I've gotten 800 in both E/M. Is "real" biology test really like the real SAT II? Can anyone write down what they got on "real" and "really real" SAT II Biology?

It really isn't like the actual test. The main thing you can do is try to stop the anxiety you might get in the real testing situation, which is really why some ppl do better on practice tests. The actual test has a few questions that you clearly won't know (assuming you're taking this test after honors), and the labs are a bit harder. This doesn't mean that you can do very well on the actual test if you did very well on the practice, so don't let other people's numbers make you think that your max. score is limited.

"real" - 800 (i was pretty close to the 790 cutoff though)
actual (may 04)- 800 (i wasnt even close, got 800 by a huge margin)
