<p>I'm trying to self-study biology next year and I just want some tips. Is it hard, easy? I have taken honors biology and got 730 on the SAT II so I think I have a good basic knowledge, but would it consume alot of my time? Prep book is Cliffnotes, right? but is one book enought? HELP ME OUT THANK YOU!</p>
<p>it was hard i thought… but if u did ok on the sat II then u should be fine then</p>
<p>One review book will probably be enough for a 5. But this is if you completely memorize. I’d also get the PR if I were you. It’s not too bad to self study, but don’t do it all at once. Do chapters and spread it out over months b/c you’ll forget if you leave it for the week of. You can do that with some tests, but not Bio.</p>
<p>Bio isn’t at all difficult in the amount of materials. The difficulty lies in the fact that there is a tremendous amount to memorize.</p>
<p>1) Buy 1-2 books if you want.</p>
<p>2) study a chapter a week, make sure you memorize what it is about and tie it in to others.</p>
<p>3) keep doign this until you finished the book.</p>
<p>4) review again.</p>
<p>5) take as many practice tests</p>
<p>6) A 5 will be on your way.</p>
