Description: The Princeton Review realizes that acing the SAT II: Biology E/M exam is very different from getting straight As in school. They don't try to teach students everything there is to know about biology--only what they'll need to score higher on the exam. There's a big difference. In Cracking the SAT II: Biology E/M, The Princeton Review will teach test takers how to think like the test makers and: * Score higher by reviewing key biology concepts * Earn more points by becoming familiar with the format of the test * Safeguard against test traps that can lower scores * Perfect skills by practicing review questions in each chapter *** This book includes 2 full-length simulated SAT II: Biology E/M exams. All of the sample test questions are just like the ones test takers will see on the actual exam, and every solution is fully explained. Contents Include: I Introduction Point 1: Approaching the Test Strategically Point 2: Teaching You the Biology You Need to Know to do Well on the Exam II The Exam Format, Question Types, and Strategies The Format Classification Questions Five-Choice Questions Laboratory Five-Choice Questions Strategy 1: Study the Right Stuff the Right Way Strategy 2: Practice the Right Stuff at the Right Time Strategy 3: Easy Stuff First Strategy 4: Take a Guess, but Guess Smart Strategy 5: Choosing the "Wrong" Answer--Least/Except/Not Questions Strategy 6: I, II, III--You're Out!
