<p>Is it possible to self-study AP Bio in one month?</p>
<p>I was going to take AP Envi Sci but honestly that exam is worthless at every college I'm considering at this point.</p>
<p>Um, no. The textbook (at least the one we used) was about four inches thick and had 55 chapters. Plus the exam sometimes covers labs that onlu the course offers. However, if you are a senior you might want to give it a shot since it may be useful for college. (but the deadline for schools registering the tests has long passed, so i don’t see how).</p>
<p>Uhmm you could memorize cliffs</p>
<p>Unless you have cliff and it has been done before, but depends on how intelligent and diligent you are. But even for me, I would not attempt it unless Bio is the only AP exam I’m taking.</p>
<p>This would not be feasible for the vast majority of people.</p>
<p>That’s definitely not the news I was hoping for ):</p>
<p>I’m not necessarily aiming for a 5, by the way 
All I need is a 3.</p>
<p>a three is possible, but you need a GOOD amount of study time every day.</p>
<p>I’m taking the Bio test this year too. My AP Bio class was only able to finished 22/55 chapters from our book, which isn’t much. There will be at least 1 question from each chapter on the exam along with multiple-choice questions and one free-response question pertaining to 12 labs (I only did 1). You have to know Photosynthesis, Respiration, a little Chemistry, Plants, Animal Reproduction, Evolution, Ecology, etc. I’ve already learned about 60% of this stuff from class, and I spent 4+ hours studying everyday of my spring break. And I won’t be done studying until a few days before the test…but then again, I’m going for a 5 and biology is my favorite subject</p>
<p>Earning a 3 from a month of studying is possible IF you are willing to do the preparation. Biology is not hard. It’s just hours and hours of memorization (basically all your free time at this point), so it really helps if you like the subject. Buy a book called “CliffsAP: Biology AP 3rd Edition”. You can find it most book stores. People have gotten 4s and 5s by studying this book alone, but they usually have some background in bio or have more than a month to study. This book also covers the 12 labs that you are expected to know. Get this book!</p>
<p>Will do 
I’ll be able to study when it’s slow at work/on breaks at work, and in my free time at home, in study halls, etc. I have quite a bit!</p>
<p>I’ve taken a biology course, a pre-ap chemistry course, and i took ap chemistry for 3 weeks! 
Haha. I have a bit of background.</p>
<p>If it makes you feel any better, I just started self-studying bio off the cliff’s book mid-March, and I’m on Molecular Genetics right now, which is the 7th of 14 chapters. I went on a hiatus all of last week, too because of school work. So really, it’s been about 2 weeks. It’s doable, just make sure you don’t procrastinate TOO much. </p>
<p>I do suggest, however, buying a second book (PR, maybe?) to supplement. Some of the Cliff’s chapters go into too much detail, and it might save you more time if you just use the PR book (I did that for photosynthesis - hated the diagrams in Cliff’s). But to ensure a better score, do use Cliff’s as your primary source.</p>
<p>Doing stuff last minute definitely isn’t good, but I guess we’re both in the same boat. Good luck! (:</p>
<p>Just got the new REA AP Biology Crash Course, hoping it’s as good as the REA AP USH Crash Course. If you’re pressed on time, Crash Course is great.</p>
<p>I have it its not as good as the euro crash course or the gov crash course its good but i was expecting more!</p>
