Tips on Studying for Biology 2 Lab Tests

1. Be prepared You may or may not have heard about the lab tests before you enter biology 2 but as a warning these tests are among the hardest I have taken in my college career. These tests are not a pushover test like you would think, there is a lot of material to be memorized and a lot of slides you have to know the name of. I suggest as soon as you hear the lab test is coming up you start studying IMMIDIATLY. Time is your biggest enemy when it comes to studying for this test. A hint at how hard my test for this was, I had a 127 question fill in the blank test. 

2. Look up external sources for slides Your teacher may use the slides you looked at in class but more then likely with the age of technology he will do like mind did and put pictures on a power point presentation and just cycle through them. In this case your drawings you have made will do you only so good since most of the pictures will be different then what you observed. The internet is your friend here. I Google searched every organism that I was told to study and looked at multiple pictures of them. Remember, organisms like dinoflagelates, diatoms, and radiolaria have MANY different forms. Looking at just one picture will not be good enough.
