<p>i agree i ABHOR Taxonomy!! i think ill cry if its on the short ans!</p>
<p>Taxonomy can suck it. It shouldn’t even be included in AP Bio. Just no.
Anyway, these reviews are amazinggg: [YouTube</a> - bozemanbiology’s Channel](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/user/bozemanbiology]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/user/bozemanbiology)</p>
<p>However, if you didn’t already learn the information, you won’t get it. My advice is to watch all of them, and for the ones you don’t understand, learn them from the textbook or a website or something. So you’ll have review for the stuff you and know and fill in the gaps of what you didn’t learn.</p>
<p>are the cliffs’ ap bio practice tests an accurate depiction of your actual score?</p>
<p>I don’t think any practice tests are accurate representations unless they are past AP Bio exams. You can find them online. They’re way, way better than Cliff’s. Also, the College Board recycles MC questions, and you’ll be able to recognize some trends if you take the past AP tests.</p>
<p>From your experiences, how much harder is Barons? Like if I get -30 (really a -37 or a 63%) do I still have a chance for a 5?</p>
<p>I am in the same situation. Absolutely clueless. I took the 2002 practice and missed about 40, so I am freaking out. Also, there wasn’t anything on there that really required you to know your labs. and for the FRQ’s, what information should you include when you design a lab?</p>
<p>where exactly can you find past ap tests for MC? I only found the 20 question one from college board. I want real, 60 question exam.</p>
<p>^ It’s 100 questions…</p>
<p>From google searches. My teacher gave us the 1995, 2002, 2005, and 2008 exams. The first three I mentioned you can find online in probably ten minutes.</p>
<p>Going to start the review process tomorrow. Gotta read through Cliffs (est. 8 hrs) then do practice tests.</p>
<p>Also, someone said something about needing to know the labs? You don’t. In my AP Bio class we didn’t do any, and didn’t learn any, and I still got 5s and good scores on the past FRQs that pertained to labs. All the information you need is in the question and your general knowledge of AP Bio.</p>
<p>yeah 100 questions, i was thinking of the 60% weight, who cares.</p>
<p>Anyone know if barrons is much harder than the actual MC? Is cliff notes more of the norm?</p>
<p>k thanks i found everything. good luck guys.</p>
<p>Are the Sparknotes tests supposed to be hard? Or am I just one of a few that got a 3 on it…</p>
<p>^^ would you mind posting the tests trav? = D</p>
<p>@ olleger: the Barrons books are all known to be harder than the real thing. I can’t say anything for AP Bio specifically, maybe someone else has personal experience with it?</p>
<p>^ Those were my thoughts exactly. I’ve had experience in other tests (ACT/SAT/SAT II Math) and Barrons was MUCH harder than the actual thing, but for AP Bio, I have 0 reference = /.</p>
<p>Edit: Just took the 45 questions CB offers on their site (don’t have a released exam… wink wink anyone want to hook me up?) and I only missed three questions! on Barrons out of 100 I missed around 30… Something’s up.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone. :B I think I feel a little bit more prepared.
I think I’m still gonna read the crash course book along with my cliffs AP, and watch some of the Bozeman videos on youtube. :B</p>
<p>Hopefully I pass. (:</p>
<p>@olleger: I think you should go by CB :p</p>
<p>@missameliax: I believe in you! 
And those Bozeman videos are good–I used them to prepare for an AP Bio test earlier in the year and ended up getting a 62.5/65 on it.</p>
