Helpful Hints
* Organize your notes
* Make sure you have ALL the handouts and notes
* Make sure all of your quizzes, tests, and assignments are corrected (solutions available online)
* Make summary notes (compress your notes so you only have a handful of papers to study from)
* Make sure you have all diagrams
Prepare
* Analyze your past test/quiz/lab results
Where did you go wrong?
How can you improve?
* Stay relaxed and confident
Don’t talk about the exam to others before you write. Anxiety is contagious.
Reviewing
* Take good notes (make sure everything is correct)
* Organize your notes
* Estimate the hours it will take to review (time management)
* Create a study schedule
Study in chunks, don’t try and study everything everyday
* Test yourself or a friend
Study by yourself, then get a friend to quiz you
Helping other classmates also helps you get a better understanding of the material
* Finish your studying the day BEFORE the exam - Cramming is not good
Get at least 8 hrs of sleep the night before. Have a healthy breakfast and relax
Test Taking
* Read directions carefully
* Do a quick overview of the exam before you start writing
* Answer questions in a strategic order
Easy first - builds confidence and may help you make associations with the harder questions
Put a * beside questions you are unfamiliar with and come back to them later
* Make sure you look at marks allocation and have enough points to get full marks
* A question worth 3 marks will probably require 3 relevant points
* Review
Make sure you have completed all the questions to the best of your ability
Make sure you have answered all the questions. Never leave a question blank
Make a common sense guess, which could give you more marks than if left blank
SNC 2D
Write something that you can remember about the topic
Look for any mistakes you have made
Multiple Choice
* Do the questions you know first
* Read the question a couple of times to make sure you understand it
* Look for key words (always, never, not, etc)
* Process of elimination (cross off answers you know are wrong)
Biology Exam review
1. Plant and animal cells – differences and similarities – know the parts of the cell (organelles) and the function
of each part
2. Know cellular respiration
3. Know the cell theory and cell organization pyramid
4. Know the different types of cells/tissues: muscle, nervous, fat, stem etc.
5. Know the locations and functions of the various tissues --- structure and function are always related
6. Mitosis – know the cell cycle – interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis
7. Be familiar with what is happening to the chromosomes/sister chromosomes, centrioles, spindle fibres,
centromeres, nuclear membrane, cytoplasm, cell wall in each of the stages of mitosis (prophase,
metaphase, anaphase and telophase)
8. Know the heart, the path of oxygenated blood/deoxygenated blood in the heart. Know which vessels lead
to/return from the lungs and which lead to/return from body
9. Human systems – skeletal, digestive, circulatory and respiratory, nervous-how they interact with each other
a. Know the parts/organs, the functions of each part, the pathway (e.g – that food takes through the
digestive system), the functions/jobs/purposes of each system
10. Know the parts of the plants: specifically the different types of tissue and their functions
Optics Exam Review
11. Wave Theory of Light and the Electromagnetic Spectrum/properties of light. Wavelengths of light
12. Be familiar with different sources of light (e.g. bioluminescence, chemiluminescence, phosphorescence)
13. Types of objects – transparent, translucent, opaque, etc.
14. Reflection – point of incidence, normal, incident ray, angle of incidence, reflected ray, angle of reflection, the
“plane” where all these lie. Know the law of reflection: <I =<R
15. Reflection in a…
a. Plane mirror – know the two methods to locate an image in the mirror
i. SALT – characteristics to describe the image
b. Concave/convex mirrors – 3 incidence rays are used to locate the image
i. SALT – characteristics to describe the image
c. Concave/Convex lenses – 3 incidence rays are used to locate the image
i. SALT – characteristics to describe the image
16. Ray diagrams – plane, concave, convex mirror, convex and concave lenses
17. Know which lens/mirror converges light and which diverges light
18. Calculations – magnification (using height and distance), refraction problems, thin lens equation
19. Know about the refraction of light. Does the light bend toward or away from the normal as it passes from a
less dense medium (e.g. air to water or air to glass)? What happens when it goes from a more to a less
dense medium
20. Know the index of refraction formula and how to use it in a word problem. Make sure you list your givens and
your unknowns, then write down the formula and fill in your givens. Solve for the unknown.

get atomic number and atomic mass (know what an isotope is) – know how to determine the number of
protons, electrons and neutrons given the atomic number and atomic mass
25. Be able to draw Bohr-Rutherford and Lewis dot/electron diagrams for any given atom
26. What is an ion? Positive ion? Negative ion?

i. Multivalence ions
ii. Polyatomic ions
b. Molecular Compounds
29. Physical and chemical changes – recognizing chemical change
30. State the law of conservation of mass and explain how this relates to balancing chemical equations.

32. Types of chemical reactions (sd, dd, decomposition, synthesis, combustion)
a. Know how to recognize the types of reactions and how to determine the products
33. Acids and bases
a. pH scale
b. How do you know if it is an acid or a base
