Okay, for anyone who is wondering, I was going to email out my practice test this evening until I realized it's saved on the network at school, not on my home computer. So I'll try to send it tomorrow. Send me your email address if you want it! I'd still like more responses.

Would you suggest writing everything that you know about that order in the field guide or quick notes?

Hey guys, I just got a call today asking if I could fill in for herpetology and the meet is on Saturday. I am not part of science Olympiad but I do keep over 50 herps, do you have any suggestions as far as cramming?
I have both the Peterson and Audubon guides already so I plan on just reading those I guess?

Get the list and tab the pages with the animals you need to know. One of the issues with a guide is that they concentrate on identification of different subspecies etc., when all you want is the genus, so you might want to mark it up linking the ones that are the same for your purposes. You probably already know some of them, so concentrate on preparing the guide and developing some kind of system for differentiating the tough ones.

I find it best for you to learn unique information on the reptiles and amphibians. It also helps if you practice labeling images of animals and classify them into their common names. Then you could save a lot of time.

Thanks for the replies all, but it turns out the guy who dropped out is now doing it, so no cramming!
