    Biology is a very broad exam that goes in to detail. You need to familiarize yourself with a lot of info, not memorize everything, just be able to pick the correct answer out of the choices. See if you can check Biology Cliffsnotes out of the library and then read it a couple times, it covers the entire exam and more. The recommendations in the specific exam feedback area were spot on. You do need to know how to do Punnett squares and stuff like that. It's all in the Cliffsnotes. Good luck!

    Yes! I have been studying with the petersons biology for about a week. The first time I took it, I recieved a 43. Im thinking with a little more(a lot more actually) Ill be able to pass.I think the petersons test are harder than the actual test itself so dont discourage! Do you download the quizes? Thats what I am doing right now. I also have biology vocab I read, because there are a lot of genetics on the test and the vocab helps. THe thing I have the most problem on are the graphs. I think though its because im impateint:/ YOu just might need to brush up on vocab:]
