Which SAT Subject test is easier Biology E/M or Chemistry and if biology which side, E or M?
Favorite Answer
The Chemistry SAT Subject Test is virtually impossible to score above 700 unless you have taken AP/IB or Honors Chemistry. That test asks very detailed questions, that you will most likely not have covered unless you’ve taken an advanced course.
Biology E is more difficult than Biology M for most, because many biology classes stress the molecular aspects of biology more than the ecological. However, if you were a whiz in the ecology unit of biology, by all means take that version.
Biology M is the easiest of the three for anybody. But if you have taken an advanced Chemistry class or were a whiz at ecological biology, consider those tests as easy.
A caveat:
It is difficult to receive a score greater than 600 on Chemistry if you do not self-teach certain topics: because chem programs around the country focus on different areas, the SAT subject test covers all of them. Your teacher will not have taught all the necessary topics–it simply isn’t practical.
