Uneasy about Bio!

<p>It's already 1:22 on Saturday and I haven't started yet. Well, I'm planning to read the CliffsAP and the Pearson Book. Let's all prey for the best.</p>

<p>It's Saturday now ...which means it's BIO CRAMMING DAY!</p>

<p>I'm not sure how you would prey for the best, but I suppose that's possible.</p>

<p>I'm basically reading the cliffsnotes and doing practice tests to review, along with a couple of packets my teacher gave me to expand on some of the stuff.</p>

<p>Apparently, essays on tissues and cell communications are expected, since it's been three years since they added that to the exam, and it generally takes three years for a FRQ to show up on things they add.</p>

<p>ayrrie--can you elaborate? when did they add these, and what types of q's do you think they might ask about them?</p>

<p>I can't really elaborate much further than I already have, since I have no idea how the hell they could as a question beyond "Explain how cell communications work" or "describe the different types of tissues that make up the animal body."</p>

<p>That's not nearly eclectic enough for them, though. Besides, I could be entirely wrong.</p>

<p>The topics got added as potentials for the exam about three years ago. I can't give you a specific year, but I'd assume somewhere around 2002/2003.</p>

<p>I mean, did they publically announce this or something?</p>

<p>i really dont think you guys should speculate on the FR. you might concentrate too much on one topic and leave out the rest. just try to study everything. wow two more days.... good luck to everyone and Happy Cramming =]</p>

<p>My class has covered about 50% of the material on the exam.. and not thoroughly at all... I'm getting killed by cliffs.. bye bye 5!</p>

<p>ahh agreed. teacher did not teach at all. didn't even lecture. she just gave us a sheet of paper with all the assignments and expected us to understand everything. the tests were a joke too. 10% of it asked for greek and latin roots of our vocab.</p>

<p>I finished taking my IB Bio exams on Friday...so hopefully AP shouldn't be too much of a problem since I went over every topic needed for IB. Still, I am taking AP Bio on the 19th as an alternate. :D </p>

<p>Good luck on the exam!</p>

<p>yup 4 PM, and I haven't started..</p>

<p>What else is there to do besides Cliffs if I have no other AP books? Any good bio quiz websites?</p>

<p>You could take a SparkNotes MC quiz (50 questions).</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>LOL!</p>

<p>Then Tissue And Cell Communications I Shall Study!</p>

<p>lol you guys need to start on Cliffs</p>

<p>I know you guys might think, k only 15 chapters, with avg 15 pages each, but its still extensive review in some areas </p>

<p>PHOTOSYNTHESIS, CELL RESPIRATION, CELL DIVISION, AND DNA REPLICATION/SYNTHESIS KILLS</p>

<p>other than that . . :)</p>

<p>Does anyone know if we are allowed to use calculators? graphing or scientific?
i need one to do Hardy-Weinberg.
Help!</p>

<p>I heard that we couldn't. That's the reason my teacher made us do Hardy-Weinburgs by hand.</p>

<p>nope; people will take advantage of it then to add notes.</p>

<p>o course u cant use calc on the bio test
the hardy weinberg theorem u dont even need it u just need to know how to square root, or square something. thats it</p>

<p>idk why you guys are so worried about bio...
I've taken the 1994, 1999, and 2002 MC and gotten 106, 98, and 99 questions right.
If I were you, I would read plant structure and hormones, quickly brush up taxonamy(especially annelids, arthropods, chordates, echinoderms, and cniderians) and study DNA.</p>

<p>crosscurrent UR FREAKING SICK!!!
ive only gotten around the 50s on all those tests
i feel like crap now >.<</p>
