New AP Bio prep books?

<p>I heard that the ap bio exam will change starting at upcoming 2013. It will be more conceptual rather than requiring the memorization of hard facts. Are there gonna be new ap prep books (like PR and Barrons) that adhere to that change? And the ap bio teachers are aware of that change right?</p>

<p>I think so. There should be new AP review books.</p>

<p>Yeah, hopefully there should be new books. My teacher said they made the exam more application based, not fact based. They also removed a few sections like Plants I think, check the College Board syllabus for more info.</p>

<p>do any of you guys have an idea if the test will be harder or easier this year?</p>
