AP Biology Exam - do we need to know this?

Test Preparation AP Sciences

<p>Hey everyone!
My AP biology teacher has never taught this course before, so she's not of much help when it comes to knowing what is ahead of us for the AP exam in May.
I know they've changed the AP biology curriculum a bit in recent years, but does anyone know if we need to know in great detail about:
-plant structure
-all the biotechnology discussed in chapter 20 of Campbell Reece
-all the different types/characteristics of the biomes
I've read about 90% of the Campbell Reece textbook already, but I just need to know whether or not I should memorize the above!
Thank you for helping me out!</p>

<p>Yes to all three. It’s not gonna be fun memorizing all that crap :P</p>

<p>Sigh. Thanks for letting me know.
By any chance, do you know where I can access any of the old multiple choice questions from previous exams? I can only find the FRQs from College Board, but nothing else.</p>

<p>I used this</p>

<p>Can you help any with my question? </p>

<p>Ask your teacher for practice exams. Collegeboard has shifted availability of all AP exams to teachers only.</p>

<p>Unfortunately it’s my teacher’s first time teaching AP. She doesn’t have a clue</p>

<p>Definitely know the biotechnology stuff. I’m sure biomes and plants are on the list of material covered by the AP exam, but I don’t recall seeing a single question about those on the 2013 exam.</p>

<p>Thanks Nicknicholas! Do you remember if anything about specific types of protist, fungi, vertebrates and invertebrates were on the exam?</p>

<p>6ofhearts, I went to your link, but I was planning on taking the practice test later, so I left it on. My computer ate up my tabs though, yet when I clicked it again, it said “404 Not Found” :frowning: Do you know where you can find it again?</p>

<p>The link still works for me, doodledork. Try refreshing the page again?</p>

<p>I tried; it still doesn’t work. That’s alright, though. Turns out my teacher had us do the exact practice test today in class!</p>
