5 Steps to a 5: AP Biology 2024 (2024) - Page 13 preview image‹ixPREFACEHello, and welcome to the new edition of the AP Biology review book that promises tobe the most fun you have ever had!!!! Well, OK. . . . It will not be the most fun you haveever had . . . but maybe you will enjoy yourself a little bit. If you let yourself, you mayat least learn a lot from this book. It contains the major concepts and ideas to which youwere exposed over the past year in your AP Biology classroom, written in a manner that,we hope, will be pleasing to your eyes and your brain.Many books on the market contain the same information that you will find in thisbook. However, we have approached the material a bit differently. We have tried to makethis book as conversational and understandable as possible. We have had to review forcountless standardized tests and cannot think of anything more annoying than a reviewbook that is a total snoozer. In fact, we had this book “snooze-tested” by more than fivethousand students, and the average reader could go 84 pages before falling asleep. This isbetter than the “other” review books whose average snooze time fell within the range of14–43 pages. OK, we made up those statistics . . . but we promise that this book will notput you to sleep.While preparing this book, we spoke to 154,076 students who had taken the AP examand asked them how they prepared for the test. They indicated which study techniqueswere most helpful to them and which topics in this book they consideredvitalto successon this test. Throughout the book there are notes in the margins with these students’ com-ments and tips. Pay heed to these comments because these folks know what they are talkingabout. They have taken this test and may have advice that will be useful to you.We are not going to mislead you into thinking that you do not need to study to dowell on this exam. You will actually need to prepare quite a bit. But this book will walk youthrough the process in as painless a way as possible. Use the study questions at the end ofeach chapter in Step 4 to practice applying the material you just read. Use the study tipslisted in Step 3 to help you remember the material you need to know. Take the two practicetests in Step 5 as the actual exam approaches to see how well the information is sinking in.Well, it’s time to stop gabbing and start studying. Begin by setting up your studyprogram in Step 1 of this book. Take the diagnostic test in Step 2 and look through theanswers and explanations to see where you stand before you dive into the review process.Then look through the hints and strategies in Step 3, which may help you finally digest allthe information that comes at you in Step 4. Then, we suggest that you kick back, relax,grab yourself a comfortable seat, and dig in. There is a lot to learn before the exam. Happyreading!

To my wife, Stephanie, your countless hours of reading, rereading, and read-ing once again were of amazing value. Thank you so much for putting in so much time andenergy to my cause. You have helped make this book what it is. To my parents and broth-ers who likewise contributed by reading a few chapters when I needed a second opinion,I thank you. I would like to thank Chris Black for helping me edit and clarify a few ofthe chapters. I would like to thank Don Reis, whose editing comments have strengthenedboth the content and the flow of this work. Finally, a big thank-you to all the students andteachers who gave me their input and thoughts on what they believed to be important forthis exam. They have made this book that much stronger. Thank you all.—Mark Anestis
