<p>So I am interested in studying for the 3 tests above. My school does not offer any science AP courses, which is annoying, because Science is awesome. My school has an Honors Chemistry class, which I am enrolled in, and the teacher did tell me we go pretty in depth to the book. However, my physics class I am enrolled in is Algebra based, and the teacher is a Bio major--and a first year teacher. Lovely, right? I guess my questions are: Are Prep books sufficient for these subjects? I have an AP Bio book I bought last year (Campbell) and a Physics book someone gave me (Douglas C. Giancoli) but a standard Chemistry book.
The subject I'm concerned the most about is Physics. I know I can self study AP Biology (Would a prep book be enough for that, or should I use my text book also?) Chem does not seem too bad, but I hear most people have to years of chem before attempting that test...</p>
<p>Thoughts on self study for Physics (B), Chem, and Bio? Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>Have you taken an advanced bio course in high school? If so, check through your prep book and see what you have learned that will be in the test (the book should tell you what you need to know) AP bio, when you’re prepared, is, in my opinion, the easiest of the science APs (though i have heard that environmental is easier, but i didnt take it.) Honors chem is most likely an excellent preparation, but once again, i would recommend a prep book and really prepare. the chem ap test can get tricky, but as long as you know the concepts, it’s fine. Physics, i don’t know much about, because i havent taken the test yet (currently enrolled). I would think though, that if you self studied with a prep book, you could definitely do well. My Physics B AP class is mostly algebra based as well.</p>
<p>No, I did not take AP Bio at school. I did take the SAT Bio, though.
Thanks for your input, I feel better about Chemistry now. What Physics book do you use? I still have a feeling a Prep book is not enough.</p>
<p>I have a Princeton Review Physics B book. Anyone have any opinions on that one?</p>
