Test Preparation AP Sciences

Since the AP Biology test is coming up soon, I thought it would be best to ask for advice from others on how to not die … Currently I’m not using a review book, and instead going over all my teacher’s Powerpoints (his whole course is Powerpoints) and doing a lot of practice tests from the Collegeboard and Barons. I really want a 5 (who doesn’t?), but I know most people recommend review books. Should I abandon my current strategy and cram with a review book like Cliff’s or something or should I continue reviewing all the Powerpoints and studying as I was?

Honestly I’m freaking out right now… Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated!

I’m also taking the Bio exam this year, and I have the Princeton Review book. There are only two practice exams in the book and they’re not necessarily AP caliber. The book basically provides a brief overview of the course, with multiple choice questions after each unit. So if you know all of the material and are getting practice tests elsewhere, the books aren’t necessary.

My AP Bio teacher provided us with reviews - an outline of the standards and some activities (“provide 3 examples of” and the like) so that’s what I’m using.

@OneNormalKnight did your teacher perhaps provide those materials digitally??
