<p>Hi everyone, I’m a freshman and will also be taking the test in June after completing the Biology Honors course at my school. I just started work on the Barron’s book and will be sure to contribute to this thread in the future.</p>
<p>@newdle im not in AP bio! i’m in IB, and the only things we have been though this year was literally cells, plants, and genetics… this is why i kinda wished i studied in the states, or even in schools that provide AP, because i have to self learn like 70% of the test, and I am only on human body systems! ;_;</p>
<p>@nervousfreshie I think you’ll be fine. Do you have a good textbook? For AP Bio, we use the Campbell book, and it literally covers everything back and forth, and the diagrams are freaking awesome. I’d recommend over-studying because well… You want to, in a sense :)! Good luck!</p>
<p>someone make a google doc</p>
<p>@Nervousfreshie well I wouln’t advise overstudying when you have a week left, or attempting to cover that whole Campbell book in a week (I could barely do that in a whole year w/ bio, its freaking huge). </p>
<p>Do you have a prep book for the exam? If not pm me. </p>
<p>What are you guys talking about?!??!?!?!?!?! Half of the things mentioned on here I didn’t learn in my bio class! What should I do?</p>
<p>@zeppelin7 I have the princeton review and barons, so I’m attempting to go through it this week. I have plants, evolution and cell stuff to go!</p>
<p>was there a lot of human physiology on the may bio sat? </p>
<p>Has anyone tried Peterson’s practice tests? I find them very hard, even harder than the Barron ones. Anyone agree or disagree?</p>
<p>@nervousfreshie yeah you should be fine then (prepbook wise)</p>
<p>@schoolisfunforme there was a decent amount. I sorta stumbled on it b/c my bio teacher barely covered them at all. I would go through whatever prep book you have. PR seems to be have a little to much info, but I guess it doesnt hurt to atleast read over them once. </p>
<p>@Jamanda Yes and no. For me, some parts were extremely easy while are other parts were extremely hard. I think my main problem with Petersons tests were that the Qs were worded pretty crappily, which caused me to get the wrong the answer even though I knew the answer to the question, if that makes sense. </p>
<p>Hello guyss…</p>
<pre><code> Because i need to practice for June, i need some real tests if any has
</code></pre>
<p>Thx alot for reading my comment 
</p>
<p>I know each and every concept well in the Barron’s book EXCEPT plants and biomes 
I think plants and biomes are going to cost me my 800 </p>
<p>@zeppelin7 I noticed that there are quite some difference between PR and barrons… barrons has a whole section with the hardy-wienberg stuff, and princeton just seems to skip all of that? do we have to know all the extra info for barrons? also, do you still have to study for ecology if you are doing bio M? im a bit confused about that, and the barron’s info has messed up my study schedule D:</p>
<p>@nervousfreshie it will always be better to go prepared for both E and M … and choose the one which u think u will get the most correct on… sometimes M just tends to be a tad harder … </p>
<p>I agree with Sahil because so far for me ecology seems easier. the m section, I feel is hard because of the experiments so I would prepare for both. Also, I would study the extra info in barrons. it is very helpful</p>
<p>also if anyone wants practice tests, u can search them up online or go on collegeboard and take one. </p>
<p>@nervousfreshie I don’t believe Hardy-Weinburg was on the May exam and Barrons is known to have more information than needed in their prep books. I would b e surprised actually is Hardy-Weinburg is on the exam because in order to do that, you’ll need a calculator w/ a sqare-root function, and we’re not allowed to have calculators in the exam.</p>
<p>And Yeah, you’ll need to know Ecology even if your doing the M exam. What CB does is that the difference in the last 20 questions of the exam is your pick: Ecological or Molecular (BUT Ecological questions can come in M and M questions in E), but of course M’s last 20 questions will mostly be about M stuff (and like wise for E). The first 60 questions is fair game; any question from any unit could appear in the first 60.
(I realized I sorta phrased that a bit weirdly, feel free to ask me to clarify)</p>
<p>Besides the practice questions on CB’s website, you could also buy CB’s Subject Test Blue Book (which has info for all 20 subject tests). There are a bunch of practice questions in that. One of my classmates that took the exam in May said that there was a picture and 4 questions on the May exam that came directly from the Blue Book. </p>
<p>@needtoboard Wow then you need to get working! Go to the Bio E/M page on College Board’s website and familiarize yourself with the test format. CB also has a bunch of practice questions on their website that you can try out. For more practice (if you have time–you definitely need to do this if you haven’t learned the material before) buy Barron’s for the SAT Bio test and read up! </p>
<p>Does the SAT ask specific questions on scientists? For example, Which scientist is famous for his work with imprinting? </p>
<p>@Sahil9797 nah not really. They’ll usually phrase a question like:: (Scientist X) did this. [+data chart].
You’ll have to interpret the data and stuff </p>
