<p>does anyone think that taking the test without taking the class is a good idea?</p>
<p>i took "honor" biology ninth grade year and now im a sophomore...</p>
<p>im studying for the SAT 2 bio and am scoring around 680-720.</p>
<p>tthanks in advance</p>
<p>i would study some more for the AP test.</p>
<p>I got a 4 on AP (self-study) and 750 SAT II.</p>
<p>AP Bio is a huuuuuge amount of work.</p>
<p>i would recommend either taking the course or ramping up the studying a lot. The AP Bio tests was one of the hardest I've taken, even with the class (and I've taken four without taking classes).</p>
<p>I want to do the same, do you think I do well if I used Cliffs AP Bio, Kaplan SAT II bio and a campbell's textbook?</p>
<p>^^Sure, if you actually have the time to read through all of it. Preferably twice. You could probably just use Campbell and Princeton Review if you read Campbell <em>very</em> thoroughly, PR's not as good as Cliffs but one heck of a lot shorter.</p>
<p>Just read the entire Campbell textbook (~1000pages) and you should be good, I thought the AP Bio test was extremely easy (got a 5) but I had an awesome teacher.</p>
<p>ya, i took ap bio test without course, and got 4 :)
just study yourself and you're good to go</p>
