Answer 3

I don't advocate exam guides. They're usually short on content - meaning even if you study them thoroughly you're probably doomed to at best a 4. I would suggest skipping the exam guide bit altogether, since they usually lure the candidate into a false sense of security. Better to take the textbook, which is effectively all you need to know (and with some to spare).

What I did last year for AP Biology was simply to read 'Biology, Seventh Edition' by Campbell and Reece from cover to cover two weeks before the exam, and read through the chapter summaries for each chapter in the two days before the exam. Despite not having taken an AP (or even Honors) biology course, I sat for the exam in May 2007 and scored a 5.

In short - place your trust in a good textbook (Campbell's like the Bible of AP Biology - trust me), and its chapter summaries.

Good luck to your sister.

Note: The latest edition of Campbell is the Eighth Edition. Get it.
