The schedule presented here is the ideal. Compress the schedule to fit your needs. Do keep in mind, though, that research in cognitive psychology has shown that the best way to acquire a great deal of information about a topic is to prepare over a long period of time. Because you may have several months to prepare for this exam, it makes sense for you to use that time to your advantage. The Kaplan AP Biology book<\/a>, along with your text, should be invaluable in helping you prepare for this test.
