*SAT Subject Test Biology E/M June 2016 Discussion Thread*

I put that they should study the population dynamics first

I thought they did not have as many human physiology questions as they did on practice tests

I feel like that question was vague because theres not really a “first step” but there are a lot of steps that you could take… unless im wrong

@neehal120 same and i put all my effort into memorizing human body systems

Honestly, this was one of the harder bio tests than the past years.

@deathmachine really? i thought it was easier than some of the practice tests I took but it was kind of vague

I think it would be population dynamics as a first step because then depending on the results you could legislate bounty hunting of they were becoming invasive/redistribute them of their species numbers were down or something. But it was really vaguely worded it stumped me for a long time

@otrastudying yeah same i was so confused so I just picked one

Does anyone remember what they put for the mass extinction one? I was between they’re rare and necessary ecological events but I think I went with rareness

@otrastudying was that on the E version

I don’t remember but I took E so possibly yeah

will colleges be able to see what i got on this test? ik u get to pick the scores u send and all but someone told me they can see it anyways?

eh

eh easy i guess

In general, how do you guys think the curve is going to be ?

Some of the questions were just silly. I didn’t quite understand their relevance to the purpose of the Bio test.

Was the question about the neuromuscular junction what is the signal sent at the junction or was it what kind. I put synapse but I must have read it wrong if it is chemical.

@neehal120 yeah apparently it was chemical but I got that wrong :frowning:

I put synapse too, but for some reason it was chemical. Meh… I still guessed like 5-7 right according to this discussion. Still think I made a lot of mistakes though. Was shooting for an 800 but now hoping for a 750.

What do you guys think the curve is going to be like?
