<p>AP Bio Study Group anyone…?</p>
<p>^^ MegaFund: can you tell me where I can find the downloadable chapters?</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>^^ I think the 3rd link in the original post are the downloadable powerpoint versions of the chapters.</p>
<p>We were novels to read over the summer, either Survival of the Sickest by Sharom Moalem, or The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, by some author who’s name escapes me now. We were also given a sort of biological scavenger hunt, where we must either photograph or sketch many different specimens, amongst other things. Taking the class as a Junior, after already taking Bio I Honors, which in itself deserved AP credits, and can no way be any harder than this course, just because of the amazing instructor teaching it, and Chem Honors, looking forward to the class.</p>
<p>Do you guys recommend the Cliffs book for use not just for reviewing for the AP test but for reviewing for the class itself?</p>
<p>Hey guys, I’m taking IB Bio HL this year and I’d like to take the AP test too if possible. Do you think I’ll learn enough from the course in the first year to take the test in 2012? Or should I wait until 2013?</p>
<p>dear god there’s already a thread for this</p>
<p>I also took AP Chem junior year. I was supposed to take Bio but a week before school I switched to Chem because I found out NU HPME wanted the SAT II for Chem, not Bio. (Lucky me there was a seat left in the class!! Easily the most demanded AP Science class in my school! Phew! :P). So anyways, taking AP Bio now! I’m pumped! I’m also worried, because it’s the only class my friend(basically my mentor lolol) got a B in during high school.</p>
<p>What textbooks are all of you guys using? My teacher has assigned us a copy of Campbell AP Edition Biology (Ninth Edition). It is brand-spankin’ new and oh my god it has an accompanying CD included! Joyous day! *note sarcasm</p>
<p>And as for not getting the new version of the test, I’m glad we don’t because next year our teachers are going to have to re-learn how to teach the course. I don’t know much about scoring and statistics, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a drop in the number of passing scores next year.</p>
<p>Umm apparently I killed the thread haha whoops?</p>
<p>Well anyways, yesterday was my first day! We were assigned the entire first chapter of the book plus a massive packet to complete along with it. Took me a solid 2 hours.</p>
<p>Has anybody else started school yet?</p>
<p>I did! We were assigned over this weekend to finish reading chapter 3-5, and we have the first AP lab on Monday, or Wednesday. We also have our unit 1 test Wednesday or Friday (block schedule). So, by next weekend, we’ll be done through unit one, is that too behind?</p>
<p>Just got my schedule and I have AP bio last period! (: Lab is the previous period every 3rd day… I’m actually excited for it. :p</p>
<p>@Eddie: Haha definitely not. Our AP Bio class (took it last year) didn’t finish Unit 1 until mid-September…</p>
<p>AP Bio at my school is a 2 year course. Sorry guys - I won’t be taking the 2012 test :p. </p>
<p>I’ll be taking the 2013 test :D!</p>
<p>No work as of yet. Great so far!</p>
<p>@CantConcentrate: You give me hope! </p>
<p>I wish my schedule was more balanced. Since we have block, I have all my electives (and Pre-Calc) on one day, and the next I have AP Spanish, AP Lit, APUSH, and APBio. Lol, not very nice but oh well…</p>
<p>Classes started on Monday, the 22nd, and I have my AP Bio class last period. Must say, I absolutely love it. Labs have been done each day, already gone through 3 chapters in a new book we got this year, very engaging conversations and lectures. Experienced instructor with high passing rate.</p>
<p>Just finished chapters 2-3 and took the quiz! Aced it, soliiiid! 
Gotta read chapter 4 this weekend. meh.</p>
<p>Uhhh… We had Chapters 1-5 to do over the summer D: and we just had a giant Ch. 1-5 Test on Friday</p>
<p>I still have 2 days till I start classes…</p>
<p>Lol same.^ XD</p>
<p>By the way guys, on facebook a couple of other CCers and I formed a study group… If you wanna join, PM me and I’ll send you a link. (:</p>
