<p>In your opinion, which is the easiest science SAT? Asking because my school's science department is a joke and I'd really like to get a good score... </p>
<p>Same issue with my school. Everyone in AP Physics has an A or A+ cause we’re allowed to retake everything and some people just take the retakes home and search the answers on them to get 100’s on the retake… Anyway AP Physics has the best curve (10-12 wrong for an 800 out of 75), but I heard Bio might be easier because its all “memorization” or something. Chem is pretty hard though so I wouldn’t advise that.</p>
<p>Physics has best curve. 65/75 - 800</p>
<p>Physics SAT II is also the hardest test.</p>
<p>If you’re able to spend some money on a couple of prep books you can easily prep for any of the exams. If you’re good at memorization, bio is the way to go; physics is definitely the most difficult one and may require a lot of effort to understand, so don’t rely too much on the curve. Chem is more in the middle with some memorization and some concepts.</p>
<p>Lastly, I can’t stress this enough - most of the time you will do better on the subjects you like.</p>
<p>No SAT II is inherently easier than the rest. Just pick the one you know best. (awesome rhyming skills)</p>
<p>Physics would be the easiest to self study because it all depends on how well your foothold is in the concepts. I was able to teach myself electrostatics enough to answer all the questions that required it. But when I say self study, I mean “fill in the gaps”. Physics in general is A FREAKING TON of material. I could never have taught myself everything, 99% of what I used on the test I learned in my rigorous class. </p>
<p>BIOLOGY! Well I mean I got a better score in Physics cuz of the low curve, but I still found Biology easier. o.o</p>
<p>Also, if you’re not ab effin Chem Genius (Like Breaking Bad good), DO NOT TAKE CHEM. </p>
<p>Okay maybe the Breaking Bad part was too much, but point stated. </p>
<p>and @BassGuitar , </p>

</p>
<p>I beg to differ. I mean I self studied Physics in 2 months (my Physics class was a joke, really /
) and I found it okay. A little overwhelming, but doable all the same. ( I am no CC Einstein) </p>
<p>That’s impressive. How do you think (or know) you fared on the test?</p>
<p>What books do you recommend for bio and physics? </p>
<p>what’s the curve like for bio?</p>
<p>Curve for bio is difficult. Physics is much more generous. I suggest whichever you are better at; I’m sure colleges are well aware of curves and percentiles on all. Take practice tests and choose one that seems best for you.</p>
<p>My total prep for physics was 5 papers and i got a 800. Its easy until you really (forgive me for saying this) hate physics. </p>
<p>Though my schooling is in India. We were taught all of the stuff that came in grade 11 and in quite depth (I mean it). I dont know how american schools work.</p>
<p>If not physics i would say maths or chem. I managed a 730 on chem test without prep. (Gave it just like that on the day of exam itself).</p>
<p>I didn’t take Bio so I can’t give it a rank, but I assume that it won’t be hard if u have a good memory.</p>
<p>From my own experience, Chemistry is the easiest, and Physics is the hardest. However, in Physics test, u may get 8 questions wrong but still get 800, while in Chemistry, having more than 4 questions wrong will hurt ur score (and there are 85 questions in Chemistry and 75 in Physics). </p>
<p>I self-studied for chem and got a 740. Curve is tough. </p>
<p>From what I’ve heard, everyone and their mother takes Chemistry, since it’s a required class )unlike Physics) that’s often taken in Junior year when kids take SATs. As a result, tons of competition and a brutal curve. You’ll get squashed by the test takers who’ve taken AP Chem. (same with AP Physics B, dang collegeboard curriculum)</p>
