I got 4 on the AP Biology exam (2016) and 95 in Biology 30 using these flashcards. Note that I used cloze deletion-type cards and image occlusion extensively, so although pictures and text may not show up properly in the card preview below, they work fine. Tested on Mac, Windows, iOS and Android versions of Anki.
PS. The current setting for new cards in this deck is "show in order added"; I recommend this setting if you are reviewing these flashcards as you continue to progress through the course. The order of new cards can be changed to "random" in Options > New Cards > Order. I recommend using the random setting if you are finished with the course and focusing exclusively on preparing for the exam.
Here are some other resources that I recommend using in tandem with this deck to improve your scores. For questions or feedback hit me up on twitter @catolicisma.
