<p>Mostly just more depth about stuff covered on SAT II, and you learn more about the mechanisms behind everything. Also, I'm not sure how much about evolution is on the SAT II or if there's more of it on the bio-E (I took bio-M), but evolution and population dynamics are covered in much more depth in AP.</p>
<p>Also on the AP, there's the whole fact that you have to actually produce your own answers (Shudder). On the SAT II it's all just finding the right answer, so if you have a general idea, you can often get the answers right.</p>
<p>But yes, I second GoldShadow in that there is a lot more depth on the AP... It's not that bad though, as long as you actually take the class (I'd imagine self-studying it would be a major pain in the ass though, lol)</p>
<p>It's massive when you consider it by itself. However, the people who take the test are expected/should have a couple years of biology under their belt, including AP Biology. This should make studying basically reviewing/memorizing (and not learning anything new) stuff you've forgotten. It helps if you took AP Bio recently.</p>
<p>now SAT II bio seems a little easier than before. And I don't think it has much about Evolution in it...</p>
<p>i took ap bio last year and thought the sat ii would be easy...except i got 5 on ap and 700 on sat ii, and i really dont know what happened</p>
<p>CommunistKnight - Same here. I was expecting it to be rather easy as well. I got a 5 on the AP Bio exam but only a 740 on the SAT II :(</p>
<p>I would be happy with 650 - 700 on the Biology, I think that's my limit.</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me what the topics I should stress on are? (Bio M) I think Genetics is a big part of it; but that's all I know.</p>
<p>i just read sparknotes the two days before the test and i got a 790 :D</p>
