New monthly spread pages in my new bujo!

[tbhstudying]

here it is! a nice lil ap bio masterpost + a few tips to help you out :)

official college board page for ap bio official college board home page for ap bio old free response questions + scoring guides course description, course overview, course details official ap bio faq ap biology quantitative skills pdf

classes that will help you: biology, chemistry, algebra (you don’t need to take these courses before taking the class though) 

some tips:

start studying / practicing early! there’s a loooooot of material + you do not want to cram all of this stuff before the exam

i wouldn’t really recommend this class as a self-study class.

practice the released free-response questions as well as practice tests to get familiar with the format and style of questions.

ap bio gives you a lot of unnecessary info in the question (kinda like those whap questions if you know what i mean?). identify the concept that the question covers and what the question is actually asking you to do. most of the time, the first couple sentences are a bit useless, so if you still need more info to answer the question, skim through the paragraphs quickly for the necessary info.

read your diagrams and graphs carefully

make sure you understand the concepts behind your labs

you can bring a four-function + square root calculator with you to the exam. don’t bring your fancy graphing or scientific calculator. you won’t be able to use it.

you will be given some formulas, but it’s still a good idea to memorize them so that you can make the most of your time.

i’d recommend getting an ap book to study 

diagrams + videos + analogies are very helpful for understanding concepts that you’re not really getting

i have more tips so feel free to request a more detailed post with my own personal tips for ap biology if you want it
