What has been the most effective way to study for bio for you guys? It has been 3 years since my bio classes and I don't remember very much. I have the Cliffs Bio book, Kaplan book, and Destroyer but I'm having difficulty committing things to memory. Just wondering how other people are approaching this section.

I only used DAT Bootcamp and Cliffs Bio book. But I also have years of experience as a research scientist and a master's in biology. So the more you study the better, probably.

Feralis Notes in Anki flashcard form....use this every day supplementary to regular study and it will force you to memorize! Good for little facts, as for more conceptual stuff i.e molecular biology and respiration etc, use youtube videos to supplememt reading.

Coursesaver.com (Chads videos) has free BIO stuff. Ive never looked at them but I could imagine it would help.

Redraw diagrams instead of writing down cold hard facts. Just my 2 lincolns.

First time I used just cliffs and bootcamp and I had to retake because I did poorly. When I retook I used mostly destroyer to study for the biology. I made notecards based off of the answer choices and the answer key. Using this method my bio score went from 17 to a 28. Destroyer is hands down the best for the sciences in general.

My approach is to slowly lose my sanity as I attempt to memorize 80 pages of material in 2 days.
