Revisions to This Edition Part I: Introduction to the AP Biology Examination The introduction aligns with the new Curriculum Framework (CF) launched in the 2012 2013 academic year. The new CF outline is thoroughly explained. The seven science practices are introduced. The description of the exam and the testing hints are revised to reflect the changes in the course, beginning with the 2013 exam. Part II: A Review of Topics with Sample Questions You Must Know boxes are edited to reflect the new CF s change in emphasis. What s Important to Know? boxes are used for material that is no longer explicitly in the CF but may be used for illustrative examples and explanations. New boxes titled Connect with the Curriculum Framework target specific information about the new CF. Although information about the science practices is woven throughout the book, special boxes titled Science Practices: Can You...? give students the opportunity to zoom in, make connections, and apply the science practices. Many new test questions that reflect the new exam are added to each topic, including questions that require interpretation of data and application of knowledge. Grid-in questions are included for each topic as well as revised free-response questions that align with released sample exams. Over 330 sample questions with explanations are included. Part III: The Laboratory This section is heavily revised to reflect the new investigations released by the College Board. All 13 investigations are discussed, with hints, explanations, and sample questions. This section includes a strong link to inquiry and science practices. The CF expects students to be able to apply mathematics to a variety of topics. The formula sheet, provided at the time of the exam, is included in this edition, along with a number of tutorials and problems that take students through sample mathematical applications. More than 40 practice questions over lab topics with answers and explanations are included. Part IV: Sample Test The sample test has been completely rewritten. Most items are new or significantly revised to accurately reflect the types of questions students may encounter at exam time. Grid-in questions are included in the sample test. Students will be expected to have a calculator for the new exam and provide numerical responses with a grid-in system. Free-response questions will be of varying lengths. The sample test follows this new format. Part V: Answers and Explanations The format of this section remains similar to past editions, but some explanations stress connections to the curriculum the student must make, along with a description of pertinent knowledge. Many explanations describe the relevant science practice and its required application to correctly answer. vi
