I did my SAT Biology in October after my AS exams. It was fairly hard and I prepared from the Kaplan book. I got a 750. Good enough, but I had potential to do better. I also gave SAT Chem in the same sitting (studied from Barron's) and got an 800. I did Physics in Dec and studied for it for only one week and managed to get a 780. If you put a summer or a good 2 months in to it, it's not that hard. Good luck!

I would disagree with this. Neither AS or A2 is must. I think a good knowledge of biology from grade 8, 9 and 10 along with a good memory and the ability to grasp concepts just by reading should suffice. It's nothing too complex. My two cents.
