<p>Do you have an actual textbook? Have you tried youtube? Asking a teacher after school?</p>
<p>folks, does anybody have any way of memorizing the taxonomy stuff in the biological diversity chapter in cliffs? there’s just so much stuff to memorize! any mnemonics or ways you used to remember, please post them. thanks!</p>
<p>@russianruler Bozemanbiology on Youtube has some good videos about plants on his channel and I’m sure Khan must as well. Scour the internet for some good figures/diagrams because that’s what really brings those processes together in the mind.</p>
<p>And yeah the bio diversity chapter is rough.</p>
<p>Done with the book! Just reviewing till the AP.</p>
<p>Only on Chapter 40! Learning till the AP…</p>
<p>About how many MC’s do we need to get a 4 or 5?</p>
<p>It’s 100 multiple choice, right? </p>
<p>Once you hit ~70, you should be fine… (assuming you’re doing equally as well on the essays)</p>
<p>i finally feel confident. i did independent study (beats sitting in a classroom) and took the 08 released exam [you can find this here: <a href=“https://myportal.bsd405.org/personal/raoj/apbiorao/AP%20Bio%20Released%20Exams/Forms/AllItems.aspx[/url]”>https://myportal.bsd405.org/personal/raoj/apbiorao/AP%20Bio%20Released%20Exams/Forms/AllItems.aspx</a></p>
<p>78/100 on MC, 25/40 on FR. That comes out to a five. 
hopefully I can do the same on the real test.</p>
<p>****youtube is a great place to find labs</p>
<p>Nice job! :)</p>
<p>Thank you hum0rMe17 !! :D</p>
<p>@LaCielle
no problem. glad i could help</p>
<p>@LesleyCordero
thanks</p>
<p>@hum0r</p>
<p>Wow thats awesome</p>
<p>Would you mind telling us how you studied</p>
<p>i got the ap bio class from byu independent study. they sent me lecture videos which i got through by January. then i got the ap bio study guide from campbell and i went through it twice and did the practice tests in it. then i got the princeton review ap bio and went through that. for the labs, both the review books had a section on them and my byu class had online labs. for the labs i had trouble with i found them on youtube and that really helped.</p>
<p>if you need help in any section email me</p>
<p>Hey guys, can you give me some advice? I took AP Bio online over the summer and read the Campbell textbook over 3 months. I haven’t looked at the material since. Now I’m taking the AP Test and I also bought the Cliffs prep book. I’m worried I won’t recall anything, especially for the FRQ’s. What would be a good study plan to prepare efficiently, considering I have 2 weeks until the test?</p>
<p>@blubbermonkey
since you have already reviewed the material once, i suggest that you take a practice test MC and FR and see how much you can remember; mark the questions you have no idea about, but still guess on them. grade the test and use the college board’s scoring guide to see where you stand(1-5). Then use the cliffs prep book to review material you had trouble with and then take another test(repeat until test day)</p>
<p>i plan on just going through the released FRQs till the Saturday before the test and then reviewing the Princeton review book once more. Good Luck</p>
<p>Does the format of our answers on the FR have to be in essay form i.e. complete sentences or are lists and bullets ok?</p>
<p>reach4thesky, I think I read that bullets and lists are not okay. Diagrams and pictures are fine though.</p>
<p>Lol so less than two weeks til exam.
I’ve read all of barron’s like twice, cliffs twice, and just recently got the crash course book which is good, but I’m not sure how true it is to the exam. Can someone tell me if the crash course book is actually good?
Oh and i heard cliffs is the best ap bio book but i kinda like barron’s more.
any advice 
btw, how the heck do you memorize all the plants and taxonomy?! I’m dying T_T</p>
<p>All essays have to be in essay format yes, bullet points will get you no points. The only time your essay should not be in essay format is if you have to show work as to how you got to a solution, for example drawing a punnet square is fine. Diagrams and pictures are fine, but I recommend you don’t use them. The points you will get from them are very little, and it is often too time consuming to draw them. It’s better to stick with essay format all the way.</p>
<p>Which of the following behaviors involves the least learning?</p>
<p>A. a mouse finding food in the kitchen of the house
B. a mockingbird singing the song of a different species
C. a lion capturing its prey
D. a chimp finding its way through a forest
E. a newborn human grasping something placed in its hand</p>
<p>I put C, because I thought that a lion capturing its prey would be natural to the lion - something it was born knowing how to do. However, the answer is E. Could someone explain please?</p>
