questions they will definitely required explaining, labeling, and drawing. The sooner you start studying,
the better. Let me know if you have any questions and good luck!

RECCOMENDATIONS

 Organize all of your worksheets, labs and quizzes


 Match the quizzes to the notes on your binder/notebook
 Make flashcards of vocabulary
 Re-print graphs and label them without looking at your notes
 Draw and color code things like the cell, the phases of mitosis and meiosis, and
karyotypes
