<p>is it really harsh?</p>
<p>which one is easier? e or m?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>it's harsh. M is easier, statistically, although I did take E and got 800. Ironic for what i just said, but believe me it is harsh. It is one of the few SAT IIs where an 800 is actually 99 percentile instead of something like 93 or 95.</p>
<p>Yeah it's pretty tough... it depends though, some tests are better than others. I took M and got 800... I think it's 98th percentile or something like that.</p>
<p>the scale is not too bad, definitely not as easy as math ii, but doable.</p>
<p>^ so that means that math II scale is easy as in....u can miss several questions and still get 800? and bio...u gotta get em all right?</p>
<p>not toooo bad. I took form REAL SAT SUBJECT TESTS and missed 8 on both E and M. Both were 790.</p>
<p>^^ Thats weird because sparknotes curve is supposed to be similar... and they say you can only get 1 wrong for an 800</p>
<p>i really dont think it's that harsh Kishin...but I dont know for sure. I hope that's not true...</p>
<p>When I took SAT II Bio in the beginning of my soph, I found E to be easier than M. Statistically M has higher scorers, but, if the pattern holds from Math 1 v. Math 2--i.e. the mean score for Math 2 is higher than for Math 1 even though Math 1 is easier than Math 2--people who take M statistically score higher than those who take E, although in the case of Bio there is a difference not in level but of varying material. I did just fine on E, so do whichever test you feel more comfortable with.</p>
<p>At d school, the statistics for E is better than M.</p>
<p>Do the E and M tests have different scoring scales? I used to think they didn't, but the new Barron's 2007 edition gives a dramatically different scale (for E you can miss 7 and get an 800, while for M you can only miss 3).</p>
<p>See my post under</p>
<p>Sorry, I looked all over, and didn't see an answer to my question.</p>
<p>I've done tests from the Princeton Review book and the Kaplan book. The Kaplan book is muuuuch more difficult. Does anyone know which one is more accurate? Like, specifically for bio or even in general??</p>
<p>princeton is pretty accurate</p>
<p>My PR book says that you can lose two raw points (out of 80) and still get an 800. The general trend after that is for every raw point lost after that, your scaled score goes down by 10 points.</p>
<p>I hope that made some sense.</p>
<p>Funny, Peterson says you can lose 10, and then followed by 10 for every 2 after that</p>
<p>Kind of unrelated...I just a practice chem test by Kaplan...there are sooo many typos, I think I'm going to trust Princeton Review from now on. Even though these will be my last SATs everrrrr. I don't even care what I get. I'm so done with them.</p>
