<p>We use a different book than all y’all, but I think it’s in the same order. We’re just finishing up the different types of plants, moving on to fungi soon.</p>
<p>Hey guys, do you think just studying from the Cliffs AP book is all you need to get a 5 on the AP exam? I heard that many people used this book and they read it a couple days before the exam and they got a 5. Do any of you have any tips on how to read the book? Do we basically have to memorize everything? Many thanks.</p>
<p>^ I would like to know also</p>
<p>I heard from some people that it’s doable with only the Cliffs AP book. To be safe, I would look up topics that are vague online or in a textbook which is what I do. I’ve just been reading and memorizing from Cliffs until I got to biological diversity… So many complicated names and terms that I have never heard of. If you’re wondering, I am using a pdf file of Campbell Biology: Concepts and Connections 7th edition.</p>
<p>Ahhh AP signups have started, but I have barely started studying the Cliffs book. I need to manage my time better, otherwise I won’t have any time at all…</p>
<p>I’m finding it hard to just memorize all the terms! Are you all memorizing things like the chemical structure of glucose vs fructose, or the photosynthesis and cell respiration diagrams?</p>
<p>AP signups have started at my school too</p>
<p>Same at my school</p>
<p>Does anyone want to help us write a study guide for <a href=“http://www.acceleratedstudynotes.com?[/url]”>www.acceleratedstudynotes.com?</a></p>
<p>You can just send the notes you have. You will be eternally thanked and credited ;)</p>
<p>Haha I would contribute if I ever made any notes!</p>
<p>Lol, now may be the time to do so 
hahaha</p>
<p>If you’re self-studying, what is the shortest amount of time needed to get a 5?</p>
<p>^I would like to know this too.</p>
<p>Hopefully it’s two months. Lols.</p>
<p>I took this class last year (Campbell and Reece 5th edition was the book my class used). I ended up getting a 5 on the AP Exam. If anyone ever needs any help just shoot me a message-I have some study guides that might help.</p>
<p>For the AP Exam, make sure you know all the labs. Too many people overlook the labs but check the College Board website, it says to know them.</p>
<p>I took the AP exam last year without taking the class and just studied Campbell & Reece/ Cliffnotes and got a 4. Not my best score, but I want to take it again this year and get a 5 
Pretty much, Cliffnotes is amazing.</p>
<p>@hermione315: What cliff notes did you buy? I have found multiple copies when I searched for them. I hope to take AP Bio next year and I heard my teacher is not satisfactory. So I plan on reading the cliff notes in addition to taking the class.</p>
<p>Oh no some of the BozemanBiology videos got deleted! Stupid copyrights :(</p>
<p>I’ve heard that some people can pull of a 5 in a few weeks… but they probably have unusually good memories.</p>
<p>I just started self studying the Campbell Biology 7th edition at home!!! Hooray!Wish me luck!</p>
<p>I talked to my AP Biology teacher for next year and he said we will be doing 24 labs! Great…</p>
<p>What unit are you guys on? We just started the animal kingdom. *** D:</p>
<p>Good luck ing315! x)</p>
<p>What are some good practice tests?</p>
