Dear Reader 51

Do you have any tips on how to study for the Bio 1AL practical? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks K!

Dear J,
Thanks for stopping by! 
Unfortunately, they changed the format of the class since i've taken it, and I don't think the practical is the same as last year. When I took the practical, I wasn't prepared at all. But from my experience, I would say know analogous structures/functions, pathways, etc, know the cladograms (is that what they are? the trees haha), know what structures belong in what species and what doesn't, i.e gall bladder, know the structures of a sheep pluck (I don't know if you'll have one for your practical, but it was on my practical and it was never part of our labs..), and know the organisms in the marine tank. For me, these were the trouble areas (which is basically everything haha), especially the first two. I'm sorry I can't be more precise and detailed- it's been a while since i've taken the class, and I don't want to lead you astray since your practical will be formatted differently than mine  :/ 
Good luck!
-K
