How to Study for Science

[nsguy1350]

Alright, as we all know, there are three sections on the Science test: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. How should I go about studying these topics?
For Biology, I have a school-issued biology textbook, which I plan on reading thoroughly. What other (onl-ine) sources should I use to help prepare me for the questions specifically found on the Science test?
For Chemistry, I'm hoping that a Pre-AP chemistry course can guide me through most, and then maybe some # research can help me with the rest. What AP material is found on the chemistry section that I should look up #, specifically for the UIL Science test?
For Physics, I plan on learning all of the electricity and magnetism through # sources, reviewing my Pre-AP Physics textbook, and learning through class. Anything else I should focus on?

I'd like to take 10th Science at TMSCA State this year. Hopefully, NS, Math, and Calculator don't suffer much because of this. This will be a lot of material to digest!

I don't waste my time with pre AP, I just go to the AP stuff. I know all the pre AP because I studied it during 8th grade summer. So as of right now I have a: pre - AP chemistry (#), AP Biology (Intense), and AP Physics (Great!)...
So ya since you are probably older than me(what grade are you in?) you should go to AP if you know the basics.

I'm a sophomore, but I don't have any AP Materials right now. I'll be taking both AP Chem and Physics next year though, so that won't be a problem. I'll try to find some good things #.

What I have going for me:

PAP Biology (Freshman Year)
PAP Chemistry (Sophomore Year)
PAP Physics (Junior Year)
AP Chemistry (Junior Year)
AP Biology (Senior Year)
Scientific Research & Design (Senior Year)

By far, Chemistry is my rock solid field. I don't have much worries in this field.
I'm currently taking AP Biology, that should help me out as well.
Scientific Research & Design will turn into a UIL Science Class starting March.

It's a good thing when your PAP Chemistry, AP Chemistry, Scientific Research & Design, and UIL Science coach is the same teacher :)

What I have going against me:

A schedule conflict that prevented me from taking AP Physics senior year

I am just left with a level of PAP knowledge and absolutely nothing else.

How I study:

A lot of independent work in AP Biology my teacher gives us
I have a whole bunch of Powerpoints created courtesy of my UIL Science coach. Biology & Chemistry topics only, unfortunately not Physics.
Reviewing all my PAP Physics notes - They'll get me somewhere
Reading the Physics book of course!!! Easy 6, 12, 18 (Possibly 24 or 30) points! [Depending on how many book questions are on the test]
Attending the "Spring Break final practice meet" my coach has for the team

The # review is pretty good, for physics my best subject i have two different textbook a college level text from my cousin and a AP text from my physic teacher. I studie mathematic portion of the tests while i study for math since it reinforces the mathematical concept and makes it easier to deal with and all the text fact seperate.
