If you have two months or more:

- Review those concepts using the techniques you like best (flashcards, study guides, quizzes)
- Take another practice test to check your progress, and then review the answers and explanations
- Continue to study your greatest areas of opportunity
- Take one final practice test before the exam
If you have less than two months:
- Take a practice test to determine which concepts you need to study
- Review those concepts using the techniques you like best (flashcards, study guides, quizzes)
- Take another practice test before the test to check your progress, taking time to review the answers and explanations
If you have less than one month:
- Use your performance on the tests you’ve taken throughout the year to determine which concepts you need to review

How do I succeed on AP Biology?
Multiple-choice questions:
- There’s no order of difficulty; that is, questions don’t start out easy and gradually become tougher. So, you should answer the questions in the order that makes the most sense for you.
- Don’t spend too much time on any one question.
- Don’t leave any question blank; there is no wrong answer penalty.
- Eliminate incorrect answer choices; crossing out wrong answers increases your odds of answering the question correctly.
