Which one?: Bio-E, Bio-M, or Chem?

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?

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Thanks for the input avman and van_sant! It really is helpful!

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?

Anyone else have opinions regarding these subject tests?
