I took AP Biology this year and finished the class with a B+. On the AP Exam, I got a 4, which is less than perfect I realize but still a decent score. Why, then, did only get a 560 on my SAT II? I took the M exam becuase that is what my teacher had focused on the whole year. However, when I began the test, I was so nervous (it was my first type of SAT ever) and i began bubbling in the wrong area! I didnt realize this until halfway through the test so I had to go back and fix all of it… by that time, I only had about 20 minutes to finish the rest of the exam (40 questions!) and I got even more nervous I couldnt even focus on the questions on hand or read the lab set ups I was supposed to analyze. It was a mess to say the least, and I know I could have done much better. Theres no excuse for a 560 for someone who took AP biology and I really dont want the colleges I am applying to to think Im ■■■■■■■■… especially since I am applying to some Ivies. Should I retake it? I know I can do better!!
