I self studied Bio for less than a week with a Barrons from 1998 (the previous test format) and got a score in the highest range. Nothing is impossible! Had 10 minutes at the end of the test to check my answers and to boggle at the word “rodent” as I didn’t have an idea what kind of creature is that (i am an intern.)

I don’t mean that you don’t need to study - I would have if I had the time to. Take a test as soon as possible to see whether you have a problem with the time limit. Then just read through a good book (well, if you have a newer one) and see what you don’t know (you may be surprised to see that you have studied at school much of what is written there). It works for me to underline in pencil the facts I don’t know as this makes revising much more easy - I spare the time to read whole sections with highlighting single unfamiliar concepts in them. And if time presses you during the test just practice, practice, practice!
