You could try taking practice tests and seeing which you do better on, but the prep books aren’t always that accurate.
I had a chance to look briefly at the E and M questions on the test before having to choose…the proctor says you may open your book and then, a minute later or so, you bubble in which test you are taking. This helped me affirm my decision to take E…I saw questions about enzymes on M and heredity questions on E–I just find that stuff easier.
E is, I think, a bit less vocab/memorization and a little more reasoning/logic than M. I think the average score for E is lower than M, but I am pretty sure I would have done worse on M (I got a 740) and my AP class hardly did any ecology/animal behavior type stuff. So, you can probably succeed at either. Remember, it’s just 20 questions out of 100, the core is general bio.
