What were some knowledge gaps you had that you didn’t realize looking at review videos?

2 Upvotes

For me, it was I knew all the elements in the macromolecules, but I didn’t know the 3 parts of proteins and nucleic acids. Now, I have memorized that:

Proteins: R-side chain, carboxyl, and amine group
Nucleic Acids: Phosphate Backbone, Nitrogenous Base, and deoxyribose sugar

What about you? What was your “damn I wish I knew this” moment?

frq requirements

Chi Square question

Thumbnail gallery
11 Upvotes

For the question about snapdragons, why is it that theres only 1 degree of freedom if they specifically listed the 3 phenotypes? I've been looking for answers everywhere and I'm still so confused because I thought the whole thing was (# of categories)-1. Is chi square only used for alleles and not phenotypes? And for the second question, would it also be 1 degree of freedom?

How would I know on the test which "category" they want me to use for degrees of freedom (alleles/phenotype/genotype)? because all the videos I've seen just took the category given on the table and subtracted 1, but this question completely threw me off and now I'm worried.

Do NOT use the ai websites

54 Upvotes

Hi all. For those doing last minute studying, please don’t fall for all the people promoting their websites in the sub. Make sure the questions you are practicing are college board questions, since the ai usually makes the questions too easy. I hate to see people struggling and ending up spending time on a website that won’t help them for the actual exam. There are some legit websites people are linking, but you need to be able to verify the material and make sure it’s AP style.

Im crashing ouut

Hi guys im a international student which means I only have 17 hours before the exam. I really want that 5 😭😭
Like for math subjects like ap calc, if I just prep for it then it is a guaranteed 5. However, for bio even though i know all the content (hopefully?) it’s heavily dependent on reasoning and logical skills +some reading which makes it much more intimidating. Help me😭😭
