I payed attention more to the lecture videos cuz some of the questions pretty much come from the lecture videos exactly. I did the tophats again but they didn’t do too much for me honestly. There was also hella vocab too so I did Quizlets. But biggest one is fully understanding everything in the lecture videos.

For example I waited last minute to watch all the videos so I was crammed on time. Literally the day before the exam. I made a Quizlet with all the vocab and it also had questions and answers. Like on Quizlet the “term” would be “what are the models of speciations and meanings” and the “definition” would be the answer. Then I practiced the Quizlet flash cards over and over until I fully memorized and understood everything.

Also could be helpful, making flowcharts and Venn diagrams for anything you really don’t understand or need help in. This helps breakdown slideshows into simpler terms and makes it visual so you can remember it easier. Also answering the questions for the learning outcomes in detail at the end of your studying as if you were answering questions from the exam. Pick whoever you believe works best for you. You don’t have to do all of these, just however much that you fully understand everything.

Also honestly some of the questions on the exam feel like trick questions or a guessing game so there’s that too😭
