AP Bio Exam - level of difficulty?

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>I'm a miserable AP Biology student this year... debating whether or not I should even attempt to take the test. I took the class because my counselor convinced me that I needed to take an AP Science in order to apply to some of my reach schools.</p>

<p>By listening to this advice, I've gotten the worst grade of my high school career first semester and only doing a little bit better this quarter.</p>

<p>I would need a 3 for the college I will most likely be attending (unless I get into my reach school, which requires a 5... which is clearly an impossibility for me)</p>

<p>I ask because I need to register in the next few days,
and my 86 dollars will not be refunded if I decide not to take the test. :/
I'm also taking 3 other AP tests... it's likely my brain will be fried come the Bio exam.</p>

<p>For those of you who have taken it - how difficult is it and is it even worth the struggle?</p>

<p>Depends on your major. If you are going to be a science major in college, which it doesn’t seem like the case here, taking it wouldn’t benefit you much unless you’re in a special program. Getting a 5 would be rather difficult if you are struggling, but a 3 should be manageable with minimal prep. If your future school likely won’t take below a 5 I would save the $86.</p>

<p>what other ap classes you’re taking? Besides, I heard APCliff is good for studying for AP Biology.</p>

<p>I’m also taking AP Calculus AB, AP Spanish, and AP English Lit.</p>

<p>I think I can manage a 3… unfortunately, I haven’t heard from my reach school which only accepts a 4 or 5. My other top choice will take a 3 for a few credit hours.</p>

<p>oh you have time to study AP Bio and get at least a 4 if you study diligently.</p>
