Study for both, as you will need common information for both. There are 60 common questions and 40 (I think) pertaining to the focus you select. Basically, if you pick E you get more ecology, evolution & diversity questions, and if you pick M you get more cells, biochem and genetics questions. You’ll have to know those concepts no matter which test you take, so (as I said) study for both. You get to see both sections so you can go ahead and pick the one you like best/can do best on.

I studied Barrons along with a regular high school bio course (not AP) my freshman year and reviewed what we didn’t cover (plants, taxonomy, hormones, etc) and got a 740.

Best of luck!
