<p>Oh does anyone remember an experiment question about DNA stability? G+C has three H bonds while A+T has two!</p>
<p>So was this test harder than an average Bio SAT? If it was, does the curve get easier and what raw score might you need for an 800 in Bio E?</p>
<p>G-C is harder to disrupt with heat than is A-T.</p>
<p>Also about the diagram for the gc question, was it the one where the first part was coiled, secobd part separate, and third part coiled again?</p>
<p>@Happy2102 - That’s the one I picked too!</p>
<p>Actually the leaves on cacti are called “needles” I don’t think it could be coniferous forests because the only thing needle-like I can think of are pine cones…but pine cones are not leaves. The second part of the question also said “short growing season”</p>
<p>For the plant question about which color would change the experiment the most, it was green right?</p>
<p>Hmmm I still feel like the desert is the right answer…the question asked for “needle-like leaves” Spines and leaves are essentially synonymous…spines are just modified leaves.</p>

<p>Because o Hurrican Sandy, my test has been rescheduled next week… Is the test hard?</p>
<p>perhaps because we’re taking it in the middle of the school year, they need to make it harder to give a more generous curve?</p>
<p>Hey the scores are out. What did you guys get?
I got 740 in my SAT BIOLOGY M</p>
<p>i got 730 not soo good 
for the school I am applying to</p>
<p>800 in Biology E!!!</p>
<ol>
<li> Ha. Oh well, that’s kind of what I expected. At least Math II was much, much better.</li>

<li>Ha. You guys make me feel stupid. Oh well, that’s kind of what I expected. At least Math II was much, much better.</li>

<p>Hi
I’m an international student… I took the sat 2 Biology E in November and got 740.
Is it a low score for the Ivy League schools?
The test was really hard for me because I’m not familiar with all the biological terms in English and I didn’t have much time to study
Thanks for your help</p>
<p>So I’m taking the test in Dec but I’m prepping with Barron’s now.
Question, for high scorers who prepped with Barron’s, do remember your score from the Diagnostic test? I scored super low and I was wondering if, with studying for two weeks straight (gap year kid here so I can devote lots of hours per day to studying), I can score 750+ come test day.</p>
<p>@alexissss - I took Bio M in November. My Barron’s Diagnostic test score was in the low 600s. My actual score was 750. :)</p>
<p>Ohhh, I see. I scored 550 on M (thought this was my strong point) and 580 on E (assumed this as weak point, but I guess not thanks to AP Enviro), lol. I took AP Bio my senior year, but the class only strengthened my skills in cellular and molecular Bio the first half of the year. The second half my class got a different teacher (had her my sophomore year for honors Bio where she mostly taught genetics -<em>-!) who only taught us genetics (her fav) the rest of the year. Only 5 people even took the AP test, no one got above a 3 out of the 5 people. xD When I took the Diagnostic test, some of the terms were such that I’ve never seen before. O</em>____O
How long did you study for?</p>
