<p>What do you all think about the Biology M curve? How many can you get wrong for a 740 or above?</p>
<p>Depends on the time you take it. I got one wrong and got a 790 while I've heard people get 2 wrong and still have an 800. I wouldn't get more than 7 wrong if you want that kind of score, but it really depends. A harsh curve could kill you.</p>
<p>what is a good biology score for like USC or UPENN or other 7 year medical programs</p>
<p>yeah i would like to know for combined programs</p>
<p>750-800.
Ten characters.</p>
<p>would that be a good benchmark for the other SAT II's?</p>
<p>Yep. It's a good benchmark for the SAT I as well.</p>
<p>thanks kwu</p>
<p>Penn does not have a 7 year med program.</p>
<p>I took the Bio M last year and I didn't study after taking the AP exam in May and i got like 6 wrong I think and I ended up with only a 720.
Bio M is considered the easier of the Bio tests so a lot of people do really well on it</p>
<p>do more ppl take bio (or SATII's in general) on the may date or june?</p>
<p>^ (10 chars)</p>
<p>is the real test any harder than the practice questions on collegeboard (SAT</a> Subject Test in Biology) ??</p>
<p>Because those were really not bad at all.</p>
<p>yeah i would like to know as well</p>
<p>Take the test in the Real SAT II: Subject Tests book. It's amazingly accurate.</p>
<p>From a review on Amazon: "This book does what it says: it gives you one complete REAL SAT II test on every single subject EXCEPT Biology and Korean. Since many people take the Bio E/M test these days, this book is marred by the fact that it doesn't have a complete Bio E/M test (only half and not "REAL") and they seem to be easier than the actual test I took."</p>
<p>I'll probably just go to Barnes & Noble and do the test there ;)</p>
<p>Perhaps the test in the book is the old version, before they had separate E/M tests. All I remember (god, that was 4 years ago) is that I got the same score on the actual exam.</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree w/Theoneo. There aren't many released exams. I like Barron's, some are hard & some don't seem to be in the actual test format but the book is pretty comprehensive. A lot of people say that on the actual test there are some questions that never came up on prep books like Kaplans or Princeton Review. And SparkNotes sucks.</p>
<p>BTW, when are you taking it?</p>
<p>is PR first then combined w/ Barrons later a good choice?</p>
<p>and is sparknotes really that bad?</p>
<p>Yeah, PR is good but not very dense. It's kind of like a textbook. Barron's is highly rated but hard to understand if you want to learn only from test prep books. Kaplan's is the same as well.</p>
