Yes, I remember learning about the different types of agar and media, but my midterm covered those because they were Lab 4 for me. My final is only covering Labs 6-10, but some of those labs did cover biochemical tests, and media to some extent. I didn't have any pictures on the midterm, but maybe I'll see some on the final! And I realize the instructors and vary, so I should take all advice with a grain of salt. I'm going to review the study guide / essay questions, past quizzes, and labs. Thank you for your help regardless of whether my exam is similar to yours or not!

Do you mean I should know the lab material / pictures from lab (i.e. from "Classification of Bacteria" and "Biochemical tests" labs)? I don't remember there being any pictures on the midterm, were there pictures on your version of the final? And by different mediums, do you mean the different biochemical tests? Sorry I keep asking more questions, I am just so nervous, I'm not a good test taker! Thanks for all the advice though

Hey! Did you take your final yet? I am taking mine tomorrow

Thanks for the reply! I know you said you do not remember the exam itself (I wouldn't either!), could you tell me what was more difficult about it? Was it the material that was harder to understand, or were the actual questions more difficult? I actually did better on the essay questions on the midterm than I did on multiple-choice!

I'm taking my Microbiology final next week through Rio Salado, and I am so nervous! I do all the homework and take notes, but I feel overwhelmed by the information. I do NOT want to take it again! Can anyone offer any study tips or advice? Is the final similar to the midterm in terms of difficulty? Or harder? Thanks in advance! :)
