<p>Hi,</p>

<p>So far, I tried two practice exams, and I scored a 4 on them. One week is left until the test. What could be done to jump from a 4 to 5? Are there any better ways than to just keep reviewing and rereading about things I don't understand well?
Also, I didn't cover any labs, and I saw very little lab questions on the practice exams. But would it be worthwhile to go over them as well? Would that make a significant difference on my score, or should I just spend more time on studying more frequently-tested topics like Human Systems and Evolution?
Btw, I self-studied for this, and that's why I don't know much about the lab portion.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>there is usually a lab question on the free response section, so i think it would be worthwhile to study them. if you have cliffs as a prep book you should read the section about the labs, and maybe also try going to this site - <a href="http://sps.k12.ar.us/massengale/welcome_to_ap_biology.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://sps.k12.ar.us/massengale/welcome_to_ap_biology.htm&lt;/a> - and read the sample labs.</p>

<p>andreaaaaaa: Thanks for your post. I'll try those sample labs. But how much detail should you know about labs? For the test, aren't lab chapters on Cliffs enough by themselves?</p>

<p>yeah i think cliffs would be enough. i hope it is. also i think you need to have some general knowledge about how to conduct a controlled experiment, ect.</p>
