<p>Hi, I decided to take AP Bio this year, but I found that I am struggling with the written response section.
To those of you who have taken this test before, how did you guys prepare for the wrritten response section? Is there a certain way to gain points as much as possible?</p>
<p>
I didn’t 
I did one practice FRQ in class and that’s it. If you know biology well, then the FRQs should simply be a matter of answering the questions.</p>
<p>But don’t you need to write down certain answers in order to earn points?? I am wondering how I can grasp that insight of choosing the answers that will let me earn points as much as possible.</p>
<p>The FRQs I had on the exam when I took it weren’t difficult at all. Just add as much facts as possible about the subject, but still keep it pertaining to what the question is asking. The scores probably want to see that you actually learned stuff during the class, so add facts!</p>
<p>Okay, it seems that I need to study the test materials thoroughly in order to prepare for the FRQs. Thanks for your help everyone!</p>
<p>Also, remember that one essay in the written section is going to be from one of the 12 labs that everyone taking ap bio does. So remember to study that.
Otherwise, just practice from AP Central and you should be fine if you know the material.</p>
<p>Okay, I will make sure that I study the labs too. I don’t particularly like doing labs so I assume studying that would be stressful. 
</p>
<p>Thanks for you advice. :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Don’t stress too much about the labs. If you just glance over the questions and your answers you should be set. The essay was almost the exact same question as in the lab book. Good luck on your ap exam!</p>
<p>Thanks for your advice again. Do you mind if I ask you which books you used for studying the labs?</p>
<p>If you’re looking to study the labs, try bozeman biology on youtube, which was immensely helpful for me! </p>
<p>Just pack your essays with terms and applications. Practice vocab!</p>
<p>
I just looked through the green AP Bio lab book with all the labs in it. If you want a more condensed review, use the Princeton Review book to review labs as well as the whole course.</p>
<p>Thank you so much, halemcck and horusofoz!</p>
