AP Bio last minute cramming

IDK, I’ve been studying for a few weeks, but I’m also trying to get some last minute things down before the exam tomorrow. Based on the official practice test, I feel like the stuff that I’m going to make sure and go over is the lab reviews (if your review book has lab reviews at the end- I have cliffs and it does, I think Barron’s does too). I’m also going to make sure and review the ecology stuff (graphs and population trends, etc.), some plant stuff (I don’t know why, but I feel like the plant stuff was a major component- especially if you did that practice FRQ section? UGH. Why can’t they just ask about organelles and cell structure. That is SO MUCH EASIER.), practice grid-in stuff (like chi-square, hardy weinberg, water potential, stuff like that), and then review major concepts like evolution, cell resp. and photosynthesis.

This whole new exam format is killing me. Honestly, I feel like all the review books are set up for pure memorization, but memorizing the steps of a G-protein coupled receptor still won’t get you anywhere on the new exam. It’s all about analysis and observation, which is seriously irritating.

But good luck anyways!
