Biology
As the day of the AP Biology exam approached I worried and panicked more and more. I did not feel ashamed because I would bomb the test due to lack of participation and comprehension but because of my poor studying skills and inability to memorize things. Over the course of the year I feel as though I learned each concept thoroughly, but as we began to review I could not take anymore information. Although it was regurgitated knowledge, I did not engage in each class lecture in order to refresh my memory for the exam. I failed to prepare myself for the exam and I did not allow myself to receive help either. I remember the day before the exam was the first time I opened the AP Biology guide book on my own to learn. I do not feel I did poorly on the test but I am not too confident in my performance. If I had not crammed the day before I may have had more time to complete the multiple choice and get to the dang grid-ins! LOL
