<p>Does one need to know the exact steps of the Kreb Cycle, Photosynthesis, and that kind of thing?</p>
<p>What about the chemical properties of amino acids? Do we need to know which ones are acidic, hydrophobic, and so on?</p>
<p>I think you just need to be familiar with everything, but you don’t need to know everything about biology. </p>
<p>Just take a practice test from a college board prep book if you really want to know. (The one I took was fairly broad, and sort of similar to this years AP Bio Test, which I found pretty easy).</p>
<p>Thanks! Can anyone who has taken the test tell me?</p>
<p>Well you can choose to take E or M. Are you better with molecular biology or ecology and energetics?
I used the practice tests on sparknotes. The scoring is a little bit flawed, but the tests are extremely similar. The first time I took a practice test on sparknotes I got like a 590. After several more practice tests, I got a 780 on the real thing.
So I would say that you should look at those tests to get a good idea. It is decently general and I wouldnt say you need to know the exact steps, but you do need to know the locations of where certain reactions occur (i.e. what occurs in the stoma etc).</p>
