<p>Ok, I've been taking random tests on the net, and I was wondering if the Sparknotes Tests for the SAT works? I also have Barron's Study textbook. How should I go about studying? I have until May 10th.</p>
<p>First, and perhaps most importantly, you need to pace yourself. We still have 17 days left, and with an AP review book (such as your Barron’s book), one can easily review for just a short time each night and still be done reviewing in time.</p>
<p>How should you study? READ the material! Don’t just read and see the information; read and understand the information.
I’m using the Cliff’s review book and reading one unit each day. It is divided into 14 units, plus a lab section, and two practice tests. Here is my schedule for reviewing each section of the book. Hopefully you will be able to correlate the units of the Cliff’s book to your Barron’s book and may be able to follow a similar pattern.</p>
<p>Unit – Material
1 - Chemistry
2 - Cells
3 - Cellular Respiration
4 - Photosynthesis
5 - Cell Division
6 - Heredity
7 - Molecular Genetics
8 - Evolution
9 - Biological Diversity
10 - Plants
11 - Animal Form and Function (Systems)
12 - Animal Reproduction and Development
13 - Animal Behavior
14 - Ecology
15 - Laboratory Review
16 - Practice Tests 1 and 2</p>
<p>Do one a day, and you will be done in time. It may be a good idea to do an extra unit or two if you have time, so that you can make up for any unforeseen lagging behind. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I actually just borrowed the Cliff’s book from the library! :D</p>
<p>Awesome! It’s not extremely in-depth, but it seems to be sufficient. If you payed attention in class throughout the year and kept up in class (that is, if you aren’t self-studying), then it should be plenty to recall prior knowledge. </p>
<p>Each unit is around twenty pages (some are a bit shorter, some a bit longer), which is honestly not too much for one day… especially when you consider that each unit also has some multiple choice questions, FRQs, and answers for both. :)</p>
<p>So do you think one unit a day is good?</p>
<p>Oh and we haven’t really gone through all of our textbook in class. Like some of the body systems we haven’t gone through in depth… should I do those on my own?</p>
<p>Yes, I recommend doing that. It’s interesting that you mention that, because we are in the same predicament. We skipped a couple of chapters, and have only addressed like three of the body systems. I’d recommend covering whatever you skipped FIRST, then going back and reviewing everything in order. That way, you’ll cover all the material (including the stuff you previously skipped) twice. :)</p>
<p>And yeah, a unit a day seems good to me. Like I said, it’s not too much, but it’s enough to pace yourself fairly and be done in time. You don’t want to cram too much information in a day, or you won’t store it in your long-term memory.</p>
<p>have you done these tests yet?</p>

<p>do you think that work fine for the AP test?</p>
<p>I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt, but not sure as to how much it would help. I’ve only done the AP tests on SparkNotes ([SparkNotes:</a> AP Biology: Test Center](<a href=“http://testprep.sparknotes.com/testcenter/ap/biology/]SparkNotes:”>http://testprep.sparknotes.com/testcenter/ap/biology/)). I’ll check out the SAT Subject Test some time.</p>
