<p>Why do you guys care about the negligible difference between a 790 and an 800? What difference does it make? Do you think it will make a huge change in your ability to go to either Stanford or MIT? All this whining is sickening. What the heck does this question–“Will a XXX get me into Harvard?”–mean? They never base admissions only on one single number. Stop whining about the fact that you got, for example, a 750 (which I think is a superb score by the way). It won’t do anything and all y’all are probably going to do fabulous anyways.</p>
<p>You’ve got lots of time on your hands then! Thank you and good luck to you as well (when the time comes).</p>
<p>@waddupwaddup Amen to that, I did a double-take when i saw a frowny face and “790” in the same post XD . Who else is waiting on the AP Biology exam scores?</p>
<p>@crystal19 Yes, UCB and UCLA don’t require SAT subject tests and anything 750+ is a plus on your application
@missbennet I feel your pain, but be grateful. Collegeboard lost my AP Physics B test lasr year and wouldn’t even admit it until September. Like you, my scores are also “unavailable”.</p>
<p>Saif,</p>
<p>That is incorrect. UC’s require two SAT Subject Tests – if one of those tests is math, it must be the Math 2 test.</p>
<p>^Incorrect. UCs no longer require any Subject Tests although of course they can enhance your application if you choose to send them in.</p>
<p>Hey guys!</p>
<p>I got an 800 and I’m really happy with it 
</p>
<p>What I used to study is a Barron’s book, my school textbook, and numerous bookstore/library visits. I used the Barron’s book to go over stuff my HS Bio didn’t teach (ie plant and animals), and review the stuff I did. Cross-checking is really important, so I checked the stuff in my school textbook for things Barron was lacking in and vice versa. I think what really helped me was just finding all the SAT Bio prep books in the library and taking their practice tests with a notebook and a pencil. It really helps with your test taking strategies and you can also catch some stuff you thought you knew but you didn’t.</p>
<p>Also, in general, anything 750ish+ should be fine, but I’d retake below a 730. Still, just going to reiterate what others have said, this test is just a number and colleges still look at your other statistics and more importantly you as a person!</p>
<p>Barely studied, but you should anyway. Any ap bio class is fine if you are gonna take one sophomore year. Still make sure to study because you’ll regret not getting one more question right and getting an 800 rather than 790, like I did. my ap class didn’t cover a lot, but it still changed the whole scenario. I suggest not taking the sat 2 for bio after freshmen year if you know for sure you are gonna take ap.</p>
<p>I got a 770 on bio m! The Barron’s prep book was a huge help for reviewing the info learned early in ap bio.</p>

The UC admission requirements changed recently.
“We don’t require SAT Subject Tests, but certain programs on some campuses recommend them, and you can use subject tests to satisfy the “a-g” requirements…” (admission.universityofcalifornia.edu).</p>
<p>If I am applying to schools like Northeastern, UVA, and UNC out of state, how will a 720 on Bio M affect my application? Could it enhance it? Drag it down? Play no effect? Responses would be appreciated!</p>
<p>790 on Bio M. **** yeah</p>
<p>Saif,</p>
<p>Thanks. That’s really good to know. I was quoting from a one-year old source.</p>
