****OFFICIAL JUNE 2014 SAT BIO E/M THREAD****

<p>740 biology e! Not as great as others on here, but I’m content</p>

<p>Is a 740 M alright? Or should I retake?</p>

<p>@jelly765 I wouldn’t I got a 740 E on the may one, decided to retake it in june and got a 750 M, and I heavily studied all the systems and stuff (which I didn’t know for the May exam), so I was convinced that I got around a 780. So yeah, a 740 isn’t the best, but just retaking it won’t do much unless you are more certain you’ll see a significant increase</p>

<p>780 Bio M… meh. could have gotten an 800 if it wasn’t for some dumb mistakes</p>

<p>780 Bio M. IDK why you guys are complaining, I’m ecstatic.</p>

<p>800 Bio M. Also, good job to all you guys! </p>

<p>560 Bio E… :(</p>

<p>i got 720 e should i retake it? im a freshman and didnt take ap bio</p>

<p>Jimmio- I got 720 E too, and I didn’t take AP Bio yet (planning on taking it senior year). I’m just a sophomore who took honors bio but I don’t know if that was enough. haha I wouldn’t retake. I think that anything in the 700s is pretty good, even though getting 750+ seems more favorable. It’s generally harder for people like us who didn’t take AP to get like an 800. I mean yeah, I guess I could have done better. I made one or two careless mistakes, but I don’t think retaking would make a huge difference. </p>

<p>I’m just wondering- a lot of people in this thread did better on M than on E. Are the curves different?</p>

<p>@misschoding I think so, especially since since E is supposed to have a bigger percentile than M </p>

<p>Is there any way colleges can not see the score. I want to apply to ivy leagues and dont want them knowing I got a 560.</p>

<p>@dubnation depends on the school’s policy, I think Yale for example requires to see all your scores</p>

<p>Are all of the good colleges like that?</p>

<p>Zeppelin7- Oh. I hope there’s not too big of a difference haha</p>

<p>Dubnation- I’m not sure. I’m not applying to any ivy leagues so I have no clue. If you get like an 800 on your second try, it’s not a bad idea to send your 560. It shows your improvement and dedication. </p>

<p>@dubnation check with the school either on their website or collegeboard</p>

<p>How do i check on collegeboard? What do i look for? I just see the name of the college…</p>

<p>Score reports are out, but unfortunately they aren’t very detailed :(</p>

How is the Bio subject test different than the AP test, if at all?

@guy1013 the subject test is all multiple choice and it’s easier. If you’re taking the AP now it should be a lot easier to do well on this.

I am planning on taking this after Bio Honors, but do you think I should wait until after AP? I won’t take that until senior year, so I wanted to do it now, but I am worried I am underprepared…
