Tips for studying AP Bio

In this post, I will outline some steps to succeed in class this year:

• Review daily – Don’t cram; small, consistent study beats marathon sessions.

• Master the vocabulary – Know the terms before tackling complex concepts.

• Connect concepts – Understand why processes happen, not just what happens.

• Practice with diagrams – Draw and label pathways, cycles, and structures.

• Use past AP questions – Get familiar with question style and scoring rubrics.

• Think like a scientist – Interpret data, graphs, and experiments critically.

• Teach someone else – Explaining concepts helps cement your own understanding.

• Ask questions early – Don’t let confusion pile up. See me for Office hours/ schedule to see me in morning before school or after school.
