<p>^ There is no way of knowing if we got a perfect score; only CB would know that. The score report includes nothing more than your score of 1-5.</p>
<p>so, is anyone else NOT done with the curriculum? we are finishing plants tomorrow.</p>
<p>My class is doing plants right now and has yet to start on anatomy, physiology, ecology, and all that good stuff that comes after plants in Campbell’s book. Consider yourself lucky.</p>
<p>Hi,
I am very worried about the frqs, are there any topics that I should know very well for those (like guaranteed to show up?), someone told me that evolution always pops up. Also, for the labs, do I need to memorize all the different chemicals and things? Is there a bare minimum that I should know for the labs, and where can I find this info? Also, any predictions for this year’s frq? (I’m not taking the class and I started self-studying very recently, so I’m panicking about what to study the most, so that I can make it count.). Thank you!</p>
<p>The 3rd edition of Cliffs’ actually lists topics you should definitely know for the FRQ section. If you’d like, I can share the list with you.</p>
<p>@Ronaldofan94: YES! Please share some information with the rest of us. My AP Bio was SUCH a slacker and I need all the help I can get :)</p>
<p>Also, is there alot of embryology on the AP Exam? (I HATE GRAY CRESCENTS).</p>
<p>Hello,
Just beginning to cover the Plant and Animal Structure and Function units and doing that all out of a review book…Collegeboard says that those units are 32% of the exam…should I be expecting a FRQ? Do those percents change?</p>
<p>ANY quick tips for learning the structures and functions of the different systems?!</p>
<p>Wejust started ecology. Its the last section of our textbook
Were finishing thecourse thisweek…</p>

<p>Hello!</p>
<p>I know that Cliffs is the best one for AP Bio, but if I cannot work well with it, can I use TPR+REA Crash Course and still be able to reach 5 on AP Bio Exam?</p>

<p>^^BEST SITE EVER! WATCH BIO VIDS!</p>
<p>So with not much time left, i’m self-studying and I’ve gotten through about half the material. I’m going to finish up reading the bio teacher’s ppts, then gonna go through all of Cliffs. Hopefully that will be done by the end of this week. What do you guys think the most productive use of my time after this will be? (keep in mind that I’m learning this stuff first, before I can “review” it) Thanks!</p>
<p>anyone can predict what the FOR questions will cover? I think that there should be at least something about protein?</p>
<p>Someone asked, so these are the Cliff Notes Must Know Essay Questions btw: </p>
<p>Cells: cell structure, especially structure and function of plasma membrane
Respiration: respiration and mitchondria
Photosynthesis: photosynthesis and chloroplats
Cell Division: Mitosis and meiosis
Molecular Genetics: DNA structure and replication
Molecular Genetics: protein synthesis
Evolution: natural selection
Evolution: speciation
Plants: reproduction in flowering plants
Plants: plant tropisims and hormones (esp. auxin)
Animal structure and function: nerve transmissions
Animal structure and function: muscle contraction
Animal Reproduction and Development: Menstrual cycle
Ecology: succession
Ecology: Biochemical cycles </p>
<p>Ughh… I should be on super cram mode, but instead I am on the computer and worrying about what’s going to be on the test! Yikes!</p>
<p>I’m not in AP Bio, but our teacher gave us this worksheet for the Mitosis/Meiosis unit. We never took it up though, so I don’t know what the correct answers are:
[AP</a> Biology - Meiosis Worksheet](<a href=“http://www.docstoc.com/docs/10909460/AP-Biology---Meiosis-Worksheet]AP”>http://www.docstoc.com/docs/10909460/AP-Biology---Meiosis-Worksheet)</p>
<p>Are the answers for the first question:
3, 4, 9, 1, 7, 5, 2, 8, and 6?</p>
<p>And then on the second page:
- metaphase I meiosis (given)
- anaphase I and II (or is this only 1, because the chromotids move apart in II?)
- anaphase I and II (same thing as above)
- telophase II
- interphase I
- metaphase I and II
- prophase I and II
- anaphase I and II
- telophase I
- anaphase I and II (?)
- telophase I and II (only II?)
- prophase I and II (is this only I, since they’re chromatids in II?)
- anaphase II
- prophase I and II
- prophase I and II
- prophase II</p>
<p>It’s a lot of questions, sorry, but it should be good practice for some of you? (:</p>
<p>Hey everyone, I’m an AP Bio student whos teacher has covered only half the information… so in preparation for the exam I have begun taking REALLY condensed notes for the second half of the material. If I have time then I will go back and do the first half. Also, I will be continually posting on this thread the links as I finish each section of notes. I hope this helps!</p>

<p>*Please keep in mind these are notes for cramming… meaning they do not cover ALL the material and do not go into extranneous detail.</p>

<p>I didn’t fully do the worksheet, I’ll print it out on my normal computer tomorrow and complete it to avoid socializing with family at the gathering tomorrow, but it seems very helpful. So, thank you very much, I’m sure it’ll be good practice!</p>

Unfortunately for me, it seems that all the things that I know REALLY well are the things that have the lowest percentages for being on the test. So, in glancing over the notes quickly, they seem helpful, so I’d like to thank you as well. Bio Diversity has been a pain for me. The notes will probably help with my obsessive flash-card making. XD</p>
<p>Why did I device to procrastinate this? I’m self-studying and just starting now. Ah well. Khan Academy + Campbell’s. Can anyone tell me if the Campbell’s practice tests are easier/harder than the exams or link me to/share previously released exams? </p>
<p>Also, is the curve still ~2/3 MC + cumulative 20/40 on your FRQs for a 5? </p>
<p>And is one of the FRQs always a graphing/basic calculation thing?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>If you’re JUST starting now, then I’d totally recommend using a review book and not all of Campbell’s. Campbell’s would be best for just supplemental when you need more in-depth explanations of concepts you don’t understand. Otherwise, I’d recommend using Cliffs and PR for review tests.
My honors Bio teacher recommended that I do that, even if using Campbell’s and taking an AP Bio class would make me a better biologist. (Which turns out, now I have time in my schedule for AP Bio next year XD).
Best wishes to you on your tests!</p>
<p>^My bad :S I’m using CliffsNotes. I don’t know why I confused the two :</p>
