<p>So the test is in two days, and I don't really know how to study. </p>
<p>I've read my entire Cliffnotes 4th Edition review book, and I've taken all the official CB practice tests that have been released (to my knowledge). I can most likely get a four, but I really really want a 5. </p>
<p>Is there any other way to study? It seems kind of useless studying like this because the test is all analytic lab and graph questions anyway. How can you study for that kind of test format?
I also majorly suck at FRQs and grid-ins for some reason, so is there any way to practice those? Other than water potential, chi-square, and Hardy-Weinberg, my teacher never really went over the formulas, so I don't know how to use Gibbs free energy or primary productivity or stuff like that :c</p>
<p>So yeah, any other study methods that will help for the new test format? Thanks!</p>
<p>Umm, I used Barron’s, and I thought it was really helpful, because quite frankly, I slacked off during the year and I basically learned an entire year of AP Bio in about a week or two. I did end up getting a 5 though.</p>
<p>Yeah, you can’t really study for the multiple choice format except having some basic knowledge. But, I think FRQs are very important. Even though I didn’t know any bio until right before the AP exam, I was always good at FRQs ad grid-ins. You need to write as much as you can and basically everything you know about the topic. Even if you are not sure if it right, write it down because they don’t take points off for wrong answers. According to the stats, everyone did bad at FRQs and Grid-ins, and since I am good at those, I think thats why I got the 5 (because I for sure messed up MC major time). </p>
<p>@four3tris , do you remember what kind of grid ins were on last year’s test? Are they basically the same type of questions like from the practice test (if you remember)</p>
<p>I think so, I didn’t think the grid-ins were too bad. But, I actually didn’t get a chance to do all of them (I did only 4). That was stupid of me, because I spent so much time on the 63 MC instead of the grid-ins. If you are a math person, then do the grid-ins first. </p>
<p>Not doing the grid-ins didn’t hurt me, because like 40% of people got 0/6. But, since people do so bad on them, if you do them and get them right, it might be an advantage. Also, work a lot for the FRQs. Good Luck!</p>
<p>@four3tris Oh man, I suck majorly at FRQs, sigh. I seem to have trouble recalling knowledge and writing within the time limit. The FRQs will definitely mess me up on the exam :’(</p>
