<p>honestly expecting good curve
people r saying its easy bc they think they got most of the 80 problems but when you look into the curve few wrong questions makes a massive difference so the curve i think will be -5 raw 800</p>
<p>HAVE U SEEN the blue book test, yes the curve is not th best -3 800 but the TEST IS X100000 easier than the one in June we all took. so expect -5 800</p>
<p>Hey there guys. I was wondering I took AP Bio last year, and did not really like how it turned out. I wanted to take the subject test though, because I think my science background is pretty weak for my high school curriculum. I took mainly regular science courses, but only one Honors Biology course. I wanted to know is AP Bio seriously a lot of preparation for the subject test, or is it just enough to get a high score?</p>
<p>@dan213 I took AP Bio this year and I actually thought that honors bio prepared me for the SAT Bio better than AP Bio did. In AP I never learned about specific plant parts nor some of the other topics tested on the SAT. However, after taking AP Bio and without studying for the SAT subject test (studied for the AP test a few weeks before though), I was able to score a 730 on the diagnostic test which isnt THAT good but it’s decent. So if you take AP Bio, be sure to really go through all the topics on the SAT but not in the AP curriculum. And as for the Physics SAT, I believe the Physics SAT covers the topics from AP Physics B but I’m not that sure.</p>
<p>Thanks @HPClee. I think I will go with physics, instead of bio, because I am looking toward a degree in the engineering field possibly, but if somehow SAT Bio works out, then I might just take that one, and try to get credit for AP Physics 1.</p>
<p>Is this good enough for Ivy league? Do they really admit someone over someone else because they have an 800 on a subject test compared to a 780? Since they consider grades, EC’s, test scores, and essays I would think that anything in the upper 700’s is good.</p>
<p>You are fine rlroos. I have a friend who had two 600 range scores and went to Harvard. There is a LOT that they look at. 20 or 30 points are in significant. I got a 710 and am not worried about retaking.</p>
<p>I guess it depend on a couple things. What grade are you in, could you realistically do much better, what are your other subject scores like, etc. If you get a rejection, will you be able to accept that or will you regret this score and see it as tainting you application? Kind of a personal question, I myself probably wouldn’t retake though.</p>
<p>And I would like to add that while you can get in with lower scores, higher ones do likely raise your odds of acceptance slightly. So would it be better to have, say, a 790, but it won’t break you if you don’t.</p>
<p>it says that my scores are not yet available and its telling me to come back some time later
this happened to a lot of students at our school…i think it’s probably cuz we’re internationals so it took some time for the shipping and stuff…is this ok? ugh i just wanted to know my score today </p>
