Easiest SAT II Science?

<p>Anyone know what the easiest SAT II science is? I won't be able to take any AP classes on sciences in time to take the SAT II for it. So, can anyone tell me which would be easiest to take if I had a honors class and SAT II books to study from? Also, what books are best to study from?</p>

<p>Anyone, plz I'm in much need of assistance.</p>

<p>I would think Bio, but I have no idea, Chem i hear is hard and Physics is too.</p>

<p>which science have you been the strongest in? and why do you need to take a science SAT2 anyway?</p>

<p>i hear chem is the easiest, i took bio and it was hard (630)</p>

<p>anyone know for sure? Plz, I really need your advice.</p>

<p>Come on....which is easier with hardly any experience bio or chem?</p>

<p>i'd say bio, but that just me!</p>

<p>I took chemistry and physics (both 800s), and to me, physics was <em>much</em> easier. Less knowledge of the subject is required, the questions are very basic, and there is an incredible curve (apparently, you can miss up to 10 or so and still get an 800) - which, given the test material, it's hard to believe anybody needs.</p>

<p>The only negative comments that I have heard about physics deal with the time limit: apparently, quite a few people have trouble finishing the test within the hour provided, or are unable to check their work. I didn't experience this - I finished in about 25 min. - but I'm generally fast with reading and math, which helps with tests like these. If time is normally not an issue for you, I strongly advise that you take the SAT II physics.</p>

<p>Chemistry has a much less generous curve, which is ironic, since to me it seems that wrong answers on the chemistry test should be far more commonplace. The "relationship analysis" questions are sometimes confusing, and memorization is far more important than for the physics test.</p>

<p>The only other possible problem for physics (although I don't know anyone who has been in this situation) could be that your honors class isn't comprehensive enough. Many honors physics classes don't cover very much; the SAT II Physics covers essentially the same range of topics as AP Physics B.</p>

<p>If you are genius in math, physics should be a piece of cake.
Otherwise, I'd say bio.</p>

<p>Bio M - I got a 710 in 9th grade - lol.</p>

<p>crypto: did you have a really intensive honors bio that you got a 710? Did you do outside studying? Also, whats the curve like on bio?</p>

<p>I did some outside studying. I was on NJ Science League, so our school's Bio I team had "practices" once a week and we learned extra content. But mostly I just did practice tests in my Barrons SAT II book. Our class was pretty advanced for 9th grade but bio has always come pretty easy to me. Here's the topics for NJ Science League for Bio I:</p>

<p>BIOLOGY I For Honor’s Enriched or College Prep. Not for AP or Second year. </p>

<p>January - cell structure, metabolism, enzymes, experiments, inorganic/organic compounds, photosynthesis, respiration, philosophy/history, structure of matter, diffusion, energy, ATP/P, measurement, pH, microscope.</p>

<p>February - classification, mitosis/meiosis, genetics, DNA/RNA, evolution, virus, experiments, cell structure, philosophy/history, photosynthesis, anaerobic/aerobic respiration, bacteria.</p>

<p>March - animal structure/function/systems, plant structure/function/systems, cycles, evolution, embryology, reproduction, history/philosophy, experiments, fungi, algae, ecology, disease, mitosis/meiosis.</p>

<p>April - human anatomy &physiology, nutrition, enzymes, embryology, populations, animal/plant behavior, ecology, cycles, regulation/homeostasis, disease, experiments, philosophy/history.</p>

<p>bio (10 characters)</p>

<p>wow, that is so much practice. I definetly do not have time to study that much. Will just having taken honors bio and studying topics in barrons be good enough. has anyone done this and still achieved a score of 700+.</p>

<p>dood...its chem for sure. Bio ..dayum..i thought it was hard. didn't take physics though..but Chem was definitely easier than i thought..much easier than bio. 760 on Chem..650 on Bio.</p>

<p>I've heard bio is really easy. Chem is easy if you know the material/understand the test format.</p>

<p>this is ridiculous. Half of you are like Bio and the other half are like Chem. Which is it. Keep in mind I have barely any knowledge on either subject.</p>

<p>why don't you skim some test books and see which would seems like it would be easier to study for from your p.o.v. personally, i'd vote for biology, the one that focuses more on populations and not the micro one.</p>

<p>does anyone know if chem or bio has the bigger curve?</p>
