<p>I got an 800 on m and studied sporadically for like three weeks and then I studied hardcore like the week before the test. I only read Sparknotes and took their online practice tests.
I took honors bio my sophomore year and I’m taking AP bio this year.</p>
<p>i got a 790 :(</p>

This video seems to have pretty good advice as to how to study for this exam! Hope you guys enjoy it. Seems to be pretty helpful.</p>
<p>I read Barron’s once, then took the practice tests. I had skimmed Princeton Review two months before I took the SAT II, and took those practice tests as well. I didn’t even study the night before and I got an 800. I think that might be a little overkill (I wouldn’t recommend studying Kaplan’s though. I tried using it and it had a lot of superfluous information, and the practice tests were ridiculous. It took me an hour and a half to finish one practice test, and got a 590 on it LOL).</p>
<p>There is some random information you need to know though, since the info isn’t going to be mentioned in either PR or Barron’s.</p>
<p>Whoawhoawhoawhoawhoa. I really disagree with taking the practice tests the last few days. You only have those few days to analyze your mistakes and ingrain it, which is rather difficult. I would alternate b/n taking tests and studying from the books, as someone on this thread previously mentioned.</p>
<p>Secondly, I would only do Barron’s and PR at most, Kaplan’s only if you really have time and really understand the info from those two books. </p>
<p>Thirdly, my advice on how to study would be through those books yes, but also a tutor.</p>
<p>It’s not how many times you read it; it’s how much of the content in the books you understand.</p>
<p>Devoting 2 hours per day (1 hour in the morning, 1 hour in the afternoon) until you reach the day should be sufficient, though.</p>
<p>Bleh, I’m studying for SAT Bio also. I just wish it wasn’t so memory-intensive so that we could appreciate biology more. Biology really is a great subject.</p>
<p>^Agreed. 10char</p>
<p>this is my first time taking SAT Biology test…
so i am not sure what to do except to read the PR cracking the sat book and to study some concepts of Cliffnotes AP Bio…</p>
<p>but i am still having hard time choosing E/M…
in school our school focused on the M part, so i have very extensive kowledge on the M part.
but many of the people say the M part is harder than the E part…</p>
<p>please give me which one you think I should choose to get higher score…
i am aming for a perfect 800 or at least 780… thanks!</p>
<p>Go for M. I don’t think M is THAT much harder than E, and you have extensive knowledge of it. For the June test, people were actually saying M was a lot easier than E. </p>
<p>Go get the Barron’s SAT II bio to reinforce your knowledge. It provides so much info that I was feeling a lot more confident after reading / memorizing all of it.</p>
<p>The Barrons book is sufficient.</p>
<p>I used the Barrons Princeton AND Kaplan and studied about three months before the test. It was my first and my freshman year but I double checked my answers and walked out confidently. Unfortunately, I ended up with a 690. What do you think went wrong? I am taking it again in about a month so I want to get a higher score. </p>
<p>Also, when I kept taking practice tests, I was getting high 700’s (750-790) and then I kept doing them until I got 800s. But on the test I got 690.</p>
