Some tips for success:The most common problem new students have is that their study skills are not adequate for high school level classes. Studying Pre-AP Biology involves more than “cramming the night before a test.” The following are suggestions to succeed in Pre-AP Biology: 1. Prepare for class before coming by reading over your notes and reading supplemental material on the internet to broaden your intellect. 2. Make a vocabulary list of unknown words 3. Do all work sheets, study questions, etc. 4. Keep all handouts, lecture notes, and study questions organized. 5. Always read assigned material and make sure you outline all the main ideas and be able to answer questions about the reading. 6. Pay attention and don’t daydream in class. Everything I say is important and will be seen on tests. 7. Study frequently and in small doses. Cramming does not foster long term understanding that will stick with you!!! 8. Set up a study group and study with friends. 9. Understand figures and diagrams from lecture and your text. 10.If you are having trouble with material GET HELP!!!! Do not wait until TEST DAY!!!! |
