Back to FAQ 2. How do I know if I should be taking the SAT II subject test in biology?
Usually, strong science students in the honors biology classes at Ramaz do very well on this exam. Students who are in the accelerated biology classes and are doing especially well may also score nicely on this exam, though all will need to learn more material on their own. The best way to know if it is right for you to take this exam is to ask your biology teacher. Your teacher will be able to judge how much extra work you will need to devote to biology in the weeks preceding the exam to be prepared for it. If you have to put in a great deal of extra time and effort to prepare for this exam, it may not be worthwhile. The extra time might be put to better use in completing your other school work, in reading, or in just relaxing. There will be many opportunities to take other SAT II tests later in your high school career, should you need them. No college requires the SAT II exam in biology.
