Retake Bio SAT II?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

I’m a junior who took AP Bio last year, but was unable to take the Bio SAT II right after the course due to covid. I took the Bio SAT II in October and got a 740. I feel I could do better than this. The score is pretty good, but not as good as I wanted (I was shooting for 760s 770s). I’m taking the Math II test in December. Should I retake my bio exam? I got a 5 on the AP test and A’s in the class. It would also require some time to reacquaint myself with the test material.

Btw, I’m likely going to apply to schools like Brown, Tufts, Rochester and Northeastern, which don’t recommend nor require subject tests.

Thank you for your help! :smiley:

It is not easy to get a 5 on the AP Bio test. It would seem to me that your A grade and 5 on the AP Bio test would be enough to show maximum mastery. I wouldn’t bother. Schools know that it was challenging to take standardized tests last spring, and even now.

OK, thanks. It wouldn’t be worth the effort.
