My son is taking a biology honor. I was wondering is he ready to take SAT biology? His teacher doesn’t not recommend it. But my friend told me his son that his son took the subject test in June right after he finished biology and did fine. Should my son wait until he finished AP biology? I am afraid he may not take AP biology or may take it in his senior year, then will be too late.
your son should get out of ap bio because in 2017 ther are dropping boiology so it wont even matter sir
@alexmitchell where did you hear that? Source?
@Forensic taking the corresponding SAT subject test right after the course is usually not a bad idea. I didn’t take AP Bio or either biology subject test, but you don’t really need to take the AP course in order to do well on the subject test.
Thank you! Where did you get such info that in 2017 AP Bio will be dropped?
It is a kid by kid decision. My daughter’s school advises against taking the Bio SAT subject test in 9th grade but I had friends whose kids had taken it so I ignored the school’s advice She did fine – 790. But she did have to learn @ 30% of the material on her own. Other friends’ kids took it in 9th grade and did not do well and then took it again at the end of 11th grade after taking AP Bio and did very well.
Hi can I ask you what material your daughter used to study? Did she self study AP level material?
