Two questions....math formula sheet + plants

1) Have any of you been using a good formula sheet for the QR section? Can someone let me know where they have gotten theirs from?

2) Also, how much emphasis is placed on plants on the exam? (like differences btwn structures of root/stem, functions of casparian strip/pith/cortex, etc).

Hope the studying is going well =)

I dont know about the plants, but for the math section I've been using the destroyer. I did the problems and made notecards for the equations I didnt already know. That's my "formula sheet"

I was actually wondering this myself. I would know photosynthesis and plant hormones pretty well, but I'm not sure about the other things, but after its not a botany test. Anyone have ideas?

About the plants...

Just realize that much of the material regarding plants can be hidden under other areas of the DAT syllabus.

Photosynthesis is a must...that will always be under cell biology. Wouldn't hurt to know about C4 and CAM photosynthesis.

Also, plant classification is going to be hidden under systematics. I would know the evolutionary trends...monocots/dicots...all that crap.

If you want to narrow down your studying for plants get the following:
Cliff's AP Biology gives you an excellent review of plants w/ just about everything you need to know w/o fillers. It's about 100x's better than the blue book.

oo okay...thanks... i actually have schaums bio so i read those sections but they seem a bit detailed but i guess the more i know the better...

i think to be safe just know as much as you can, you don't want to get to the test and freak out. Good luck!

sin (x) = cos (x + 90) [for degrees only]
cos (x) = cos (x - 90) [for degrees only]

sin (x) = 1/cot (x)
cos (x) = 1/sec (x)
tan (x) = 1/csc (x)

sin^2 (x) + cos^2 (x) = 1

Sin (x) Csc (x) Cos (x) Sec (x) Tan (x) Cot (x)
Quadrant 1
(0-90 degrees) + + + + + +

Quadrant 2
(90-180 degrees) + + - - - -

Quadrant 3
(180-270 degrees - - - - + +

Quadrant 4
(270-360 degrees) - - + + - -

degrees
sin (0) = 0
sin (30) = 0.5
sin (90) = 1

cos (0) = 1
cos (60) = 0.5
cos (90) = 0

tan (45) = 1
tan (135) = -1

sin (2x) = 2*sin(x)cos(x)
cos (2x) = cos^2 (x) - sin^2 (x) = 2*cos^2 (x) - 1 = 1 - s*sin^2 (x)

oh good stuff ring...thanks
