<p>I was just looking into this program and was wondering if any veteran competitors have any advice on how to prepare. I have looked through old threads and most people have just said "read the book..."</p>
<p>Would AP prep books be helpful for review?</p>
<p>Also, is it imperative to memorize every single little detail presented in the diagrams/captions of the text?? (e.g. the trace elements, first names, years of events, etc)</p>
<p>Thanks for your help in advance.</p>
<p>hmmm...i have no idea...</p>
<p>BUT, apparently Campbell's textbook is like THE book for Bio.....</p>
<p>WHere's biomaster?</p>
<p>I'm sort of confused, how do you register for USABO?
I've looked at the website for cee but didn't really understand</p>
<p>I think your teacher has to register for you... Tell a bio teacher at your school that you want to participate and see if s/he can work it out for you.</p>
<p>My AP Bio book is Campbell's fifth edition. That should have enough info for the exam, right? I wouldn't need to go out and get the sixth or seventh editions?</p>
<p>wow I just skimmed through the usabo thread someone bumped and my bio confidence level is now shot lol.</p>
<p>I took AP bio last year (now a junior) and thought I knew a lot of info but it looks really detailed.</p>
<p>Does it help at all on college apps if you do it and do well? Otherwise I'm not sure I want to invest the time studying for it.</p>
<p>Campbell is your bible, love him, honor him, and he shall reward thee. Also don't waste your time with first names...but every single step in glycolysis...thats worth knowing. (I was at the USABO nationals last year, hopefully again if i can get my lazy arse to study)</p>
<p>How about years? Like for discoveries and stuff?</p>
<p>Also, are there any major recurring themes through all the exams?</p>
