Biology SAT II POST-EXAM discussion!

<p>haha what else is new. we'd pretty much all have 800s or 790s if that curve held true though</p>

<p>780 E. The curve was harsh? :-/ I had a feeling I did alright, but I probably missed about 4-6 with no omits.</p>

<p>haha yayy, thats the highest score i've heard so far. congrats :DD
i think you got a lot less wrong than 6 though to get that, good job</p>

<p>I got a 740 M....=<em>= Is this considered ok for a sophomore.. ></em>></p>

<p>Haha, thanks! I had no clue the curve was so harsh. Man, that sucks for all of us. Wasn't the May curve pretty bad as well? Yeah, I'm glad I took this sophmore year. :-/ Taking three in one day would be pretty bad.</p>

<p>lol sheesh u guys are sophs.. im a junior and pulled a 760 M but i really really wanted at least a 780
congratss to both, and yes 740 is good for sophomoreness haha</p>

<p>I got a 760 in E. I took it as a rising junior.</p>

<p>i got 780...was aiming for 800...but i am still HAPPY...</p>

<p>Arg. I now have to waste $25 dollars to retake it <em>sniff</em>
I'm going to memorize everything in my damn test book lol.
I haven't told my dad yet but he'll kill me and declare that my hopes for an Ivy League are over. <em>sigh</em></p>

<p>Man, I took it as a rising sophomore but it doesn't matter squat because I'm graduating with the class of 2007. Eh. </p>

<p>Anybody with 780+ who took the M? ^^ Maybe the E was graded a little bit more easily than the M....? or maybe I'm just stupid.</p>

<p>threepointone, I know exactly how you feel TT_TT</p>

<p>The lowest exam score I got in Barron's and the 10 Real SAT IIs was a 790.
But man, a 750.....Wow....How did this happen!? lol
I guess I'm just stupid. I knew I should've taken it in October. Damn myself.</p>

<p>M is usually graded more harshly than E because (note: this is NOT my personal opinion, i've only heard it from word of mouth) "all the smart people take M because it's harder, so most of the people who take E wind up getting lower grades because they're less intelligent or prepared, and thus E has a more generous curve than M"</p>

<p>pls dont give me shyt for this guys lol i dont even know if i believe it, im just sharing what i heard. i know i personally didnt take E because i hate ecology and find it semi-difficult</p>

<p>^ Me too o_o I don't know squat about ecology..but I guess I didn't know that much more in Molecular lol.</p>

<p>lol the molecular didnt even have anything to do with molecularness haha. there was no photo/respiration reactions and nothing with macromolecules or properties of molecules/elements so i wouldnt even call it molecular. and i would think the wave length questions at the end would be more ecology related but hey, thats just me</p>

<p>750 E, its right on the benchmark of no retakes. So I'm wasting no more money.</p>

<p>freaking BS for me.... I left 2 blank and was sure I only got 3-4 wrong... and I ended up with a 700.... biggest BS ever....</p>

<p>umm yeah i did get a 800 for bio e. so did my two classmates who took bio m. but we're all internationals so i guess we are better prepared since our syllabus is different.</p>

<p>or maybe u guys are just smarter ;)</p>

<p>Hmm... I had time to look at both molecular and ecology, and I circled the answers to the questions I was sure of in both sections, and made my decision from there. I realized I knew more 'for sure' ones in the ecology section, only because of some of the weird ones that popped up in molecular that threw me off. So I did ecology. Plus I'd heard they had an easier curve, so how can you lose, really. Haha.</p>

<p>lol i was gonna do that, with the comparing both sections. but the thing is i actually really am bad at ecology cause that unit sort of got cut off by the end of the year so i didnt wanna risk it or waste time</p>

<p>i haven't gotten my score yet...but what would you guys predict for the following set-up:</p>

<p>3 wrong
1 blank</p>
