AP Biology advice

<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>In my daughter’s version of the course, they started with a chemistry review, and seemed to spend an inordinate amount of time on genetics. Ecology came at the very end of the year, and got squeezed into about a week prior to the AP exam. And I don’t recall any ‘zoology’ per se at all. Unfortunate, as those are the aspects of biology that she’s most interested in! </p>

<p>Your mileage may differ…</p>
