I am really trying to make my timing efficient for the test. As many know the Barrons book usually overprepares students (content wise) for tests. I think that Biology is no exception.

They have a chapter titled “biological diversity” in which they talk about characteristics of all of the kingdoms, Body cavity formation (coelem, mesoderm, pseudocoelem), and the characteristics of the 9 common phyla (porifera, cnidarians).

Stuff it seems to think is important are facts like Annelids are segmented worms, they have bilateral symmetry, they have nephridia for excretion of waste, they are hermaphrodites. ETC.

This stuff was not covered in AP Bio, nor was it on the test. However idk how important this stuff is to know. Does anyone know if this information is relevant? If so can you link me to a summary of all the stuff that is actually important to know for biological diversity?

Is this more of an E or an M subject?

The SAT Bio tests your memorization more than the AP does. As such, classification is really important. I took the test in June and I don’t remember how many there were exactly, but there were quite a few in the general part of the test.
I used the Barrons guide for SAT bio.
