Is AP Biology for me? (please help)

AP bio doesn’t require math beside basic stuff.
I think you can give it a try - it’s good you’re trying to challenge yourself and see if science makes are in the cards or if you should look into other types of majors.

On the other hand, next year you’ll be studying for the SAT, with PSAT in October, Sat in March and/or May (perhaps sat subjects in June if you’re really good at a subject). Btw start using Khan academy right now. That sat score will have an enormous effect since most colleges use or not only for admission but also for scholarships…and without scholarships or may be difficult to afford college. so, if AP bio distracts you too much from sat prep, then it’s not a good idea to take AP bio… You have to judge what time you have each day.
Of course there are test optional colleges or colleges that only require your sat subject scores so they’d be a possibility. Perhaps aiming for doing well in both p bio and the sat would be optimal but I’d you feel you can’t do both then you’ll have to decide as to what to prioritize.
Beside physics and AP bio, what classes would you take as far as English, math, and Foreign language?
What ECs do you do?
What colleges are you seeing as matches and reaches? (If you don’t know many colleges, borrow a book called Princeton Review’s best colleges).
