I am taking the 2008 living environment regents june?

Question

what do i need to study and how do i get ready

i am very nervous

Answer 1

really the regents is a piece of cake. just go through things you are unsure of, ask last min questions, and study the night before. go through a couple practice regents to get you familiar with the questions.

Answer 2

there are only like 10 main things you need to do well and if you see these in the answer choses, then they are almost definnitly the answer- but of course still read the ?.

1. The envoirment affect the apperence of some genes (ex. put ice on rabbit and fur turns black)

2. [ecological] succsesion

3. U need more energy on the bottom of the food chain

4. cell only use part of the DNA, but have all of it (differtion)

5. Biodiversity is good

6. also for the writen part remember that you need to compar it to a control group - that chould be an answer why exparimit was no good

7. it uses ATP to move from low to high, and non from high to low

8. Decompposer--- if there are a bunch of arrows in a food chain pointing to something and they ask u wat , it's usally decompser

9. selective breeding is also used a lot - thats tking good (big) and good (tasty)-- But a ? might be whats the negative which [10.] usally you could just say we dont no long trem afects on humans-- but for this one (#9) u could say - that it's possible to get both bad

11. NATURAL SELECTION

12. how to use different sytems together like cirriclitory and digestive-- it carries the nurrtruents from the digestion to the body

13. gel electrophoresis - just remember it's name and wat it is, for part D

also study old regents- with the type of answers that they are looking for.

(sorry for the bad spelling i just copied this off an IM that i just sent to someone)

Answer 3

i'm taking the test tomorrow too. i've heard a lot of it is about ecology, know that. also i would probably know all about cells and their division. all food chains and those things too. that's all i can think of at the top of my head as of now.

i hope you do great! my bio teacher this year sucked so i am hoping for the best.

Answer 4

yea just review things youre not confident about....

relax though.. dont get yourself too nervous

get a good night sleep

you should do fine on the regents

bring in a few pens and pencils

[pens have to be black/dark blue]

my teacher said

bring a little snack and some water, too, to eat and drink

during the exam

youll do great!!! good luck!

Answer 5

i am taking it too i am verry nervous even though i paid attention all year and on my mock exam i passed i feel so unprepared i wish the answers would just fall on my lap a gift from god

Answer 6

The only thing you can do now is to take a past regents and grade it. Go to nysedregents.org. And don't worry there is a curve (although not a very big one)

Answer 7

such an easy regent

joke, really.

wait until your chemistry & physics regents

then you should be nervous

Answer 8

www.regentsprep.org

study mostly about ecology & cells blabla RNA DNA blabla mostly memorization.

GOODLUCK
