<p>Hey guys! So I am a sophomore whos taking honors chem and ap physics 1 this year and i have taken honors physics last year. I plan on taking a SAT Subject Test in biology (molecular), but I will only be able to take honors bio and ap chem next year(my junior year). Otherwise, I will be able to take sat bio after ap bio which is my senior year, so it wont count as I want to go into a premed program. Right now I am taking a CTY Honors Biology course and later, I am going to use Sparknotes and Princeton Review for preparation and will take the SAT Subject Biology Test based on my results on practice tests in June of 2015 or my junior year. Does anyone have advice as to how I should self study? Any advice would be tremendously appreciated :)!</p>
<p>You should also go through Campbell</p>
<p>Ok @swimmygirl123 do you have any experience with Sparknotes and Princeton Review?</p>
<p>Bump anyone who has experience with self studying for sat bio?</p>
<p>I do. Just follow your own course, then buy the PR or Barron’s book. That’s it.
What do you want to know anyway?</p>
<p>I just want to know if the way I am studying is good enough considering im not taking AP Biology @DarkEclipse</p>
<p>Same here, i’ll be writing SAT Biology this saturday (11th October) and i’m seriously doubting whether i’ve done enough. anyone have any links to SAT Biology Practice Tests that i could use?</p>
<p>It’s okay, but I’d suggest you give the SAT Biology towards the end of your junior year. That way, you’ll cover sufficient material, and whatever topics are leftover, you can study on your own. So, yeah, that’s my advice to you. Cover at least a few months worth of AP Biology, and give it towards the end, or second half of your junior year. It’ll be easier that way.</p>
<p>is there a thread about the test anywhere? @DarkEclipse ?</p>
<p>No idea. I’m new here.</p>
<p>I’m an international student who self-studied Bio M.</p>

<li><p>I used a combination of two books-- McGraw Hill and Princeton review. I covered the McGraw Hill book extensively (even making a few flash cards) and skimmed to Princeton review book to fill in knowledge gaps. It worked for me.</p></li>
<li><p>Don’t fret! It’s not a hard test. I studied intensely for one weekend (before the exam) and then revised once on the Friday before the test. You don’t need to invest <em>years</em> into this paper. But, obviously, be adequately prepared (only you can gauge that) and take practice tests.</p></li>

<p>don’t know about self-studying but the bio test (e, at least) is not too bad! religiously study barron’s and princeton review and do a LOT of practice tests. the thing about practice tests is that you learn that piece of information that might or might not be on a test - it’s different from practicing a skill. anyways, barrons is an excellent book so really use that!</p>
