How did you study with Cliff AP?

- Read and go on?
- Read and take notes?
- Just skim through it to get the main idea?

I used this along with Barron's AP and basically just tried to memorize everything I could. I highlighted, took key notes in the margins, and looked up any terms I didn't know and also wrote their meanings in the margins. I went through both books twice, along with the KBB biology once (much more borning, ugh!). I also did all of the questions at the end of each chapter. These books are an awesome preparation for the test!

Take notes, but only on things that you are weak on. I tried outlining the whole thing when I was studying but found it was really inefficient because it is already condensed enough. I drew my own diagrams on things such as the kidney and heart and organized them in a binder to help me memorize them. The questions at the end of each chapter are good to see if you understand the material. Once you go through it once, I would take practice tests to point out your weaknesses and use cliffs as a reference to clear things up. I think this is more efficient than just reading the entire book multiple times.

Thanks! I was reading through it, and I felt that it was kind of pointless to write notes whenever it was already condensed for you. I will take both of yall's advice. Thanks again!

I memorized it word for word(except photoperiodism and a few pages on the plants). Seriously, there are pages on there on where I can just start spitting out facts without even looking at them.

we'll see how I'll do in bio on tuesday HAHAHA

I used to get the general ideas on weak topics (plant, evolution, ecology). The day before the test, I skimmed through for a fast review.
