How similar is the AP Biology test to the SAT Subject Test in Biology?

<p>I am taking AP Bio right now, and I want to know how similar they are. When I took a practice test, I got a score of 5 on my AP Bio exam. How will this correlate to my Bio Subject Score? Is it harder to get a higher score? How many can you get incorrect in the SAT Subject Test and still maintain a decent score?</p>

<p>You'll probably do very well if you got a 5. My tutors (at UCLA graduate school I think) told me that the AP is more detailed and SAT is a broad understanding. You can choose to take the Ecology or Molecular section. Ecology has a better curve because most people think it's harder. </p>

<p>As for the scores (I digged out my Barron's)</p>

<p>Biology E - 800 (Raw score - 73-80), 790 (Raw score - 72), 780 (Raw Score - 70-71)
Biology M - 800 (Raw score - 76-80), 790 (Raw score - 75), 780 (Raw Score - 73-74)</p>

<p>Hope this helps. =)</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>So, there are 80 questions I assume?</p>
