Why misconception-targeted, not problem volume
Most AP Biology points are lost to a small set of well-documented misconceptions: treating natural selection as goal-directed (organisms "trying" to adapt), confusing diffusion and osmosis direction, conflating mitosis with meiosis, assuming a dominant allele is the more common one, and thinking photosynthesis "creates" energy rather than transforming it.
If you hold a misconception, more practice with it intact reinforces it. The fastest path from a 3 to a 4 is identifying which two or three misconceptions are costing you points and addressing them directly. That is what Mistake Master is built to do.
