<p>I have outlined Unit I which is Cellular and Molecular Biology and is worth almost 1/3 of the exam. I have gone in to a lot of detail (I'm used to AP) so that all the bases are covered. </p>

<p>I have also posted vocab sheets for each section. It would be a good idea to print them out and see what you know already. </p>

<p>I'm not perfect, so you might find something that I left out. If so update the outline and I'll repost it. </p>

<p>Here are the interested members at the moment for Summer self study group:</p>

<p>Let me know if I missed you. Confirm by posting your AIM/SN so we can get a chatroom going sometime. If you are not listed and want to join, feel free to introduce yourself below and drop your SN. </p>

<p>kingdjh ---> im interested</p>

<p>I'm very interested. My AIM sn's rusoboy23.</p>

4

<p>I'm interested. Not that I really use AIM.
Anyway it's livingwitmyself</p>

5

<p>o i want to join my sn is rebokrap thanky u. o yea what else is on the SAT II Biolgy I aiming for a 700</p>

6

<p>Alright we got a decent group of people. You all good for a chatroom this Friday mid-afternoon. 3ish? Post whenever you're available. </p>

<p>So I got a discussion question to start us off. Respond and ask another question:</p>

<p>"State the importance of Phosphate Groups in macromolecules." </p>

<p>Rebok - there are 3 other units on the exam (genetics, evolution and ecology) which consist of maybe 1 or 2 sections. Like the rather large Molecular Unit I, there is a final Unit called Organismal Biology which I break down into 6 shorter sections.</p>

7

<p>3 ET? That's a bit too late for me...how about at 2?</p>

<p>Only thing is I haven't glanced at anything having to do with Biology since the AP Exam (which I got a 3 on), so I'll need a bit of a review before we get going.</p>

8

<p>sure we can have it at 2. I'm actually still waiting for my Bio score (I took it late). We can deff review, and you can start by just familiarizing yourself with the terms on those vocab sheets above....see what you know and what you want to go over.</p>

9

<p>I am unable to download the documents can you kindly mail me at <a href="mailto:elkev4@gmail.com">elkev4@gmail.com</a> . Thanks in advance.</p>

10

<p>^^ Sure no problem. Are you positive they don't work...I just tried and its fine.</p>

11

<p>it,s working. earlier was trying to download via DAP. Thanks , find them very useful shall be ambrosia for last day recap</p>

12

<p>I have outlined one of the most difficult units on the Biology exam: Genetics. But with practice, this Unit becomes really really easy. Basically free points on the exam because you know exactly the questions that they are going to ask you.</p>

<p>If you are still with me on the molecular route, after this unit you are half way through the exam. Congratulations!</p>

<p>20% of Bio M and 15% of Bio E</p>

<p>Unit 2: Classical and Molecular Genetics </p>

<p>Section 1 - Classical Genetics</p>

<p>....next up is Unit 3 which is EASY memorization of Evolution.</p>

13

<p>I'm very interested. Aim sn is retroso1e</p>

14

<p>doing an excellent job LORD. can we also have the multiple choice question bank from a large number of sources with all pooling our resources.</p>

15

<p>thanks :D - another thing that we can do is write our own questions and share them. Helps out the writer and challenges everyone else!! </p>

<p>Unit 3 is coming up this evening!</p>

<p>Here is Unit 3: Evolution....this brings Molecular people up to 65% of the exam. Unit 4 is Organismal Biology and will bring us up to 90% of the exam!!</p>
