I signed up to take the sat II bio this saturday.. I took AP biology last year, but forgot almost everything.. I previously took the bio test on May before the AP bio exam and got a 660 without studying. I haven't studied bio since, but would like to get a 700+ this Saturday. Would reading the Princeton Review Biology over 5 days help me achieve this score? Or would it be wiser just not to take it because I have already forgotten all the material?

I would read PR and do the sparknotes practice tests. Personally, I find that the sole difficulty on the test is going over human anatomy (primarily because it was the thing we least covered during AP last year), so going over anatomy (i.e. lung structure and function, heart, nervous system, immune system, musculo skeletal etc) will help give you a good amount of "free points." If you had a 660 last year, you probably just had a lot of silly mistakes-- a 700 should be attainable in the post AP period relatively easily.

I took the SAT II Bio test in June, and felt that Princeton Review was definitely lacking in material. I got a 750+, but had I not used my AP Cliff's Book to study for the AP Bio exam, I would have scored much less. Use PR for basic comprehension, but try to supplement it with a more thorough review book- possibly Barron's or AP Cliff's.

Whats up with the grading on the sparknotes tests. I only got a 620, and when i went back to check my mistakes, I find half of the ones that were marked wrong are actually right.


"B is not the correct answer. You should have selected B."

Seeing messages like ^ make me wonder if these sparknotes tests are even worth my (or anyone elses) time.
