June SAT II: Biology E/M

Thought we should start a discussion! How’s prep going? Did you self study or have you been taking a course? What practice material are you using and are you planning to take E or M?

Hey there! I took the AP Biology course, so I’m decently prepared for that. I just got a Barrons book, so I’ll spend the whole next week and this weekend prepping. I’m probably going to take the E test since I took APES, but I’m not sure yet. Which is supposed to be easier?

Prep is going alright. I kinda wish my score were higher, I’m scoring in the 720ish range right now but I’d like to bring that up to over a 750 with the few days I have remaining. I have just completed my school’s AP Biology class so that will help me considerably. I have a Barron’s book and I am reading it whenever I have time, trying to learn something that I am fuzzy on. I am definitely going to take the M test because I have also just completed an honors molecular biology course at my school with excellent grades and I really enjoy molecular biology.

I finished Barons in a day because I was trying to soak up all of the information I could have missed during my 3 month course. Still not penetrating beyond 750 though and It’s depressing me. I know all of the information but I keep missing the questions anyway and when I see my mistake I feel like an idiot because I KNEW the correct answer while I was answering! My nerves are probably getting in the way. Hopefully they won’t screw me over on test day.
