<p>So basically when I took Biology G/T Freshman year I never listened in class or did the homework since my life was absorbed by video games. Now, as a senior, Im taking Biology AP however I really want to turn over a new leaf. The problem is nothing makes sense to Biology GT). Also, due to the workload I have, our class has already covered several chapters in the book and I have unfortunately failed the tests on them since I didnt have time to study or figure out how to study. But now I do have time. For a guy who knows next to nothing about Biology and is already around a quarter behind in Biology AP, what should I do to learn the stuff I need to and catch up?? (Also, in class, the teacher doesnt really teach, she does a bunch of labs, and tests us, and occasionally gives us worksheets)</p>
<p>Biology is all memorization, it really isn’t something you need to “understand” really. Get a cliffnotes, read your textbooks, and basically just memorize terms.</p>
<p>um…u LEARN stuff.</p>
<p>^lol really…</p>
<p>orange peel let Cinna tell you a lesson: biology be about yo life, so just make it connect wit the stuff you be seein any day girrrl!</p>
<p>i know but the biology textbook i have is bs. A lot of the stuff in the chapters doesnt help at all after I read it.</p>
<p>Which one do you have?></p>
<p>i’m taking the class too</p>
<p>what sections are you on in the book? Most of it is easy, just make outlines of parts you find hard and study them (i do this for ap world)</p>
<p>a lot of it is memorization so try notecards. </p>
<p>If you are already halfway through the semester, I don’t think you’ll be able to get an A without pulling some strings (if you have a grade that is below 80), try either getting the teacher to let you redo the tests, do test corrections for like 1/2 credit, or ask for assignments you can do to raise your test grade</p>
<p>Use a study guide. Read the book, but use the study guide as your main reference material.</p>
