SAT BIOLOGY Questions

How much does the test discuss:

-The different phylums etc.
-Plant physiology (all the different parts and so on)
-Human physiology (all the hormones etc.)
-The different types of meiosis

Thanks!

I have Barron's but it seems like overkill.

P.S. In your experience, which is easier, E or M?

-The different phylums etc.- There are usually a few questions that cover this, either directly or indirectly. Just know the general characteristics of each.

-Plant physiology (all the different parts and so on)-depends on the test, there could be 3 problems or there could be 8. Sometimes there is more than one section of these type of questions.

-Human physiology (all the hormones etc.)-There are many questions over this topic. I would say it is probably the single most important (and arguably complex) type of material on the test. These problems can come form a wide range of topics and can be pretty specific.

-The different types of meiosis-Most of the questions are pretty straight forward on the core section. Questions about this in the M section seem to be more challenging (at least for me).

I personally think E is easier because the topics are more common sense and not as detail oriented. The one problem with E is that the few hard questions can be pretty random and hard to prepare for, but these represent only a few questions at the most. Bio M seems to have harder questions on average, but fewer random questions that you may not have prepared for. I got a 780 on Bio E, and I would recommend taking E to anyone who is not really strong at molecular questions.
