Talk:AP Biology

This article needs a lot of work. The exam topic list leaves off too many of the subjects of AP Bio, while listing embryology, which is a tangential topic at best.--dilettante 18:06, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Text moved around a bit from previous version. Here are some areas where the topic could be improved: break out areas of concentration [lose embyrology], section on the required labs, section on supplemental labs that people do, perhaps a section on what sorts of credit colleges give for a 3, 4, or 5 on the exam.--dilettante 18:06, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

AP Bio is taken mainly by juniors and seniors, not sophomores. It would be an odd school, indeed, to have mainly sophomores taking the course. Haven taken chemistry in the junior year is a strong suggestion; thus, most students taking AP Bio are actually seniors. Please, let's not make this a recurring revert issue. --dilettante 18:06, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

When I took AP Biology at my school, 90% of the class were sophomores and chemistry is not a perquisite for the class. It is actually advised at the school I attended to take AP Biology right after biology. If you would look, I said it depended on the High School, therefore allowing for the different state or local requirements. Don’t say a fact is not accurate if it is true for some schools while also stating that the class makeup is subject to different schools. Where did you get the part of having poor students encouraged to take the course? Just for my curiosity. Did you consider all the state requirements? That is what we must both do and come to a conclusion. Lord_Hawk 12:32, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Updates...
I made a few changes, clarifying the format of the writing portion, updating the first listed link to be a bit more user friendly, and adding the 2006 score distribution results. --Silver2Falcon 22:28, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Grade distributions
Where do the page's 2008 grade distributions come from? I can't find them in the references and as far as I know they are not posted on the collegeboard website.Fusionshrimp (talk) 19:56, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Advanced Placement United States History which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 21:28, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

The course
There are critics of the AP program that believe that the high school science curriculum does not adequately prepare students with a background college-level scientific studies and that students who have studied AP Biology do not perform as well in college science classes as might be expected of someone who successfully completed an AP course in the subject matter.[3]

I'm not sure what this sentence is trying to say. Could someone please clarify? Thanks Prosecretin (talk) 04:19, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
