Prep Books and Study Tips for AP Biology and AP Physics 1

Hey all

I’m taking AP Biology and AP Physics 1 this coming year so just wanted some tips and ideas for the best review books.

I’ve been doing some of my own stuff for biology this summer by watching Bozeman Science, Khan Academy, and reading Campbells so is that good and preparing me? The primary reason I’m doing so much ahead of time is for Biology Olympiad btw. How else should I prepare ahead of time for AP Biology? What are the best books for it?

For Physics, I haven’t been doing much this summer but i may. What should I do to prepare and do well in it? Which books?

I’ve taken ap bio and did well, so i can give advice on that. it seems that you’re doing pretty well with preparation. If you really want to do well, you can always buy the AP exam prep books. I recommend the princeton review for new concepts. It explains it in simple english and has understandable analogies and diagrams. But for you, who has already been studying, you might want to read the Barron’s book. It’s much more in depth and is harder to understand if you haven’t been exposed to the material before. That shouldn’t be a problem for you. It’s also great practice for the Biology olympiad.
