Biology Subject Test

<p>Do you reckon it's possible to score 800 in SATs II Biology without doing any science AP classes? I will just be revising from revision guides and that's it.</p>

<p>It’s entirely possible - I did it and so did others. Just get the Barron’s biology book, know everything in it, and you’ll be A-OK.</p>

<p>Thank you very much :)</p>

<p>Forgot to mention this - the Barron’s practice tests are ridiculously difficult. I was consistently scoring 660-680, without ever breaking 700, but the actual exam turned out to be much easier and I got an 800 on the Molecular exam (albeit with some luck.) I did a bit of research just now and people also recommend Princeton Review.</p>

<p>Biology is really a ton of memorization and an AP bio/chem class is absolutely not necessary, so don’t feel disadvantaged about not taking AP science classes.</p>

<p>Thank you again. Is the Princeton Review a revision guide like Barron’s? Would you recommend it for Math II as well?</p>

<p>Surely having ridiculously hard questions would prepare you for the exam even better?</p>

<p>I don’t really know what a revision guide means lol, sorry, but the Barron’s and PR books are the same in format, yes. They both offer explanations of the content you need to know and then have a few practice tests.</p>

<p>Math is a bit of a different story since it’s very repetition-based and the more problems you see and do, the better - I’d then recommend Dr. Chung’s, Barron’s, Princeton Review, and Kaplan, and pretty much anything else you can get your hands on - but Chung’s and PR should be the two books you must do if you want an 800.</p>

<p>lol Sometimes they do, but with concept/memorization-based exams like the bio SAT II, overly-difficult questions may not be as much help or may be unnecessary. Difficult questions are important to do for things like math or physics.</p>
