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

@AnniiT http://imgur.com/a/k9P5b from the collegeboard subject test book. Raw sore of 60 to get a 700. that’s like minus what… 16? something like that

does anyone know if that’s accurate?

@asiankid88 most vitamins can’t be naturally synthesized

Do you guys think there is going to be a good scale for this test? And how does the scale work? Is it just like the ones you use to grade your practice tests in the review books?

I omitted 4 questions and i am hoping i got <10 wrong. Is there anyway i can still get above a 700?

@Jay12345xxx12345 yeah, that should be above a 700

@asiankid88 Vitamin is because some vitamins can’t be digested by all animals, if Im correct about which vitamen question you’re talking about (I answered E but I’ve seen that vitamin question on another test.) The marsupial/mammal one is no long gestation period. Marsupials have very short pregnancies and their young continue to develop in their pouches.

I took a course and my teacher used real tables to grade us and when I would be -15 that would usually get me a 700. He said the greatest curve he’d seen was 800 at a raw score of 76.

Also, I think this test was pretty average in terms of difficulty so the curve will probably neither be too generous nor too harsh.

@catsthatbarkk So you agree with me, great.

Did anyone say that at high altitudes people may have elevated red blood cells?

Yup more blood cells to carry oxygen

@CGlynn Yup that’s definitely correct as well.

Did anyone else make the one about the south and north sides of the mountain that it’s because it’s steeper on the south?

If i get like minus 9 and omit 1… what would that be?

@catsthatbarkk I said the rain thing

@asiankid88 750

Around 750 I believe. @asiankid88

So the answer marsupials and mammals one was the one that said something about underdeveloped young?

@catsthatbarkk did you say tomato one was a virus and also fertilizer gives inorganic compounds?

For the oxygen why wasn’t it the lung capacity thing
