What I always did (and I admit it has been awhile) is to repeatedly write down key concepts, in particular the equations. At least for me the act of acting scribbling it out over and over on a piece of scrap paper helped memorization - at least in the short term.\n\nThe best way to remember a science concept, though, is to actually understand. Not always easy if the Quantum Field Theory exam is in 11 hours...\n\nOh, one thing to _avoid_ (in my opinon) is to simply go through the book and notes when you're tired. Your mind will drift, you'll be distracted, and the whole thing can be a waste of time.\n\nThat's why I always used the write-it-down method, it keeps the mind focused.

Biggest thing on all of their writing sections is to write. If you're having trouble coming up with something, do an outline or write down what you know you know and then start forming sentences from that. Random facts about the topic can also score you points. And don't forget spelling and grammar on all of them; the graders are sticklers for it. \n\nDo practice tests, including the writing sections. The AP Bio test asks very little on botany because most biologist these days more or less ignore botany. History may ask you random facts -- the year I took it, there were no questions on Lincoln, but one on Taft (most famous during his presidency for getting stuck in a bathtub) and on "All in the Family".\n\nFor L&C or L&L, know your grammar terms and poetry terms. \n\nGood luck and don't stress. You'll do fine.

Hardwork. and remember to pay attention in class. take notes. Go through the textbook the day before a lesson a prepare your self.

Ok, relax. Take a deep breath. It's not going to be so bad. Just take things one step at a time.\n\n1. Determine what you know and what you don't know. Look at your lecture or class notes and in your textbook. \n\n2. Find out what is most likely going to be on the exam. You don't want to waste time learning things that don't count. The only way to know is to ask around or look at your own notes. Most teachers give students a good idea about what is on their exam, but if you missed that class, ask your classmates. Sometimes teachers use past exams, modifying them just slightly. Previous exams can be very helpful.\n\n3. Work out the problems if you have a math or science class. Memorizing formulas is useful, but it's nowhere near as useful as actually doing real homework problems. If you don't have a science or math class, you will most likely be dealing with memorization.  Even if you're studying the night before the exam, if your exam has problems, you need to be able to work them out. \n\n4.If your exam is largely memorization, then the only sure-fire way is to take some note cards and jot down notes, and memorize them. When I used to study for biology classes I would write down things like metabolic processes or photosyntesis and literally memorize them one-by-one. If you can develop a short-hand "heurstic" it would help you a lot. To give you an example: the taxonomic system of classifying organisms can be remembered best as "King Phillip Came Over From Greece SInging" which means Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. Or the order of colors ROY-G-BIV Red-Orange-Yellow-Green-Blue -Indigo-Violet. You can always make up your own memorization short cuts.\n\n5. Always go back to your notes to make sure you're covering what needs to be covered. You don't want to end up spending hours on a chapter that is barely covered while spending little time covering the most important chapter in the book. Keep in mind that in some cases teachers/professors will have questions on the exam which are not covered in the text book. Go back to your notes and ask friends if there are topics that were covered in class but not so much in the book.\n\nRemember, studying for your exam is a methodical process, quite similar to preparing for a major battle. The invasion of Normandy may have been a stunning one-day event, but it took a lot of careful planning to carry out. EVen if you are pressed for time at the last hours before your exam, you need to keep your composure and approach the process attentively and methodically.\n\nGood luck!

I had the worst time with chemistry.  So I studied in two ways:  the first was the problems, you know, how many mols of what is in whatever? and that type of thing.  Write out these questions with the answers and keep in your notebook.  There are lots of workbooks out there and they are invaluable eg Chemistry for Dummies; but my favorite was the Schaum's Outline of Inorganic Chemistry, I think that was the title; go to the Schaum's web page or order it from Amazon for dirt cheap.\nThe other type of chemistry problem is the reaction formulation: H20 <-->2H + 0, or some damn thing like that.  You have to memorize this.  Here is where the 3x5 cards come in.  Now you will have them for review for the final.\n\nCalculus studying is similar.  First you have to know the proofs.  I have a PhD in physics and still have to go back to the limit problems in Schaum's Outline of Calculus, Advanced Calculus, Differential and Integral Calculus.  There is a great book called Word Problems in Calculus; buy it at Border's or Amazon for cheap.  Work the problems and know the proofs.\n\nIn both cases, no matter what the explanation in a book or your notes, you will find a brick wall to your understanding.  Go to your professor and tell him where you have a failed to understand.  Bring paper and pencil so he can write on it to help you.\nAnd, never give up.  Work a problem until you sweat blood.  You will learn from your mistakes as well as your triumphs.\n\nOne last tip:  take notes in your notebook but only on the right hand side of the open notebook.  Use your textbook to fill in the blanks when you go over your notes as soon after class as possible, and do this on the left hand,facing, side; use colored pencils/pens generously.  Go over your notes this way before beginning your homework.  Be diligent even when your friends are calling.

If you are in grad school perhaps you ought to be hitting the library instead of Yahoo message boards. Bio chem is a pain but not something to compromise grad school for.

Well, you should be aiming for at least a 3.5 GPA. Since bio is usually taught to 9th or 10th graders, you should have time to bring up your GPA. However, science classes get even harder after bio, so be sure to work extra hard on your next science class. UofM also looks for ongoing improvement in GPA with each year, but that has to be with a rigorous college prep curriculum. So I hope you plan on taking more science, math and foreign language classes. Too easy a class load won't help your chances.

Rote memorization, with flashcards possibly, is the only way I can think of. Like the other poster said, look for carbonyls, alcohols, alkenes, and amino peaks (a weak, wide peak at about ... 3200 or so)

I guess you'll have to be very serious in class...\n\nBut there are some hints :\n\n- Make precise and organised notes (the best for it is to use a handheld computer like Psion Revo or Jornada 520) \n- Listen and try to understand\n- Participate\n- ASK when you don't understand, you don't care if you sound stupid\n- Talk about the lessons you had with your classmates, and work in groups as often as possible\n- Have a proper diet, with enough carbohydrates and sugars\n- Make sure to sleep long enough every night\n- Go out sometime, to lose your stress\n\nI don't think you'll do anything good if you don't learn at home at all, but following these hints should help reducing the homework.

well study hard and you will get your goal, be mentally strong cos its not an easy task, be very very good in biology and you need to study chemistry nicely as well.rest leave to god.

Study for human Biology today and then take an hour break.\n\nThen study for geography.  Geography is pretty simple, you have to use flash cards and then put yourself in front of a blank map and go at it. Keep quizzing yourself with those blank maps/flash cards.\n\nBiology... It's very important that you understand the chemical processes in biology as well as the technological names. So I would recommend putting the names of flash cards and reviewing the chemical processes once or twice just to hammer it in. This really helps if you make an outline!!!
