Biology AP

I’m a freshman at a magnet high school taking Biology Honors. I’m going to self study for the AP Biology test in May. I got to a very prestigious high school and most of the kids in my grade are taking the test with help from tutors and after schools. Can I start self studying now (4 months) and still get a 5? Any tips/advices/ studying plans that was effective for you? Thanks! Oh and do you recommend reading the textbook, then studying the prep workbooks, or just going straight to the prep workbooks?

Prep workbooks have done the trick for most people. As long as you remember everything in them, and do well on the practice exams.

At my high school, the biology honors I took freshman year ended up being very similar to the AP Bio that I’m taking now. I think it’s doable
