How to Prepare for the First Test!

In class on Friday 9/18 we will discuss how to write a Biology FRQ. Your tests in AP will consist of Multiple Choice questions and 1-2 FRQ's. I will grade the M.C. just like they will with the AP. We will discuss the rationale of leaving questions blank and penalty points.

Now items to ponder:

Do you know how to articulate speciation?
Do you have an example of convergent evolution?
Are you able to distinguish between the 3 modes of natural selection?
How do islands contribute to adaptive radiation?
Given a situation, can you distinguish the correct isolating mechanism?
What is natural selection?
What conditions must exist for H-W equilibrium?
Are you reviewing your vocabulary?

What are the equations used for H-W?
Do you know when to solve for q rather than q2?

Make sure that you can IDENTIFY, EXPLAIN AND PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE for any FRQ question.

Ponder these questions, which should provide you with more topics to study. Start studying this weekend as next week is hectic with Homecoming.

Let me know if I can help
