<p>I only took Bio H (I’m a freshman), and in class we didn’t even finish everything yet lol. You can definitely do it as someone who only took Bio H, but you need a good book to study. I just read every chapter of Barron’s once, every practice test, and all the practice questions in the Barron’s.</p>
<p>What do you think?</p>
<p>The college board blue book - subject test book for Bio SAT 2 says that a raw score of 61 is 700. Do you think the raw score will be lower due to the test being difficult or will it still be 61? Thanks. :)</p>
<p>In my biology class, we barely learned anything.
I still took the SAT II though.
(I had to retake because I got a 690 on the May one, which I was direly unprepared for. I think I got an 800 this time around though, since half of the questions were identical to the ones on the May one hah)</p>
<p>And to that question, it will most likely be a 61. On all of the SAT IIs, that is usually the round I believe. </p>
<p>And when studying for the SAT II, reading through Barron’s is okay if you’re going for around a 790 but sometimes it can be inefficient, despite what some people say. I read the SAT II study guide for bio by Princeton Review and Barron’s thoroughly twice and skimmed twice more before I took it the first time, but there was some information that wasn’t covered in the books (some of the information wasn’t in cliffnotes either).</p>
<p>can someone put up a consolidated answers list? and also about the insects and tree decomposing question, still debating between bell curve and negative line. I put the negative line but i think there are equal arguments for either choice. the cell diagram (#1-4) was pretty sketchy looking too</p>
<p>So just want everyones gut feeling here…do we think it will be a decent curve or not?
^ I think not. I found it to be fairly simple. I finished all of the MC in 30 minutes so I had plenty of time to double check my answers. Considering I’m not too great at biology (I probably got a 3 on my AP omg), people with better backgrounds in biology will have found the test even easier than I did, which probably means there is a low or average round.</p>
<p>The only things that stumped me were the first three questions because the diagram looked so mediocre I was like whaaaa-? Is this even a cell? Oh hah it is.</p>

^ OMG so I wasn’t the only one that thought that. Yeah, the first diagram was so weird. I wasn’t sure if B was a mitochondria or not. For the longest time I thought it was a ribosome, but then I saw something that looked like ER with little specks on it so… I dunno.</p>
<p>And for the bell curve one, I put the bell shaped curve. The same question was on the May test, and I put the one that looks like logistic growth, and I think that question was a factor in the low score I got. @__@</p>
<p>Ohmygosh no. On the eye diagram, I wasn’t sure where rods and cones were located but I was fairly sure of my guess… I guessed retina…
But then changed my answer to the top part of the eye gaahhh.
I may have gotten around a 780. Yikes.</p>
<p>also, idk if this was said earlier but this sat was basically the december 2010 sat bio</p>
<p>Oh really?</p>
<p>There were similarities with this one and the May 2012 one as well.
Collegeboard must be lazy.</p>
<p>Oh wow the december 2010 one and the June 2012 one are pretty much identical.</p>
<p>I should have studied that before I went in.</p>
<p>yeah, and all the bio sat tests in 2010 & 2011. 
I hope none of you guys and future creepers study like that because that’s worse than us talking about the questions :{</p>
<p>I usually breeze through the bio test in ~30 minutes but this time I took time to check my work (and piece together the math ii section I had before this.)</p>
<p>When I was double checking, I found a wrong answer and decided to change it. Right when I bubbled in half of the circle they called time, so I couldn’t finish. I know my answer change is right, but do you think they won’t consider it since it is only filled in half way? (It’s a swirl with white parts basically, not a semicircle of black and a semicircle of white)</p>
<p>@gomdorri</p>
<p>But dec2010 wasn’t released so how could people have had access to it?</p>
<p>I just looked at the December 2010 CC forums and all of the questions discussed are ones that I recognize being on the June 2012 test.</p>
<p>so did u guys ever agree on the answer to the yeast growth to 48 hours?</p>
<p>I still believe it’s 50,000 for yeast, but I don’t think we’ve reached a consensus yet.</p>
<p>I think it’s 50,000 as well. While the graph was exponential growth, I believe it was asking about AVERAGE growth rate.</p>
<p>I got 50000 as well because the first 24 hours were linear</p>
<p>I agree on 50,000. question went something like this:</p>
<p>Based on the results of the first 24 hours, how much will the population be at 48 horus?</p>
