Official SAT Subject Test - Biology E/M - June 2015

Let’s share study tips, review together, and talk about how we think we did for the upcoming Biology II E/M Exam in June!!!

Anyone taking it? or has anyone taken it before? If you have, could you share some study tips or how much into detail we should study?

I hope this thread sticks!!! I made one within almost identical title and it was merged with the previous year’s after about seven posts. @asiankid88 one question for you: are you team Barron’s or Team Princeton Review?

@bfpoodle123 I hope so too! I’m team Princeton mainly but team Barron for extra details. I hate the questions on Barron’s. It’s so poorly worded, but Princeton’s is alright. The best in my opinion is of course the one College Board released

@bfpoodle123 You have any idea how much into detail we need to know?

@asiankid88 That’s the million-dollar question!!!

Will pedigrees be on the test?

@swiftninja most likely, yes.

so you guys should share your study tips, How are you studying, @bfpoodle123 ?

I’m using Barrons and reviewing my old bio notes

Anyone know where to find official practice tests online?

@vmiller7723 I believe college board releases them. How well should I know the Phylums? @idealni1

I searched online and i only find practice tests from other books, the only official collegeboard bio test is from their book, i suggest going to your local library and getting that book, That’s what i’m doing for both chem and bio. @asiankid88 know a general overview on it. But i suggest to go overdepth with anything, that’s how i am, i need to know every single detail lol.

I read Barron’s, did the practice tests, scored miserably, read Princeton, did the first practice test, got a 750, did the one from the SAT, got a 730, and now I’m making a review sheet for each Barron’s chapter. I’d share them but there’s no way any of you would be able to read them. @asiankid88

@bfpoodle123 you could give it a shot? I would like to see the review sheet xD are you taking the test in the US btw?

I guess and yeah I’m in the U.S. i assume you’re not? @asiankid88

@bfpoodle123 international

Man, I’m just hoping to do better on this test than I did on the AP Bio this year. But I haven’t even started studying yet and I’m in the middle of finals week…my last final is Friday and the next day is the subject test. Welp.

@Nickly Aw that sucks! I’m very lucky because summer started for me (we start school earlier) and I can spend more time studying for this test. At this point of time, skim over all the topics and have a general idea of everything. Then, only for the topics you have trouble with, actually study them in a detailed manner. Does anyone have links for a practice test? I have 2 already in my barrons book, but I want to see a test that has been used before.

@AnniiT I have Barron’s too but I also did the practice test found in the official sat subject tests blue book. There should be a link somewhere online
