as of right now i have a 600 on the sat subject test but my teacher is helping me out and once i learn the labs and the ecology section of the test and with constant studying all the way to june i hope to have it around the high 600s or love 700s. with the ap test coming up what would a 3 on the ap test convert to on a subject test? that would help me gage whether or not i will take the exam. i am studying VERY VERY hard right now and i have both a subject test and ap test review book. my teacher is also having 9 ap biology review sessions to help us out, 3 of which are 5 hours long and 6 of which are 3 hours long. with all this help and my constant studying, should i take the ap exam? there is roughly 3 weeks left till the exam. i am not in ap bio in my school but i am a step up from regular but just not the most advanced class.
 
hmm i guess you can take it if you really want to, but i think not taking is better because AP tests are really hard, for any subject, and most colleges nowadays only accept 4 or 5 and seriously, it's really hard to get 4 or 5 on the exam. Also, if you're not in AP bio, you should have signed up before March in order to take the test--that's the deadline for Collegeboard. yea i say just focus on the subject test and try to understand the concept--i dont think you should attend all of the review sessions either--it's too time consuming and wouldn't fully help you comprehend the material 100%. In my experience, all of the review sessions were useless, it was just students asking questions and teachers trying to answer them...Studying by myself for that much time taken was totally better
