<p>Hi guys, I'm a high school freshman self studying biology, but I'm a bit confused. I have two books, the CliffsNotes AP Biology 3rd Edition and a McGraw Hill 5 steps to a 5. The McGraw says that the short answer part requires me to answer 4 short answer questions, however the CliffsNotes book says I have to write an essay, on any biology topic. Could someone clear up which one I'm supposed to do? Thanks!</p>
<p>Check out the past free response sections here (it’s a very good idea to attempt several of these as practice before the AP test): [AP</a> Central - The Biology Exam](<a href=“Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board”>AP Biology Exam – AP Central | College Board)</p>
<p>There are 4 short answer questions, some of which are indeed essays.</p>
