<p>In your opinion, which one is
a) the easiest test?
b) which one is the easiest to get a higher score on, due to the curve?</p>
<p>Well, on Chem I got a 780. I Bio-E I got a 690. I felt that Chem was a lot easier but it could be because I like Chem. I didn't take Bio-M, sorry</p>
<p>Bio-E you can sort of just go with....i didnt do any studying aside from my basic 9th grade bio course and got 700+. chem i also took and didnt do as well on (percentile wise, not numerically), despite a quite rigorous advanced chemistry course- but then again, i didnt really study for that one either</p>
<p>I got a 780 in Chem, but that's probably because I took AP Chem so I didn't have to study for the SAT Subject test much.</p>
<p>My best friend got an 800 in Bio-M, but that's probably because she studies 6+ hours a day and she really liked Bio. I hate Bio, and loved Chem, lol. </p>
<p>My AP Bio teacher recommends us to take the Bio-M test, not the Bio-E, because she said Bio-E is basically a joke and Bio-M looks better on your transcript because that covers all the really fundamental and significant topics of Bio.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input avman and van_sant! It really is helpful!</p>
<p>dolcevalse- thanks for the input too. What your teachers recommends is interesting; I've never heard that before! Is it because Bio-E is known to be a lot easier?</p>
<p>Anyone else have opinions regarding these subject tests?</p>
<p>a) well, I took Bio-M and Chem, and got an 800 and 780 respectively. I thought Bio was the easier test, but it’s not really straight forward. I took AP Bio and the bio subj test really just seemed like random info that you never really learn in AP, so a lot of “educated-guessing.” When I took Bio, I had just finished taking AP Bio (got a 5 on AP test), but I felt unsure of a lot of my answers.
b)Curve wise, Chem is easier. The curve is like 6 questions, while Bio’s curve is like 2 or 3 questions. For chem, you just have to know what you’d expect to have to know, like reactivity, laws, etc. so you can study for it easily, but you have to know your stuff to do well. I took AP chem and did about an hour of studying for the subject test.</p>
<p>zancew,
May I know what prep books you have used for Chem SAT prep. Thanks.</p>
<p>I haven’t taken the bio tests, but I got a 790 on chem with almost no preparation. If you’re taking AP Chem, the test is pretty darn easy.</p>
