<p>I am a sophomore and taking AP Biology. I have a terrible grade in that class and I find it really difficult. I am wondering that if I switch out of the class after the end of 1st semester, then will it affect my applications and admissions? I talked to my counselor already and it is possible to switch into a different class. I need some advice ASAP.</p>
<p>How terrible is your grade? What will the dropped class look like on your transcript?</p>
<p>Taking AP Bio as a sophomore? Props to you man.</p>
<p>there are so many soph. taking it too! I just get killed by tests.</p>
<p>^ study , brute force meming style</p>
<p>wow…at our school only juniors and seniors are allowed to take AP Bio</p>
<p>Switch out unless you plan on applying to some top tier school. Otherwise, drop it and explain why on you college application</p>
<p>I have a question. Can we take the AP exam without being registered in high school?</p>
<p>@cakane7 I am infering that you are homeschooled? if not sorry, but heres a link - [AP</a> Exams - For Homeschooled Students](<a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/testing/ap/scores/prepare/homeschool]AP”>Homeschooled, Independent Study, and Virtual School Students and Students from Other Schools – AP Central | College Board)</p>
<p>@cakane7 Yes, you can do so. Go take it at a local high school.</p>
<p>i am also taking AP Bio and im a sophomore. i was also wondering if i got a c and if i raise it to an A would that look better since i would improve</p>
<p>It all depends on how your school reports grades. My school just puts in final grades and not the semester’s grades individually. In that case, you cannot show improvement but a B in AP Bio as a sophomore is still pretty impressive.</p>
