<p>Are we suppose to finish the whole Campbell/Reece 7th edition before the AP Exam? Or is there a chapter were we stop? How are we expected to cover 55 chapters before May?</p>
<p>My class is covering all of the units but skipping a few, maybe like ~5-15 chapters.</p>
<p>Don’t listen to your teachers, read the entire book. If anything, ATLEAST read over the chapter once or use a review materials to cover the information that you didn’t read in the textbook. Here is the topic outline for the exam. Make sure you know EVERYTHING listed below.</p>
