<p>Alrite, I have an A, currently, in both AP lit and bio. Lit is pretty hard but our teacher is nice so thats why a lot of people have A's. However, he gave us a practice Multiple Choice AP exam test as a graded test a while back. Like mostly, everyone in all three periods that he teaches failed. I somehow managed an 85 on it but that was due to pure guessing.</p>

<p>Basically, the class average was like 40, 50, and 60, lawl. I had the 1st highest grade int he class but I don't feel like I can do that for the actual AP exam...since I just guessed on here and somehow turned lucky...I didn;t even understand theq uestions and almost fell asleep since it gave me such a bad migraine!! When I take practice MC tests, I usually keep missing a LOT and it ****es me off because the text is soo confusing...for the essay, I usually score 8s or 9s but that is because he lets us take our timed writes home and edit them...which I spend like 2 hours editing and perfecting.....lol so basically, im screud for MC and all 3 timed writes...</p>

<p>For Bio, this class is pure hell. The teacher is pretty cool except he doesn't teach "that much"...a lot of his lectures are from power points, whcih are like 1 word..and he explains in detail in class..which most of us forget. I have an A now (idk if it will stay that way since I bombed a test on the endocrine, nervous, and circualtory system....it was ridiculous) Anyway, I'm using barrons for this (aand Lit) and barrons is freaking descriptive..its really hard to memorize all of it...</p>

<p>Gah..does anyone have any advice on what to do? (If you don't want to read this whole rant, let me summarize. AP LIT: hard, nice teacher, haz A in class, guessed on MC benchmark and somehow managed an 85, rest of class failed, getz 8 or 9s on timed writes, but he lets us take it home to edit, barely anyone finishes timed write int he allotted time that he gives us</p>

<p>AP BIO: haz A, hard but cool teacher, doesnt teach that much, study guides are pretty vague which screws us over for actual tests, gah</p>

<p>advice?</p>

<p>I have also noticed that people who do bad in class get 4s and 5s on the AP exam. I am going to be po'ed if those people who got like 30 percent on that last MC benchmark for Lit or w/e manage a 5..i mean this was an old 2002 AP lit actual exam..so I dunno...</p>

<p>Anyone cmon please…i just need advice on what books are the best for these two and what study schedules you guys implemented…thanks!</p>

<p>idk about english but for AP bio use CLIFFS NOTES!! I have it, and it’s really accurate, precise, good, awesome. Just read through it twice, thoroughly, and do practice problems. You should get a 5.</p>

<p>Ok, I will get cliffs notes…sometimes, I hate APs lol</p>

<p>I second Cliffnotes for Bio. For Lit., just keep in mind that you can get mediocre scores on your essays and m.c. and still pass with a 3 or sometimes even a 4. My only advice there would be to do as many practice exams as possible. I’m not sure what book would be best, unfortunately. Perhaps your teacher would know? Good luck! :-)</p>
