Just got a 670 on Practice Test #1 in here. CRAP.
@CollageWhat I think the practice tests are actually harder than the real thing, so you would likely be in the low 700’s on the actual test, which is good (a score of 700+ is VERY good). Also, I heard that there is a curve. What are your weakest areas in biology? Anyway, Thx for the link! If you find anymore practice tests, please let me know (:
Does anybody know how well the Barron’s practice tests correlate with actual scores? I’m just reviewing Barron’s religiously…
I don’t know any of this Barron’s chapter on Plants. How much of this stuff is actually on the test? Also, is there a lot of human anatomy?
If I am taking Math 2 and Bio M tomorrow and am aiming for a perfect Math and 750+ on Bio M, in what order should I take them in? Is there a recommended strategy? Should easier tests be taken first or last? Thanks!
@AnniiT Thanks, that’s reassuring. I keep messing up the hormones, plant stuff, kingdoms/classifications, and then some miscellaneous questions where the question isn’t clear enough for me to understand what they’re asking 
I’m really not sure how these practice tests stack up to the real one but here are some of the M tests I found:

@CollageWhat I wish the test gave us more time; you literally have no time to think in a slow manner because you have 80 questions to answer in 60 minutes. Also, you get points taken off if you answer it wrong, whereas if you leave it blank, you get no points. However, if you leave questions blank, you better get majority of the questions you answered right. At this point, all I’m asking is a 700. Some questions are tricky. For example, I had a question which said “Define a group of cells performing the same functions”. I put “tissues” but the answer was “organ” because a group of cells is a “tissue” and with the time we have, you usually skip over those small details lol. Also, thx for the practice tests!
@AnniiT I would say tissue too. Not sure how that can be organ, lol.
@CollageWhat It’s organ because you substitute “tissue” in for the part that says “group of cells”, so it is basically asking “tissue performing same function”, which is a organ. If tomorrows test is like this, I’m literally going to flip the desk during the middle of testing.
@AnniiT I’m pretty sure the answer is actually tissue. An organ is a group of tissues performing the same function. I might be wrong? But I’m like fairly sure.
@AnniiT Definitely “tissues.” “a group of cells” would be a “tissue.” Maybe if it said “groups of cells” since that would refer to more than one group. (id est, more than one tissue) That is a really stupid question.
How are you guys last minute cramming?? I keep messing up on my practice tests on the stupidest things and my confidence level keeps dropping! D: I don’t know how to stop making careless mistakes/misreading the question / forgetting really simple things. Do you guys have any suggestions?
@foreverprongs @ObitoSigma Well the book’s answer states that it is the organ. Believe me, my thought process was exactly the same as yours initially, but the book explains it using my statement earlier.
@foreverprongs Well I went through the whole barrons book and read every single chapter. As of right now, I’m going to finish the last test from my book and do 1 or 2 practice tests online. People have posted some practice tests earlier, so definitely check them out!
ahhhh i got a 650 on the first test of barron’s :’(
@living4college I feel you!! I know all the Barron’s material but somehow when it comes to the real test, I always mess up.
Has anyone taken Princeton Review or Kaplan practice tests?? I find them extremely hard and I’m wondering whether this is what the real test will be like or not
@CollageWhat The Kaplan ones are ridiculous. Like 75 percent of the test is human anatomy in extreme detail and the experiment examples are like 400 pages long lmao.
@vmiller7723 Thank god I’m not the only one who thought that, lol. I left like 8 blank in the first 20 and gave up halfway through because it was making me so mad
The material isn’t hard; it’s the wording of the questions and the similar answer choices that’s killing me.
exactly!!! and i realized i made stupid mistakes lol ugh just keep practicing i guess ~X(
