I took a practice SAT II Biology M Test consisting of 20 questions. I got 13 right and 7 wrong. How do I score this.
Explain the process of scoring it as well as the score I got for the practice test. Also tell me if the score I got was good, bad or average
Which class should I take?
I am going to take a class at a local college this summer. I want it to be a practical class, but also interesting. Here is the list of my narrowed-down choices:
Exploring Topics in Biology (to freshen my memory of biology in preparation for the Biology SAT Subject Test in the fall)
English (to strengthen my reading comp, writing, grammar, mechanics, etc in prepearation for the SAT in the fall)
Elementary Level German (just because I have really wanted to pursue this language)
U.S. History From 1876 to the Present (I have already taken U.S. History, but I would take this to strengthen my knoweledge for the US History SAT Subject Test in the fall)
If I had to choose a class strictly because I wanted to take it/it interests me, I would take either German or U.S. History, but I’m thinking that these would be less beneficial for me.
If it makes a difference, I already know another language other than English very well.
The real dilemma is this: the two courses that will benefit me the most (English and Biology) are the two least interesting to me. German is very interesting to me, although it will not benefit me at all for exams in the fall. U.S. History is also very interesting to me, but I have already taken that class but I would gladly take it again and it might help me for the exam in the fall. Will it look bad to colleges if I take U.S. History in school and a more intensive, post-1876 History class in the summer? Shouldn’t I take a different academic class or not necessarily?
I am really conflicted, so please try to persuade me. 
Thanks

I’ve just bought a Princeton review prep book for the SAT Biology. But, I don’t know whether the level of difficulty that I will face on the real SAT test would be about the same as my Princeton SAT prep book practice test. Can anybody tell me? Thanks a lot!
I just finished my sophomore year, and I believe I got a 3.56 GPA this year, but my weighted GPA is around 3.8. I’m planning on taking IB Diploma classes next year, and since I know my grades aren’t as impressive as they need to be, I’m going to be making a study group with a few friends of mine.
The IB classes I plan to take are: IB Junior and Senior English HL, IB Psychology SL, IB Anthropology SL, IB Biology HL 1-2 and 3-4, IB Theory of Knowledge, IB French 7-8 and 9-10 HL, and IB Math SL.
I play the piano, flute, and french horn, and I was nominated into the Oregon Ambassadors of Music program. I’ve done over 160 hours of community service last summer at the Oregon Zoo, I’m an International Studies Center Student Leader, I’ve applied to the Ignite Mentor program, and I was also accepted into the National Honors Society. I got a 175 on my PSAT (out of 240), and on a practice SAT, I got an 1840 (out of 2400). I plan to take SAT courses to improve this.
I know a lot of people stressing out over colleges, so I just wanted to have another person’s opinion on whether I would be able to get into Northwestern (based off of what I have so far, but under the assumption that I’d improve my test scores)
I attended a parochial school for 8 grades after which I obtained my GED. Now, over 10 years later, I would like to become a radiology tech. Several local colleges offer the program, but I’m going to have to study for my SAT/ACT before I can apply for them. Meanwhile, I would like to start taking related courses at my local community college. I would appreciate your opinions as to which courses I could be working on. Would biology, math, or algebra be a good introduction to the field? I have a job at a medical clinic as dr’s assistant/office assistant, and I’m going to keep working at the clinic part time while going to college, so I may end up taking an extra year or two at completing the radiology studies. But like I said, I won’t be able to enter college until I’ve completed my SAT/ACT, although i would like to start studying. What do you recommend I study?
I take the ACT with writing on June 12 and this will be my first time taking it. I’m going into the 10th grade so I’m a little nervous about the math part. I have a prep book and I will start on it tomorrow. Can you guys please give me other study/preparation tips and/or tell me what the test is like?! I’m also quite worried about the writing part because I don’t consider myself a writer. If you guys could please tell me what that is like that would be wonderful! Thanks!
By the way I have taken honors algebra, honors geometry, honors biology, and honors English but no AP classes. I also have a 4.0 GPA right now.
Or is the Barron’s book more similar to the real biology sat?
want to take the SATII in biology .
am currently taking an honors’ course in biology and do well
have reviewed sparks notes
what else do I need to work on. do I need to take special courses /kaplan for the satII
This Saturday I will be taking the subject tests in Math II, Biology E/M, and Chemistry.
Is there anything I can/need to do to prepare for any of these tests?
My preparation as far as classes goes:
Chemistry-I took honors Chemistry 2 years ago, this is probably the test that most worries me. What kind of things are on this test?
Biology-I took AP Bio last year, got a 5 on the AP test. I am planning on doing the Ecology section (because ecology in ap was way easier than molecular), but if the subject test for it is harder that would be useful to know.
Math-Alg 1, Geometry, Alg 2, PreCal (all honors). Currently taking AP CalAB. I might have forgotten some of the Geometry, but other than that I should be ok? (The PreCal was basically a review of Alg 2 then Trig.)
Any information as far as preparing goes would be appreciated, esp for Chem.
I would also like to know what kind of scores I should be aiming for if applying to the colleges which are just sub-ivy.
Thanks muchly.
