I took it a few years ago. It's definitely not hard, i got a 730, and I know i could have done better.
By the way, try to take Biology E instead of M, its a lot easier =/
I took M and thats why i didnt get as high as i thought i would.
2009 events:
Fossils: 1st @ reg. 3rd @ states (stupid dinosaurs...) 5th @ nats.
Dynamic: 1st @ reg. 19thish @ states, 18th @ nats
Herpetology (NOT the study of herpes): NA
Enviro Chem: 39th @ states =(
Cell Bio: 9th @ reg. 18th @ nats
Remote: 6th @ states 3rd @ Nats
Ecology: 5th @ Nats

I'm taking it next Saturday. I noticed that even though my bio course emphasizes molecular biology, I tend to do better at ecological biology so I think i'm going to take E

i'm taking it next saturday too. I'm pretty sure that i'm gonna take E because the same score gives you a higher Percentile ranking.

I'm also taking it this Saturday... I'm taking M, though, no matter what gneissisnice says, because I hate ecology, and chemistry is my absolute favorite (which would be on M rather than E).

Never mind that I did the event... I still hate ecology.

Which means nothing except more people get fewer questions right.

well....yes except it can also mean it might be harder because less questions were gotten right thus less were answerd and/or gotten wrong
