Im taking College Level Biology and chemistry next year, what sre some good ways to prepare for those classes? what are some good books that can help me prepare for those classes?

The "Made Easy" Series is great for math an sciences.  If you do the assignments, though you should be okay.

help me god, more about these bio classes.

You need to know and learn things that don't interest you. For example, if your main occupation are social studies, don't be afraid to learn a little bit about biology too. I know it's hard at times, but everything you get to know will pay off in the end. And remember that you never stop learning.

Besides taking chemistry, take lots of math classes and other sciences as well. Taking them on the AP level will definitely help. As far as good schools, US News says the best for chemical engineering are: \n1. Massachusetts Inst. of Technology\n2. University of California–Berkeley \n3. Univ. of Minnesota–Twin Cities \n\nCheck out http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/engineering/phd/enps03_brief.php\nhttp://experts.about.com/q/Careers-Chemistry-1498/Good-Chemistry-Schools.htm

most colleges are now starting to offer forensic science and forensic chemistry as majors, so check which universities are the best for that. mostly you'll need lots and lots of biology, chemistry, environmental sciences, etc. it's tough! but also very interesting!

Yes you can all you need to do is go to your teacher references and look it up if they do not have it then go to the library and ask if the have biology cd that covers all the topics.

Right now I attend VCU as a forensic science major. You can't major in Biology to become a forensic scientist. It is a major on it's own. They make you choose a track before your sophomore year. You will either complete the forensic chemistry or biology. I chose the biology track. It depends on what you want to do with it. Biology is usually for health majors like pre-dentistry,pre-therapy etc... It you want to do biomedical engineering you would not be a biology major, but an engineering major. The fourth link I have included is to help you choose a major. VCU is a good school if you like diversity, and want to attend a large college. We also offer free tutoring for almost all subjects. Good luck I hope you are happy with whatever you choose.

There are certain classes that everyone has to take to get into medical school and it is really important to do well in these classes.  Take as much biology, chemistry, and physics as you can.  The more you have in high school, the easier it will be in college.  Most med schools also require that you take calculus.  It doesn't matter what you major in, but you will have to take these courses eventually.

I would take AP calculus. Usually (for biochem majors), calculus is a core course: required but not directly related to your major. Chemistry will, however be directly required for your major. This means that the university you will be attending will be less likely to accept AP chem for credit, and more likely to accept AP calc. So, unless you want to take college level chemistry twice, go for the calculus.

Get this book and practice these tests.  The tests are timed so practice under time.  The more you get right the better the results. the areas you should study are \nbasic arithmetic word problems no more advanced than simple algebra\nsimple science and mechanical principles\nsimple everyday chemistry\nvocabulary

AP chem is just a level ahead of what you have taken.  It's not too difficult if you have strong chemistry background.  Considering the fact that you have already taken Honors Chem, you should not find a  introductory general chem book difficult at all.  When i took the AP chem we used the book titled Chemistry  and Chemical Reactivity by Kotz (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0030237963/).  There is another book used for inductory general chemistry classes at my university is Chemistry by MCMurry and Fay (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0131402080/).  Both books are good and should give you a very good understanding of general chemistry.  Good luck!

When I took Chemistry, I found that flashcards usually helped with remembering names of compounds and acids.  As for the actual problem, it was just practice.  I would try to do as many of the problems that I could possibly do and would then call a friend for the problems I wasn't sure about.  \n\nFor me at least, reading the book didn't help too much, it explained it, but rereading wasn't exactly great, just look at the example problems, those are usually helpful as well.

I got a D in gen. chem., and now I'm a 3rd year med student.  Here's what you do:  you forget about gen chem for now, and start learning organic.  Believe me, it's much easier and enjoyable (no math!)  Then, when you are studying for the MCAT, you'll relearn gen. chem, or learn it for the first time like me.  I used the Kaplan books and that really taught me what I had to know for the MCAT, and nothing else.  Good luck.

apply to a college, major in education with a concentration/minor in biology, apply at a school after graduating, get job, have a nice life!

Bio is a tough major--many students are pre-med & many change their major from bio.  You have to study alot of math, physics & chemistry.  IF YOU CAN GO TO A SMALLER UNIVERSITY.  At the large universities the classes are very large (300+) & very competitive.  No degree will be any good if you don't have a good GPA.\n\nIf you like anatomy, consider kinesiology or physical therapy.  \n\nAlso, there's not alot of "biology" classes w/ a bio major.  Here's one as an example:\nhttp://www.temple.edu/bulletin/Academic_programs/schools_colleges/cst/programs/biology/cst_biology.shtm#major_bs\n\nHere's a link to "what can you do with this major" so you can check them all out.\nhttp://www.temple.edu/careerdev/Student_MajorInfo.htm\n\nGood luck.  Don't major in biology unless you are ready to be very devoted to your studies.

Wayyyyyyy back when, my biology teacher led us through procedures that pretty well guaranteed decent grades.\n\nHe had us keep notebooks with at least five sections. Notes, daily work, drawings, tests, and another which I forget.\n\nNotes were taken in class. Daily work was homework or free study work where we had to answer questions. Many of the questions could be answered right out of the book, but we had to rephrase them. Drawing, for biology, explain themselves. It wasn't art, but developing the ability to see what we were looking at and reinforcing it by making a labeled sketch. Tests, so that we could review right and wrong answers for future tests. Everything saved was corrected so that we had the right answers.\n\nThis notebook, along with the memory aid "SQ3R" carried us through what we couldn't discipline ourselves for or invent on our own.\n\nSQ3R was for reading our text information: Survey (skim it first), Question (what questions does the skimming raise), Read (look for answers to the questions while reading the text), Recite (find some way to talk about the new information. Relate it to something), Review (look over all the materials in notebook and text before quizzes and tests).\n\nOne other tip he gave us for science classes was "learn the vocabulary. You will have mastered half of the subject if you learn the special vocabulary and understand what it means."\n\nTo show how effective what he taught was, here I am repeating what he said 45 years later.

Beware of BIOCHEMISTRY(from my own experience.. all doctors in med school exprerienced a hard time in Biochem, even our scholars and Magna-cum-laude. But of course they got better grades than us). Biochemistery covers almost everything... (PROTEIN CHEMISTRY AND METAB, AMINO ACIDS CHEMISTRY AND METAB, CARBOHYDRATE CHEMISTRY AND METAB, LIPID CHEMISTRY AND METAB, VITAMINS, MINERALS, DNA CHEMISTRY AND METAB, ENERGY METAB, ONCOGENESIS Purine and Pyrimidine synthesis&Metab,,, ETC.) To make it short...Biochem today is MOLECULAR in approach that is why it also cover CELL BIOLOGY and physiology. \nSo my advise is to you is to take cell biology which i know is not complicated and easier.\nCheck out  BIochemistry of Harpers or Lippincott (the easier approach)...for you to find out\ni hope this  one is helpful to you!\nGoodluck!
