<p>Title pretty much says it all. I assume the Barron's practice test is harder than the actual SAT 2 Biology test, but how much harder exactly? If anyone has taken both, I would greatly appreciate hearing about the difference between the two scores :)</p>
<p>Yeah, I know. While College Confidential is helpful it is also addictive and can exacerbate the tendency to procrastinate! Collegeboard=evil 
</p>
<p>Anyone else who has taken both?</p>
<p>I haven’t looked at bio since 2 years ago, but if memory serves me correctly, Barron’s SAT II Biology questions are inaccurate. Princeton Review had pretty good questions I think.</p>
<p>Thanks. I’ll try some of those tests tomorrow.</p>
<p>Charlie Brown: I saw your question in another thread so I PM’d you. About bio and such. :)</p>
<p>As for the practice tests in the Barrons book, they were extremely hard in comparison to the actual test. I remember scoring low 600s on one of their tests, but i got a 770 on the actual thing.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply NYEM. I’ve been scoring in the mid-high 600’s on Barron’s and am hoping for a 750+ on the real thing.</p>
<p>I scored 690,700,and 730 on Barron’s practice tests, and ended up with a 770.</p>
<p>There is a lot of detail in Barron’s. Do you guys think that I should know every single thing to get a high score ??</p>
<p>I don’t think you need all of it for the test, but you never know which parts of it will show up so it’s probably best to memorize it.</p>
<p>The review section for Barrons, however, was extremely detailed and after reading through it all, the actual test will be a breeze.</p>
<p>So the Barron’s is WAY more than the actual test. It doesn’t seem like that much sometimes…</p>
<p>So there are some terms I don’t even use in my Bio class. Thus, should I just know the main ideas ?? Will they test really in detail or just in general idea ?</p>
<p>I am really freaking out right now since I have like a week left and I am still at the chapter of plants. I still have human and animals to study. How hard the animal part is ??? Also, how much should I know about Ecology if I take Molecular part ?</p>
<p>Animals is only like 2 pages and they elaborate a little more in the next chapter. Human section is long… but a week should be enough. Take which ever one you do better one for the practice test.</p>
<p>From what I hear, M has a better curve. Is more memorization. While E is more general environmental knowledge.</p>
<p>I have a bio final so I have to review for it anyway, which is a neat thing. We don’t study animal diversity so I am novel to the terms and stuffs. That’s why I am worried. If they don’t require so much detail then I think I will be fine.</p>
<p>How much of the Ecology is there on the general part ??</p>
<p>Probably no more than 10 questions…</p>
<p>The ecology section really is pretty straight forward. I doubt you will have any issues if you look over a section in any of the major review books on it.</p>
