The AP test will require review. The review books are great study tools as they include two sample tests, review chapters on many topics, review questions and the end of each chapter, and test-taking tips. The AP biology test is May 9^th (Monday).

Week 11: Morning of test – flashcards, models, laptops will be on tables; I

will be in by 6:00.

For the review sessions, read the chapters ahead of time and bring questions to the review session. I will cover the highlights and go over some of the sample questions at the end of the chapters. We will not cover chapter 11 as we will cover that material in the last weeks of the class. While it will probably be too tempting, try to avoid looking at Practice Test #1 (we will use this to determine which subjects need to be reviewed closer to the test date).
