<p>I'm currently a freshman in high school and am taking biology-- not AP bio, but pre-AP. However, our school's biology department is widely regarded as one of (if not THE) best in the state. We go into a lot of detail and it's a very, very challenging course.
I may not take a second year of biology and I feel like I have a good grasp of the material. What are the pros and cons of taking the SAT II in bio now? If I do badly, what are the consequences? I looked at all the multiple-choice questions offered on the College Board website and did pretty well.
Advice, anyone?
Thank you!</p>
<p>Well, we don't know how well the bio course prepares you for the SAT II. If you feel that you can do well on it, give it a shot. If you don't do too well, it's up to you either to retake it to raise your score or simply to take two/three other SAT IIs once the time comes. </p>
<p>I could tell you that colleges only look at your two or three highest scores or that a low score from freshman year won't be held against you, but I don't know about the first statement (and I am reasonably sure that no student on this board does) and concerning the latter, colleges may simply not pay attention to the test dates.</p>
<p>Bottom line: if you are confident that you can do well on the SAT II, take it but take it seriously and prepare for it.</p>
<p>yeah, only you can be the judge. I think my bio course is a joke, but it may be at the same level as yours. I dont know.</p>
