<p>It seems we are really behind in covering all the topics on the AP Bio test in my class compared to what is in the Cliffs AP Bio book. We are covering Biological Diversity right now. Am I screwed?</p>
<p>Not necessarily if your class was going by the book ( Reese Campbell) and completing the test prep questions at the end of the chapter but try to cram as much as you can on ecology and heredity I recommend buying Barrons AP Biology prep book.</p>
<p>Thanks. Yeah we have been using Reese Campbell. Do you think biological diversity is covered extensively? We are barely covering it right now and honestly, I can’t retain any of the info lol.</p>
<p>But we have already covered ecology and heredity. Are topics like animal reproduction and plant/animal form important?</p>
<p>Also, we haven’t done any lab experiments or anything related if that matters.</p>
<p>You should really look over Plant and animal form and function, that is about 12 percent of the exam or something like that.</p>
<p>If you have a Cliffs book just study that and you should be fine. That’s what I’m doing (self studying).</p>
