When applying to colleges, it is important to show your strengths to the admissions staff. Typically, this is proven through transcripts as well as standardized testing scores. The SAT is one of several ways in which higher education institutes can view your progress and skills. However, one SAT score is often not enough to satisfy a university. Many colleges now require students to submit several scores from the SAT Subject Tests as well. These tests are based on specific subjects, such as math and science, to showcase your abilities and provide the university with an insight on where you intend to focus your studies. The SAT II Biology E Subject Test is centered on ecological biology. All students sitting for the Biology examination answer the same set of 60 questions before being split into Ecology and Molecular Biology for the final 20 questions. This is the only SAT II Subject Test that allows you to decide which area you would like to focus on. While this may seem a bit overwhelming, there are many study materials available to help you prepare for test day.
