<p>I just got the Campbell textbook today. How much of the book would I have to cover for it to be equal to one year of high school biology? (I'm homeschooled). And is there anything which I need to learn first?</p>
<p>Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks :)</p>
<p>It might help to pull the syllabus for AP bio off the College Board website. I’m almost positive they post them. If you’re not going for AP level it might be a little more intense than you’re looking for, but that shouldn’t be too hard to work out yourself.</p>
<p>I’m not sure whether I’ll be learning AP-level stuff this year - should I just do everything that isn’t AP level?</p>
<p>AP-level is essentially the entire Campbell book (we read it cover-to-cover). I guess below AP level would just be in less detail (ex. you don’t need to know detailed signal-transduction pathways, etc.).</p>
<p>Our school didn’t even cover half of that book.
But I’m still confident in a 5.</p>
<p>That’s because we spend like 3weeks on like respiration/photosynthesis and go into detail and have big tests etc.</p>
<p>So it’d be a little strange to colleges if I covered the whole book before applying, as well as the Chemistry Zumdahl textbook I have, besides taking SATs in those subjects? (I already have a Physics A-level)</p>
<p>not at all.</p>
