Books for Bio SAT II

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>Ok, I have been using Barrons SAT book to prepare for the bio sat,
and on the practice tests I got 710, 730. </p>

<p>On the other hand, when I took Kaplan's practice test, I got 670...
apprently the emphasis are different for each book... like behaviours (imprinting)...</p>

<p>so would anyone tell me which book has the most "accurate" practice tests that resembles the actual SAT test?</p>

<p>kaplan is crap in a book. i hate kaplan and am never buying another kaplan book. that should give you an indication of what i think of it</p>

<p>These books have wildly different curves. With princeton review, I was getting around 720. With Kaplan, I got around 750. With barrons, 780. I ended up getting an 800 on the test. Basically I would suggest taking as many practice tests as you can from different sources, and make sure you understand why you got each question wrong.</p>

<p>hmm, which book is the best book for reviewing the materials?</p>

5

<p>barrons for reviewing the material</p>

<p>princeton for most accurate tests</p>

<p>Honestly, use Cliffs AP Bio to study material for the SAT 2 Bio. And take Princeton Review's tests. PR's tests are JUST like the real thing. I got a 790 on PR and got a 790 on the real deal as well.</p>

<p>Princeton Review and Barron's are both great. Kaplan is HORRIBLE.</p>

<p>Studying from an AP book for SATII bio isn't the best thing. Obviously, it will help a lot, but you should still read the satii book and take some practice tests. The AP goes much more in depth, but the satii covers more topics. Also, imo the satii questions are trickier than the ap questions.</p>

<p>Yeah Kaplan is garbage in everything basically.</p>

<p>I used AP books to review the material. I think Princeton Review has the most accurate practice tests. Take as many practice tests as you can from as many different books as you can, and you should be able to get a fairly accurate range.</p>

<p>I used the Cliff's AP Bio review. It covered everything pretty well, and I got a 4. But if I had just studied more, I think I could've gotten a 5.</p>
