AP Exams new format this year?

<p>Hi,
My AP Bio teacher today said that from this year onwards, the AP Bio exam is going to be in a different format where you have to think more, and it's not going to be mainly a vocabulary test (not sure of other AP exams). Is this true? And what changes should we expect?</p>

<p>Yes, it’s true. I don’t take AP Bio, so I’m not an expert, but you should know the four big ideas? or something like that. try looking at some of these links =)</p>

<p>I took the trial exam last year for College Board’s research. It seems like there is a greater focus on vocabulary and breadth, rather than depth, IIRC. </p>

<p>There’s also a math section. A very easy, genetics-y math section.</p>

<p>awesome, that will make it easier haha!</p>
