Hi, I’m a high school junior and would like any great advice on studying for the SAT Biology E subject test. I have already taken it sophomore year and got a 650, but I wasn’t satisfied with my score. I’m aiming for a 700+, and hopefully I’ll improve in December. To anyone who has experience with SAT IIs or have taken them, what worked for you? Any tips or suggestions for improvement?
What books are you planning on studying from?
I would highly recommend Princeton Review. I took the Bio M test earlier this year and got a 740, but wanna aim for a full 800 so taking it again. Just keep in mind that there will be a few questions even your subject books won’t cover ( Princeton, Kaplan etc). So you need to be very thorough with the general topics covered. Just an example -
Princeton Review doesn’t cover Gel Electrophoresis ( not in a single page of the book), but when i took the test there were some questions based on it, and cause i had studied that in school i could answer them.
Just revise, revise, and keep revising the core topics!
Best of luck! Hope you ace it
It varies exam to exam, but like 25% questions are related to anatomy. Just be thorough with your core’s and you will be good. A graph change related to the ovarian/ uterine cycle is a pet question. Study PR chapters 11-12-13 very thoroughly! cause they contain a LOT of information :)>-
And yes haha some letters of the name for sure
