<p>If you only had 1 month to study like crazy, would you rather study for AP bio or AP chem.</p>
<p>I haven't taken an AP exam before, but I am currently self-studying AP Bio... personally I consider it simpler than AP Chem because it is mainly memorisation (unfortunately I have a terrible memory :().</p>
<p>I would do Chem. I love chem, so I wouldn't mind intensively studying it.</p>
<p>AP Bio w/o a doubt. I'm not sure how anyone could self study AP Chemistry in just one month let alone w/o a class. AP bio would just require reading the Cliffs book once or twice and some good memorization.</p>
<p>hmm to be honest, i have pretty bad memorization. but i think i'll still give it a shot. so the tip would be to read the cliffs AP book?</p>
<p>yep, also the PR sat subject test biology book is a good supplement to prep for the ap</p>
<p>bio..chem's harder i think.</p>
<p>I know that chem is harder, but I like the subject more, so I would enjoy teaching it to myself more as well. I just think it would be easier.</p>
<p>AP Biology - embrace for memorization. AP Chemistry would require total dedication to do within one month.</p>
<p>Definitely Bio, it was so fun =)</p>
<p>bio bio bio bio bio bio bio...chem is too harrd to do in one month because it requires a pretty good understanding of concepts and being able to apply them, whereas bio is mainly memorization</p>
<p>Bio, I can barely do regular chem.</p>
<p>One month would be near impossible for chem IMHO.</p>
<p>thanks for all the inputs. I think I'm going to go out and buy a Cliff AP bio book. Any other books recommended I should buy?</p>
<p>The princeton review SAT subject in biology book, it's useful for the AP because it's an easy yet comphrehensive read. It only took me one day to read and helped a ton.</p>
<p>Bio for me, I despise chem. Bio's mostly memorization which I'm good at, while chem's more about understanding concepts.</p>
<p>barrons all the way........................
It has like EVERYTHING, that could POSSIBLY (kinda...)
be on the test..lol</p>
<p>And the ap one is actually pretty good too (Its well written And not boring, Unlike the SATII one which is EXTREMLY boring, but VERY Useful)</p>
<p>oh god, AP Bio, it is the easiest test to cram study for I think because it's just straight memorization and the open responses are just fact-spitting-out writing prompts while Chem requires actual calculation</p>
<p>I think Princeton Review has a pretty good book, I skimmed it before my test and got a 5 (well, skimmed it with my year long notes aside me... but it's got good info that's really focused in on what's tested)</p>
<p>you can study both for a week and get 5's</p>

<p>Maybe for bio, but definitely not for chem.</p>
