    Study Notes

    STEM Subject Areas for College Entrance Exam Prep

    • Biology: Focus on cell biology, genetics, ecology, and human body systems.
    • Chemistry: Master atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical reactions, and stoichiometry.
    • Physics: Understand Newton's laws, work-energy theorem, electricity, waves, and optics.
    • Earth Science: Know about plate tectonics, climate science, and astronomy.
    • Organic Chemistry: Essential for many biological processes. Focus on functional groups, naming, and reactions.
    • Thermodynamics: Relates to energy transformations in physical and chemical systems.
    • Modern Physics: May include topics like special relativity, quantum mechanics, and atomic structure (though this overlaps with Chemistry).
    • Evolutionary Biology: Understanding the processes of evolution (natural selection, adaptation) is beneficial.
    • Molecular Biology: Explores the structure and function of biological macromolecules (proteins, DNA, RNA).
    • Ecology: Covers various ecosystems, biomes, biodiversity, and interactions within an environment.
    • Human Anatomy: Deeper understanding of the human body's systems, both structurally and functionally.
    • Environmental Science: Examines the interactions between humans, the biosphere and our environment.
