<p>Hi, I am taking my first SAT subject test this May for biology. I just bought the Princeton Review book, so how do you recommend studying for the test using the book? Should I just read it? Should I take notes on all the chapters?</p>
<p>There are a variety of study methods; just come up with one that works well for you.</p>
<p>Personally, I like to jot notes in the margins summarizing pertinent facts and things I tend to forget. Even if the info’s already in the book, just writing it down reinforces it in my memory, and having my notes it in the book instead of a separate notebook means you have everything you need in just one book.</p>
<p>Flashcards are also an excellent study tool.</p>
<p>Highlight the book and make marginal notes. PR usually has review questions at the end of each chapter, right? So do those and make sure you’ve gotten them all right (if you get something wrong, go back to the material and restudy that) before you move on to the next chapter.</p>
<p>I prefer studying by simply reading through the book a first time, taking a practice test, then going back and carefully reviewing material that you are having trouble with based on the questions that you got wrong.</p>
<p>Oh, my, goodness. The PR book is the ABSOLUTE BEST for SAT II Biology, and I dare for anyone to say otherwise! I got a 770 from that book, and I didn’t even take a practice test, I just read the review questions at the end of each section and read the answers to the practice tests. If you actually do it, you’re guaranteed to hit at least 750+. </p>
<p>Also, five of the questions I saw in the practice tests were ridiculously similar to some I saw in the actual SAT II, so please pay attention to each question!</p>
