Study materials: study guides & Practice Questions
One of the best ways that you can do better in your classes is by consistently practicing. At PEACE, we aspire to assist everyone in accomplishing that goal. For that reason, the PEACE Advisors often write practice questions that apply to a wide variety of undergraduate classes. Currently, we’ve focused on lower-division science courses, but we’re slowly trying to expand our breach by increasing the classes we cater to. We hope you find this helpful 🙂Â
**Please note that PEACE Advisors have taken time out of their day to make these problems. Please understand that the course material for each course, though relatively conserved, changes from one professor to the next. For that reason, a question that might’ve been applicable to the course in previous semesters may no longer be applicable for you. Just keep this in mind as you read the questions. Lastly, if you find any errors, please email them to pjuthani@berkeley.edu. Everyone makes mistakes, but if we get feedback, we’re hoping to keep those occurrences to an absolute minimum. And as always, if you want to contribute to this sort of open-access tool, please feel free to apply to be a PEACE advisor.

biology 1a
As one of the most dense courses at UC Berkeley (consisting of Biochemistry, Genetics and Physiology), Biology 1A can prove to be very challenging. These questions are intended to give you an insight into some of the major concepts and facilitate your studying. Another great thing about these question is that they are also perfect practice for standardized tests like the MCAT.Â
 Practice questions for Biology 1A can be found here. ​​ Fa15 – Welsh    Cell Biology & Physiology Study Guide Biology 1BMuch like Biology 1A, Biology 1B can also prove to be difficult; however, this class emphasizes the concepts of Plants, Ecology, and Evolution. The questions are intended to be indicative of things you might encounter within the course. Some are short answer and others are multiple choice; regardless, all questions have answers that should elaborate on what is the correct answer and why.Â

The concepts are fundamental in establishing the tone of latter science classes at Cal, and for that reason, it’s important that students take Chemistry 1A seriously and have the resources to succeed. Though the content material for the course varies from professor to professor, some overarching concepts stay the same.Â
Chemistry 3A
Organic chemistry is the first class at Cal that almost all students are seeing for the first time; this is because very few high schools offer intensive organic chemistry courses (and because there is no AP/IB equivalent of Organic Chemistry). For this reason, organic chemistry is something that often scares students because the material seems entirely unfamiliar. At Cal, Chemistry 3A covers the fundaments of stereochemistry and goes into various reaction mechanisms.Â

This presentation was done by Alpha Chi Sigma, which is a professional fraternity specializing in the field of chemistry. They made a presentation that was intended to explain theories, tackle questions and better prepare Chem 3 and 112 students for upcoming exams and lab reports relevant to NMR! Chemistry 3BÂBecause organic chemistry is a year long course, there are two different parts (3A/3B). The second half of the course (Chemistry 3B) cover much more intensive reaction mechanisms and also discusses their biological relevance. Specifically, the course tends to focus on amine chemistry, aldehyde/ketone chemistry, and carboxylic acid chemistry; it culminates in understanding these groups in relation to biological macromolecules (proteins, carbohydrates, etc.)Â
