throughout the year. I am using Cliff's AP (the recommended by all book) to study for the AP test. What is the difficulty level of the subject test? Can I get a high/perfect score only by using Cliff's AP or do I need other books in order to prep?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>I'm doing same thing as you. Read campbell, barrons AP, prolly read pr sat2 soon. im positive i can get an 800.. just see how much you know, take a practice test.</p>
<p>bumpin it up.</p>
<p>Really wasn't too bad at all. For AP USH compared to the SAT II USH, I found that the SAT II turned out to be a beefed up version of the AP MC section.</p>
<p>On the Bio SAT II, however, I found that the questions were really straight forward. Think broad in nature, rather than super detailed and specific. I took the SAT II for practice the following year before really reviewing, and I was planning on canceling it, but I felt great and got a 790. Cliffs was very good prep, and you are looking at a 750+. Before the AP I used Cliffs/Barrons/PR/5 Steps, and got to the stage where I was emailing the publishers about mistakes in their books (of course not Cliffs!). If anything just read Cliffs, Barrons, and your set. Have fun.</p>
<p>Most of all, if you enjoy the subject and actually understand it - you will do very well.</p>
<p>I didn't use any prep books and my normal AP bio textbook to study...basically I just relied on my classwork to guide my score. I wasn't a very good student either, I got D's and C's on some tests...</p>
<p>I took both E and M, receiving 750 and 740 respectively. I wasn't fully prepped for either of those tests-not to be cocky but I probably could have scored 770+ on both =/</p>
<p>I would definetely take the Sat II Bio E/M test (wait until test day to see which question set is easier; you'll have time) if you're taking the AP test as well. It's debatable but I found the AP test to be a notch easier than the Sat II tests. Needless to say, unless you're struggling in AP Bio, you should be taking both tests.</p>
<p>Best of luck to you.</p>
<p>its better to know one book well, then 2 books mediocre</p>
