<p>So I just enrolled in AP Bio for my senior year, and immediately people start telling me how awful it is. I'm actually kind of excited for it, I want to go into more detail on how life (Cells, DNA, etc) works at basic level. So I'm trying to stay positive!</p>
<p>Do any of you guys that have been through AP Bio have any advice? Is it mostly memorization, or formulas, or what? And how far in-depth does it go in terms of ecology and zoology? Thanks!</p>
<p>A test is just a test. I honestly LOVED learning about DNA, ecology, animal and plant functioning, etc. The only reason people are scared is because they take AP’s for the " 5 " on their mark; I don’t really care about that. I don’t mind if I get a 1 2 3 4 or 5 on the exam. Although my teacher is expecting a 5 out of me, from my entire class, its because i love the SUBJECT not the grade I’m going to receive. If you love bio, you’ll love this class. Just remember, stay on a steady and tenacious studying path and you’ll be fine in both the regular class tests and the AP exam.</p>
<p>If you’re a motivated student, you’ll do just fine. You will have to commit quite a but of time and effort into reading the textbook extensively in order to understand concepts and memorize terms, however. But if you like science, then it’s not bad at all. Just make sure you are caught up with your reading assignments and read chapters several times before tests. Good luck.</p>
