Are AP Biology classes hard?

AP students are expected to comprehend and discuss complex topics in biology with the same aptitude as a freshman in college. Although AP coursework may be difficult, many of our students found the material to be a fun challenge, and beneficial towards their college careers.

Are AP Biology Classes worth it?

The rigorous work involved in an AP course can be intimidating, but the benefits of taking an online AP course are worth it! In addition to gaining incredible knowledge, students will get college credit and college course experience to prepare them for future higher education courses.

How does AP Biology work?

The course takes one semester to complete, and works much like a regular class except more in-depth. AP Biology involves thorough analyses of complicated topics in life-science, with the written and communicative abilities to not only understand the topics but to question them as well. Students will take an AP Exam at the end of the semester to determine how much college credit they’ve earned.

Is AP Biology necessary?

AP class are not necessary to graduate, but they are helpful in applying for college and staying debt-free. AP Biology, along with other AP course, prepares students for a future of further education in nursing or earth sciences which standard courses just can’t match.

How many AP classes should I take?

Research often helps students figure out how many AP classes they should take in a year, but someone’s ability to handle coursework changes year to year as that individual grows. Challenge yourself at first, but try not to overwhelm yourself with work, and go from there.

How does the weighted AP GPA work?

One of the many benefits of taking AP classes is that they count more towards your GPA than standard courses: which means that it is possible for students to achieve a GPA greater than 4.0! Many of our AP students see this as a safety net and a challenge to graduate with a 4.0+ (very impressive to colleges).
