AP Bio Next Year?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Background:
I'm a sophomore currently signed up to take anatomy and physiology next year and I was wondering if I should switch to AP Bio. Biology freshman year was a bit of a struggle- my middle school didn't prepare me for the discourse of my new high school. However, I have greatly improved this year. 3.8-3.85 GPA for every quarter (translates to semester, too). All classes are honors with one AP this year (and last). This year in chemistry I got an A- the first semester due to an A- 1st quarter and an A 2nd quarter (requiring a 100% on the final for an A which wasn't going to happen). And 3rd quarter another solid A in chem. Fourth quarter still has a few days left, and an A- is certainly possible. I got a perfect on the last test, but a pop quiz that I was unprepared for certainly widened the gap in my "total point" score. </p>

<p>So what do you suggest? I'm not too concerned, I just want to be challenged next year. Taking 3 APs as it is next year.</p>

<p>Go for it, just buy a review prep book, the class is going to change next year, so wait for the new prep books. Try to get Princeton’s to study for each test. I had a bad teacher, basically i self studied AP Bio, but it was worth it. Good Luck !</p>

<p>There’s some changes to AP Bio next year, apparently they’re cutting out some of the information and making it more concept/lab based. More info on collegeboard</p>
