Focus on practicing problems tonight rather than memorizing. This exam is heavy on diagram and data analysis. Problems 4-8 on the study guide and the long free response are very representative of the exam. A fundamental understanding of cellular respiration and photosynthesis is essential but do not waste time and raise anxiety over-studying. Please get rest. And please, please, please, know the theory of endosymbiosis. Good luck!
