StraighterLine - Intro to Bio Final - Jmed56 - 06-01-2017
Have to take this Final this weekend and am stressing a bit because the Final practice questions seem to be much more difficult than the rest of the tests have been. Anyone have experience or advice for this test? I have a 94 going into it but I'd say that is a soft 94. At least is means I only need to get like 17 out of 60 questions right.

The trick with SL is to calculate exactly the number of points you need (ignore your %) so you can target your study.
The bio final is worth 300 points, which means your work so far is worth 700.
Add up your total points so far (not %) by adding the numbers in the points column. You can find out how close you really are that way.
I take an approach that might be counterintuitive, but I like to study harder for the things I know instead of cramming the things I don't. If you can "count on" mastery of certain subjects, it will carry you forward over the ones you don't know as well. If you cram for things you don't know, then you're not prepared for anything. So, review your favorite chapters and good luck!
