What Our Students Have to Say

Thank you for another great session!. Perfect as always. You are the best Biology tutor that can ever be.

Cat, Hong Kong

The Online Biology tutors here have helped my daughter immensely in preparing for her AP Biology exam. She finally achieved a 4 on the AP Biology exam which I owe entirely to the help by her biology tutors.

About the SAT Biology Exam

Dates of Exam: Tentative test dates- Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, May & June.every year

SAT - II : Biology
The SAT- II biology is further divided into two parts:

Biology Ecological (Biology E)
Biology Molecular (Biology M).

Biology E concerns mainly with topics related to biological communities, population genetics, energy flow and ecosystems.

Biology M includes topics related to biochemistry, cell structure, photosynthesis and respiration.

Pattern of the exam

It is an hour long exam with 80 questions in all. Out of the 80 questions 60 are multiple choice,common to both E and M while 20 remaining questions are subject based on the basis of the choice elected i.e. E or M. 200-800 points are awarded.

The questions are divided into three major groups based on the type of the skill required to answer a particular question.

Conceptual and knowledge based questions. (30%)	It tests the ability to recall the concept and answer accordingly	E.g. What is the location of cellular respiration? 4 choices will be given and best appropriate answer needs to be chosen
Application based questions. (35%)	It tests the understanding of the subject and analysis the data to reach a conclusion.	E.g. A hypothetical situation is given where one needs to determine the effect of decrease in temperature on the metabolism of a bird or a lizard.
Interpretation based questions. (35%)	This section tests the ability to analyze the data given in the form of a chart or graph and the questions that follows.	E.g. The growth curve of bacteria at 37°C is given based on the observation of the graph predict the time when the growth is maximum

Important tips:

Use of calculators is not allowed.
Both the tests cannot be taken on the same dates, but can be taken on two different dates.
For every right answer one point is awarded,1/4 mark is deducted for a wrong attempt and 0 points awardee for a blank answer.
