<p>I'm taking AP Bio next year, and I was wondering if could get any advice beforehand?</p>
<p>It was by far my hardest class but the test wasn’t that bad. Sooooo</p>
<p>My number one advice to you would have to be that make sure you understand the WHOLE picture, become a broad thinker. As an unlucky guinea pig for the new curriculum/new test, It was pretty difficult adjusting and relating the Four Main Ideas of Biology with the units covered. When students learn all these molecules, all the steps in the Krebs Cycle, types of speciation, zygotic barriers, developmental biology, signal transduction and how things happen and etc, and forget why it happens, and why do organisms do what they do. </p>
<p>Also, study, study and study some more. A lot of students in my class were the type of students who didn’t need to study for classes and cruised through…NOPE, not in this class. Read, go over the required material and regurgitate the high yield information. Make concept maps, make diagrams, say the information out loud, sing a song! Do whatever to make the information and theme stick. I got an overall grade of an A in that class by doing these things. Just remember that putting reading off until the last minute is a big no no, you’ll suffer, trust me lol.</p>
<p>Well good luck, work hard and have fun.</p>
