<p>The test is in may. i have been using 5 steps to a 5 and cliffsAP and now I am wondering if I should get Barrons...</p>

<p>Taxonomy is a ton of info and I am wondering how I am supposed to remember things like Cyanobateria. Chemosynthetic bacteria, Spirochetes, Acrasiomycota, Myzomycota, Oomycota, etc..</p>

<p>Do these detailed names and their distinctions show up often on the AP Bio Exam? What is the best way to memorize these names?</p>

<p>Another thing: If I had to buy something else: should i get the Barron's AP Bio review book or the 500 Barron's AP Bio Flash cards? or is what i have more than enough?</p>

<p>my class is pretty bad... we have not done evolution yet and about 5/60-70 students that take the exam get a 5. i really need a 5 on this exam to get full college credit.</p>

<p>and if possible, does anyone know where i can get some helpful study guides, review sheets, or worksheets?</p>

<p>I’d say to stick with Cliffs. Barrons will get you even more confused on taxonomy. I took the test last year and only remember about 2-3 multiple choice with phylums of fungus, protists. You should know some/most of the animal, plant, and bacteria phylums since they are fairly straightforward. I wouldn’t bother learning those ones too much. Physiology, genetics, evolution, and DNA/RNA replication, translation, and transcription are much more important concepts.</p>

<p>Biology is memorization, mostly anyway.</p>
