<p>As the test is coming up soon, I thought I’d make a thread for discussion. How are you all preparing? I’m using Barron’s SAT II and Cliff’s Notes, which I hope will be enough for a 780+.</p>
<p>I’m using Barron’s and will probably go to the library/book store and do the PR practice tests</p>
<p>Hey guys, bump for the night before the test. I finished both Barron’s practice tests and both Cliff’s practice tests. I’m taking the official CB test tonight to gauge where I am. How’s everyone else doing?</p>
<p>I took the barron’s first test last week and got a 630 haha. Then I took CB the same day and got 740. Today I took barron’s and got a 740 again. Considering Barron’s is usually harder, I think I should be fine.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, sounds like you’re doing well. I need to review human physiology a bit more. It’s the longest section in Barron’s.</p>
<p>Can the official CB test be found online? If not, I’ll just look over the AP questions I’ve done… using Cliffnotes and PR (not sure how useful it is).</p>
<p>Also, Studious, you mentioned that we could switch between E/M (browse them and then see which ones are easier). Are the E/M questions scrambled into the test or are they a section all on their own, where you can just bubble the one you want to take? Confused about the test formatting basically.</p>
<p>^ The E and M portions are clearly defined. The first 60 questions of every test is the same. After that, students taking E answer questions 61-80, and students taking M answer questions 81-100. The format makes it very easy to switch between tests.</p>
<p>I got 770 and 750 in Barron’s today~ So happy. I hope I can get a high 700s, or even, 800 on this test tommorrow.</p>
<p>I just got an 800 on the official CB test! I only missed one, and it was because I misread “pituitary” as “pancreas” (I must have been moving too quickly). 800s in Barron’s as well. Crossing my fingers for tomorrow.</p>
<p>Can you post some of the official CB questions? I don’t have the test. 
Just the question would be a great help - I’m really scared right now.</p>
<p>They’re very similar to the Barron’s questions, so don’t worry. Here’s one question:</p>
<p>Behavior that remains unaffected by environmental changes is most likely</p>
<p>(A) territorial
(B) learned
(C) innate
(D) stereotyped
(E) conditioned</p>
<p>^is the answer C?</p>
<p>anybody know how much of plants is gonna be on the test because I can’t remember anything from it lol</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! I got 640/740 on the two barrons’ tests, but I didn’t study too much Human Phys @_@ or Ecology. Probably going molecular, regardless of the lower curve.</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s C. </p>
<p>Here’s an easy question I got wrong:</p>
<p>All of the following are metabolic wastes EXCEPT</p>
<p>(A) water
(B) CO2
(C) uric acid
(D) urea
(E) O2</p>
<p>^ E.</p>
<p>Yes, it’s C.</p>
<p>So I was able to get a 710 and then a 740 in Barrons, where do you think that puts me for the test tomorrow?</p>
<p>I got a 740 on the second barron’s test as well. The official tests seems easier than barron’s</p>
<p>I really don’t like plants or ecology.</p>
<p>The official test is easier from what I’ve seen. Boost your Barron’s score by 30 points or so to see roughly your real score.</p>
<p>@Studious, do you have a tip for the lab sections? I almost never miss anything on the regular multiple choice, but I sometimes miss some on the lab questions…</p>
<p>Can someone explain how oxygen isn’t a metabolic waste? Plants give off oxygen during photosynthesis.</p>
