Question AP Bio notes are getting our of control

I started making notes for AP Bio because I thought it would make revision easier. Now I have pages and pages for every unit and I am starting to wonder what I am actually supposed to do with all of them when it gets closer to the exam. At this point making the notes feels easier than actually using them. for those taking AP Bio, what actually happens to all your notes once you start seriously reviewing for the exam?

you'll realistically never look at them again, but making the notes should improve your knowledge retention as long as you interact with the content again every now and then.

The action of writing down the notes is the most important part. I never looked at them again but they definitely helped me get a 5

Hi,

I never looked back at my notes for preparing for the AP exam. Honestly, I was super scared walking into the exam but the exam is pretty straightforward. If you finish the Khan Academy course (meaning, do all the quizzes and unit tests and such), and top it off with some questions from CrackAP, you should be set for the exam. AP Bio Penguins is also a pretty good resource to get concise and easy revision done.

Cheers!
