HELP!!!USABO/CBO/IBO/Australian BO/Etc.

<p>Hey,
everyone.</p>

<p>I know there are some USABO/IBO related threads already, but this is different. How can I specialize in my preparation/in other words, how can I do really well and set myself apart from the other students?</p>

<p>I want to be in the top 4 students in the CBO's U of T National Biology Competition. It is similar to the American and Australian biology olympiad beginning rounds.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any suggestions?</p>

<p>I know people say "read the Campbell Biology textbook".</p>

<p>But how can I differentiate myself from the others? Is there anything else that I can do to prepare? Is there any special or recommended method to reading this textbook.</p>

<p>I am in the same positition as you. Reading Campbell is not enough - you have to memeorzie it completely. Then move on to Biology by Raven - and memorize that as well as Plants by Raven. If you completely know bout these 3000+ pages of biology info, then you should be in perfect shape.</p>
