James Jones asked:


So far a month of school has passed and my teacher has been through about 7 chapters and 1 labratory. His teaching strategy is providing a powerpoint which we study and take a test on. What is the best way to retain knowledge learned this early in the year to avoid cramming before the exam in May? I’m planning to make flashcards for each chapter and reviewing them once a week/month. Is this a good method or do you recommend something else? I have bought the book “5 Steps to a 5″ by McGraw-Hill as my teacher recommended. AP Biology is my most important class this year and I really want to strive in using my full potentional in mastering the subject.

Hey-
I took the class last year. I got a 3 on the exam. I was hoping for a 4 but the circumstances were not very good (new teacher, cramming at last minute, lots of snow days, and we were on A day/B day schedule so classes met every other day and not every day). Dont wait until the last few weeks to study…i made that mistake. I studied 7 hours a night for two weeks until the day of the test. The teacher i had, it was his first year teaching AP bio. In class by the end of the year we only covered 50% of what was going to be on the test. To tell you how bad the year was- in campbell and reese 7th edition we covered chapters 1-17, 50-55. EVERYTHING else we were on our own for. At least two months in advance you need to start studying the sections your teacher will not have enough time to cover that is needed for the test. Four friends of mine got 4s and 5s. This is how they did it: buy the book AP Bio Cliff Notes. Basically everything that you need to know for the test is consensed into that book. Just study everything in that book and you will get a 5. I also saved all the answers to the labs. If you want them then go ahead and message me.
