About These Notes

These are the notes I used to score high on the AP Biology exam. I’ve cleaned them up and made them easier to read with the help of Scholarly Mind.

My Comments on AP Biology

These notes cover everything you need to know to do well. That said, you don’t need to memorize everything to pass. If you focus on understanding the big ideas, you’ll be fine. But if you’re going for a higher score, these notes will definitely help you get there.

AP Biology is pretty difficult in my opinion, but if you understand the key concepts I've included in these notes, you'll be fine. The multiple-choice section is straightforward. The FRQs require a solid understanding of biological concepts, so be ready to explain the biology behind various processes. You'll also need to have good graphing and analysis skills, which aren't covered in these notes, so make sure you're following along in class for that. I've provided everything you need to know with minimal fluff. These notes should help you get through the school year and be ready for the AP Exam.

We will be posting progress checks on our @scholarlywings TikTok as you progress through these notes through the school year, so stay tuned!
