October 2010 - Biology E/M

<p>Good luck to us all!
Post anything you want to here.</p>

<p>How was the test? I thought it was ok overall… but there were a few really strange eco questions</p>

<p>hi!
just came back from sat ii Chem, Math 2, and BIO
arghh
how did everyone do on Bio?
I thought it was quite difficult…
especially the ecology section had some strange questions…</p>

<p>I didn’t take Bio so…</p>

<p>I took Bio (E). I think it was pathetic. I ain’t sure though :/</p>

<p>I immediately turned to Molecular after flipping through Ecology.
Those diagrams told me to move on.
Didn’t leave any blanks, but some things were rather iffy.</p>

<p>was the molecular easier than ecology??
i think sat ii biology was hard this time…
what do you think the curve will be??</p>

<p>Well, it looked easier. I didn’t have enough time to really read through.
That was my first Bio test, so…</p>

<p>sk8ergirl001: pathetic as in too easy?? or in another sense??</p>

<p>I answered 12 questions of Ecology, then I hit “which two scientists blahblahblah…” O.O
then flipped to Molecular and answered the first 8 questions in a minute lol</p>

<p>hmm you can’t do that right? answer 20 questions from both sections…
arghh
i got stuck in that stupid experiment as well
it wasn’t in any of the books i read (barron’s, kaplan, princetons review, sparknotes…)
ahhh i hope the curve is lenient this time…
it was so freaking hard!</p>

<p>@babyrummy</p>

<p>sorry i worded that badly lol. the ecology was so hard, i flipped to molecular and did the whole thing (and erased ecology). the fact that the first 8 questions were really easy just made it awesomer</p>

<p>LOL . i’m glad i’m not the only one that flipped straight to molecular once I skimmed through the Ecology section. haha, i saw the E section and I was like “O.O this is hard” and usually I do Ecology because it’s super easy…</p>

<p>haha, :confused: I hope there’s a good curve</p>

<p>Everything was good/decent. The last lab section on E/M section was kinda shaky tho. Otherwise, I give it a thumb up. The molecular section was kinda easy. I breezed through it. If I don’t make any silly mistakes, I hope I make 750+. Fingers crossed for a good curve.</p>

<p>any hard questions people wanna discuss?</p>

<p>what was the answer to what would grow one year after a fire destroyed a redwood forest?</p>

<p>I don’t know if I wanna discuss specific questions lol, the College Board may be after me. Apparently, my neighbor works for Collegeboard…</p>

<p>wasn’t it lichen and mosses???
ah damn…now i’m regretting…
should have jumped to M section…
i just went on with the E section and guessed several questions
is there a different curve for E and M??</p>

<p>yes, there’s a different curve, but they are extremely similar. It’s usually only different by 10 points or so (e.g. the difference between a 720 and 730). some people say the ecology scale is a little higher, which may or may not be true for every test.</p>

<p>oh okay…ahhhhh i need more than 10 points :(</p>

<p>^ huh I thought it was that the Ecology curve was harsher, since (usually) it’s pretty easier. BUT, this time, I thought the E section was more difficult than the M section …</p>
