<p>Nice score @ baylahh. But omg … random questions >.< … you guys are scaring me into reading through all my books an extra few times. You do not know much much I despise random questions on exams. I must ace Bio. Must.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You’ve taken the MCAT?</p>
<p>Random questions = prevalent through any standardized testing (especially anything from the college board). You’ve just got to accept it and don’t stress over it, since there’s nothing you can do. If it really scares you, take a few practice tests to get used to the fact that you will not know everything on it, no matter how much you study. But in all seriousness, your prep seems very rigorous. It’s an hour long test. Just remember to ask yourself if it’s truly worth the stress and immense effort you’re putting forth, even for a 800</p>
<p>You guys do know that @IceQube is joking right… O_O</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You do know that you’re wrong right O_O …</p>
<p>Anyway I’ve started reading through the AP Bio PR book and ditched the outline. The outline isn’t interactive; there are no little quizzes to keep you thinking. I’ll probably go back to reading and filling out the AP Bio outline later.</p>
<p>“MCAT Audio Osmosis - a set of CDs covering biology topics. I will be listening to these at night before sleeping as to maximize information retention. Hopefully my brain will be hypotonic to the environment.”</p>
<p>LOL ***</p>
<p>I kind of believed you up to that point.</p>
<p>MCAT Audio Osmosis is real; there exists such a set of CDs that cover science topics including biology. If you are questioning the existence of such a product, then you must be pretty thick to have not used Google to verify the existence of the CDs.</p>
<p>If you’ve taken AP bio you’ll be fine. Like others have said, you’re overdoing it. I can tell that you’ve become rather…stubborn about sticking to your schedule (not a bad thing!) but be aware that you may burn out. Studying hardcore for bio for over three months can really numb the mind, trust me.</p>
<p>But if you insist, I wish you the best of luck!</p>
<p>Studying for a subject test for 3 months AFTER the respective AP class…</p>
<p><em>chuckles</em></p>
<p>Doesn’t have the slightest clue of what classes and what APs I’ve actually taken. </p>
<p><em>pities the fool</em></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I agree. Fewer assumptions and more thinking, please. Reading my posts show that I’ve never taken AP Bio.</p>
<p>myraven11, Elite Edicational Institute. It’s mostly centered in California though.</p>
<p>I’ve crunched through much of the Princeton Review AP Bio book now. I just have two more chapters - Evolution and Ecology - to cover. The most annoying part is the body systems chapter; I hate the bifurcated curriculum that the College Board has. For the SAT II Bio test, I have to know the body systems. For the new AP Bio test, however, body systems have been largely excised from the curriculum. At least the ecology chapter will be easy. The evolution chapter … we’ll see about that. Anyway, I’m going to need to make notecards or something to memorize the little details such as the various kingdoms, phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species, the various human body systems, etc. eventually. Full steam ahead :).</p>
<p>I didn’t question the existence. I questioned who the heck would be dumb/crazy enough to play those tape before sleeping. LOL SAT2’s aren’t even important. In terms of what colleges look for, they’re probably weighted at a measly 6%</p>
<p>LOL what is your problem… You don’t need to make “notecards” for anything… Phylas are kind of common sense… plus, they are rarely tested on the SAT2. Maybe you should read some past SAT2 Bio threads to get a sense of what type of questions were asked instead of reading 5 billion books… You’ll forget most of it anyways. O_o</p>
<p>Also don’t you have other SAT2’s to prep for…? For history, what are you going to do? Reenact battles? LOL hope you get shot</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Nothing. I got an 800 in USH.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I, you see, am of extraordinary ability. Please speak for yourself. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Please lower your blood pressure, stop the exercise of your lacrimal glands, and cease the huffing and puffing at your computer screen. Wishing harm upon someone who has not slighted you in the slightest is concerning, to say the least. Specifically, the use of “LOL” (laugh out loud) in the same sentence as “shot” is inappropriate; getting shot is hardly a humorous event for any one of a sound mind. </p>
<p>If you do not like what I am doing, that is all right. If you have advice to impart, please do so. If you only have invective to impart, </p>
<p>Holy… 1,759 posts in 14 days??? LOL
I can see you frequent CC frequently. ← See what I did there? (“slighted you in the slightest” ) </p>
<p>LOL *** are you for real?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’ve been here for over a year. I didn’t join 2 weeks ago 
. Your point being …?</p>
<p>Anyway, I fail to see why you should be so emotionally invested in what I do. Your approach is also ineffective. If you genuinely wished to alter my views, you wouldn’t be indulging in invectives such as </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>And you wouldn’t be contradicting yourself every other sentence</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>And you wouldn’t be using hyperbole:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There is psychological conflict. On one level, you wish to disparage me. On another level, you seem to want to help me by insisting that my prep is beyond what is necessary. On a third level, you admire my prose and wish to flatter me. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>And on a fourth level, you wish to see my existence cease. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>May I suggest that you are like an onion - deep, layered, and fascinating :)?</p>
<p>All right, I finished reading and taking notes on the Princeton Review AP Bio book (2006 - 2007 edition). </p>
<p>However, I also have the 2010 and 2012 editions of the PR AP Bio book. Both features significantly expanded coverage of the human body systems. Both have quizzes for each individual human body system, which translates to dozens more practice questions. I guess this means I’ll have to read through one of the newer editions of the PR book that I have and take the quizzes. </p>
<p>Quizzes are fun. Because even if I make a mistake, or do poorly, I tell myself that if I’m going to make mistakes, I’d rather make them now than on October 6th … I’d much rather miss the target on the shooting range than in an actual shootout. Wish me luck guys.</p>
