<p>I hate physics e/m. I don't mind Biology as much but here's the thing. I took biology Freshmen year and Physics sophomore year. I'm going into senior, so Biology is wayyy in the back of my head right now.</p>
<p>During the summer I want to study for either of these tests. I want to know which one is easier. Again, I hate physics e/m</p>
<p>Look at practice tests for both to come to a conclusion. I've never looked at the Physics test, so I can't comment much about that test, but having glanced over the Biology exam, I would say it's pretty easy. I've taken two years of biology though, one of which was AP though. I don't know if relying on my freshman year biology course would've been ample preparation.</p>
<p>sorry I didn't clarify, I always take AP courses when avalible so I refer Honors Bio or AP bio as just bio.</p>
<p>I took Honors Bio (pretty much AP Bio) when I was a freshmen</p>
<p>Hmm, I still stand by my original point that you should look into taking a practice test for both and see which you could potentially score higher on. Collegeboard has a few sample questions up from each test on the website too. Look at it. No one knows your strengths, so none of us can really advise you on which would be a better test to take.</p>
<p>Biology scares me right now. Almost every question talks about something that sounds slightly familiar but I have no idea about. I don't feel like going through the entire biology course through out the summer. But then again, I'll be taking Bio 211 at the local university in the fall, so it'd be good preparation. Also, I'm studying for the chem SAT II. If I'm really crazy, I'll study for the SAT I, math II, Bio, Chem and Physics... That doesn't sound fun but it does sound like it'll whip me into shape to become one of those science freaks.</p>
<p>Four SAT II's? Just concentrate your efforts on two! (Or three, if the college you want requires that many.)</p>
<p>I think a college-level biology class would be GREAT preparation for the SAT II Biology. Why not just wait until after the class to take that exam?</p>
<p>the class is 1 semester long, I don't think that they would accept SAT II scores after the first semester...</p>
<p>also, now that I think of it, physics and chem have more similarities. The main thing would be getting over the magnetic and electronic stuff that I hate.</p>
<p>i took both ap phyics b and bio ap this year (junior year) and I took one sparknotes practice test for bio-m and got 770.. i decided to take bio-e for some stupid reason in may and got 800...</p>
<p>then i took physics in june but i didn't prepare for that at all.. but i took four practice tests from kaplan and got all 800s...</p>
<p>for bio i used cliffsAP to prepare but physics is easy after you have completed the course... bio is easy if you've taken AP but with reg really far back I doubt you would do well on it...</p>
<p>Yeah, swoop is completely correct. While I prudently avoided taking the Biology subject test after my freshman year, some peers who took it reported abnormally low (given their intelligence) scores in the 400-500 range. That pretty much sucks now that they have such a low score on their transcript when applying to college :(</p>
