Although you may have already completed the SAT for your college applications, you might also need to take one or more SAT Subject Tests depending on your future plans. Taking the SAT II Biology Subject Test is required by some schools if you want to study many natural science areas. You may consider taking the test even if your top choice schools don’t require it, as a good score could help you stand out from other applicants. The “M” version of the SAT II Biology Subject Test is an ideal choice if you plan to study molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, or related fields. The SAT II Biology M is an 80-question, multiple-choice test, which you have one hour to complete. The first 60 questions deal with core biology concepts, and the final 20 questions focus on specific molecular concepts and processes, such as cellular structure and translation.
