<p>I'm self-studying using Cliff's and PR's AP Biology and concerned about the lab portion. The two books have separate chapters on lab, but will those be sufficient for the exam? I heard from somebody that you should get an official(?) AP Biology lab manual from the College Board, but I don't know how to get it, and is that really necessary? Also, is it free or not?
Thanks.</p>
<p>Try the biology.com lab benches (<a href="http://www.phschool.com/science/biology_place/labbench/index.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.phschool.com/science/biology_place/labbench/index.html</a>) </p>
<p>They can help you grasp the fundamental principals.</p>
<p>thanks, but aren't the lab chapters on PR and Cliff's Biology not enough?</p>
<p>bump........................</p>
<p>anyone?????????</p>
<p>This isn't really on topic, but did you manage to find a school that you could take an exam at?</p>
<p>rockermcr: Yeah..:) Two of the remaining Vancouver private schools granted me permission. I chose the one nearer to where I live (40 minute distance). An AP Coordinator of the school told me to visit her school to sign up, and I did a few days ago. The school made me to pay $125 for each exam, though most Canadian schools require $120. I remember you saying that you're also looking for a school because the AP Coordinator you sent three messages and an email to didn't reply. Did you find one too, or did the previous AP Coordinator reply to you?</p>
<p>Cliff's is enough. Study those labs thoroughly since we didn't have a lab FR last year :-P.</p>
<p>snipez90: Isn't Cliff's outdated? The one I have is the most recent edition (2nd) but it was published in 2001 or something. Also, would the Cliff's by itself be really sufficient for someone self studying?</p>
