Re: Cell Bio C
Hello, I went to the test exchange and went over the virginia practice test but i can't seem to find an answer key. Does anyone here know a link to it? Or perhaps a way to get to on the site that i missed? It would be really helpful for me so if someone gets a chance it would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!

Re: Cell Bio C
That cell diagram was messed up. It didn't tell us the maximum score. bullshi.Cpeterson wrote:On one of my last invitational tests, it listed a series of DNA sequences and asked which was the most stable. How do you tell if a sequence is stable? There were no issues in matching base pairs or stuff like that.
lol. the ones with most triple hydrogen bonds is most stable. aka. guanine-cytosine pairs. i can't wait to beat wayzata at states. their cheap invitationals test pigeon me off.

Re: Cell Bio C
Yeah, I just found that out. I tried actually reading the AP Bio book and I learned a few things. Who knew? I'm wondering what school you are from, Ostonzi, since I didn't know anyone from around us was on the forums.

Re: Cell Bio C
Hello 
It will be my first time doing the Cell Biology event next year at Regionals in NYC. I really want to do well and I'm taking AP BIO now (junior year). What textbooks/books/sites did you guys read to to prepare for this event? I have a copy of Campbell and Reece for AP Bio. Also, do you guys have any general tips for studying biology and doing well on the cell biology event?
Thanks!

Re: Cell Bio C
The Campbell and Reece book has a LOT of good information for this event. Last year, I picked up Cell Bio the day before Nationals (someone couldnt come, so we had to do her events), and I luckily brought my AP Bio book. It had a lot of stuff that was very useful, with good diagrams as well.naureeng309 wrote:Hello

Re: Cell Bio C
Hey so besides the general information about the cell cycle, order it goes in, what happens, etc. What all do we need to know concerning it? I know the rules have an emphasis on mitosis, but my real question is how in depth should we study it? I have most of the major proteins that help with the cell cycle down and yet i've seen questions on tests about specficics that not even the AP book covers. In a perfect world I'd be able to spend all my time on the cell cycle but obviously i can't and need to study other areas of cell as well. Any thoughts?

Re: Cell Bio C
So, I have access to my state test, but it is just questions from various sites and from the Cambell Reece books. And it's 400-ish questions. Is it worth it to put up?
