I have my DAT exam next monday. But I feel like I am forgetting everything in biology... But I read AP cliffs Three times already... I certainly cannot go through it before the exam. Is this feeling normal?

keep doing practice problems to reinforce certain topics...maybe you are just freaking out that's all im sure you know your stuff!

This is good advice. Use practice questions as a reinforcement tool and a method of highlighting your weaknesses! You'll do great!

If you can, try to find a way to relate the concepts to each other and to your life. For instance, I have a pretty funny memory about a soda can exploding in the heat and I have NEVER forgotten that solubility decreases as temperature increases and pressure decreases.

wait a minute...i though solubility INCREASES as the temperature increases..i guess it depends if you are talking about solids or gases...gases are less soluble at higher temperatures but more soluble at higher pressures but solids are more soluble at higher temperatures...

what were you referring to?

You are correct. I was talking about soda (gases) :laugh:
 
You could definitely get through all of Cliff's AP bio in a week. Personally, I got through all of Barron's AP bio within a few days before my exam--it didn't even take a whole week! Then, the two days before my test, I went BACK over those chapters that kept giving me trouble. It's certainly doable.
 
Bio is such a diverse subject... I think it's fair to say you won't ever feel "completely" ready for it. Know the fundamental concepts, being able to make strong educated guesses even if you aren't entirely sure of the answer is very important.
