If i were to prep for the Bio Subject test, would it prepare me for the Bio AP test

Test Preparation
1

<p>If i were to prep for the Bio subject test and get lets say a 770</p>

<p>what should i get on the AP test if i took it</p>

<p>I'm not taking the bio2ap in my school (In bio 1H) but i'm prepping for the Subject test. (Bio 1 in my school goes over the same material as bio 2ap (just a little bit more in depth)).</p>

<p>Is the AP test easier/tougher?</p>

2

<p>oh and 40% of bio Ap test takers in my school get a 5</p>

3

<p>no. AP bio goes far beyond what the SAT II does. unless you have been prepared for the material on the AP exam, don’t take it.</p>

<p>my freshman bio class prepared us for the SAT II. a bunch of people scored really well. but we certainly weren’t prepared for the AP exam</p>

4

<p>The SAT II subject test goes nowhere near the depth that the AP bio test does. I would say the SAT II covers basic biology, such as I had in my freshman level class, and what is roughly the first few weeks of AP bio.</p>

5

<p>i looked over the practice ap questions on the website and i got nearly all of them correct</p>

<p>so i’m not certain what i should do</p>

6

<p>If you really think you can justify the money/time/agony of sitting through an AP test, and think you have a legitimate shot, then I’d say try.</p>

7

<p>“i looked over the practice ap questions on the website and i got nearly all of them correct”</p>

<p>that is a poor basis of preparedness for the exam.</p>

8

<p>wait… so if one was to get a 5 on the AP bio exam, they should easily get a 750+ on the subject test correct??</p>

9

<p>@lemons: probably, but that doesn’t mean that if you get a 750+ on the subject test that you can easily get a 5 on the AP Biology test.</p>

10

<p>yeah, that makes sense… and just wondering, what is easier bio m or bio e??</p>

11

<p>same question here! i dont know which one to take… e or m? i’m in ap bio right now and i’ll probably get like a 4 or something cuz im gonna study my butt off.</p>

<p>It depends on what you’re better at. M is molecular and more biochem type stuff, structure and such, E is ecology. I personally took m because I was more familiar with it.</p>
