How to Prepare

It's time to start studying! SMCM neuroscience students are planning to host free and fun virtual review sessions before the Bee. These will occur on Wednesday March 4th and Thursday March 5th from 5:00 - 6:30 pm.

These will be fun review sessions! There is no need to prepare, but if you review the materials ahead of time, you will gain more from these sessions.

All questions in the Bee will be drawn from the following resources:

Brain Facts, a free book published by the Society for Neuroscience.

The book is available as a .pdf and also as an audiobook: https://www.brainfacts.org/the-brain-facts-book
