<p>i'm taking subject tests in a week and dont know which one to take. I'm in AP bio and have an A, will that prepare me enough for the SAT II. Also, which one is easier? and which one looks better on college apps?</p>
<p>Thanks a bunch</p>
<p>they look the same to colleges.
if you like molecular stuff like memorizing all the mono,di, and polysaccharides. then take M</p>
<p>if you like answering population, community, biome questions, choose E.</p>
<p>E is way easier in my opinion, most of the questions are just common sense.</p>
<p>Last year, I took M, and my friend took E. She had questions about a food web (like, fifth grade stuff), while I had questions making me identify different types of viruses and bacteria (like retroviruses). That being said, I believe that E is easier. But if you have an A in AP Biology, you should be OK either way.</p>
<p>If you really have trouble deciding, you could borrow a SAT Biology study guide from the library and take a diagnostic test to see which one you do better on.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if colleges think either is better than the other, but I would assume not. Good luck on your test! :)</p>
<p>While question difficulty is always an important consideration, also bear the following in mind: The SATs have CURVES. From what I have heard, the Molecular test nearly always has an easier curve than the Ecology test (and on a test as popular as Biology, the curve can be very important.)</p>
<p>If you feel relatively comfortable with molecular, I would suggest taking it.</p>
<p>I would actually suggest taking molecular.
my counselor said that kids often get a higher score w/ that. </p>
<p>i don't know though.</p>
<p>Anyone know the exact curve for molecular and ecology
Is it -4 = 800 on Molecular
and -3 = 800 on ecology</p>
