My daughter does not take Biology before, she is currently in 10th grade, she has some difficulties in AP Biology so far, she does not understand what her teacher teaches in class, she self-studied Chapter 1, 2, 3 in the text book(Campbell), it helps but it is still not enough. Her teacher teaches very fast in these 3 chapters , most of her classmates know the fundamental knowledge of Biology from Honor Bio in 9th grade, so they are fine. She failed on the first test in class.
What else she must do by herself to keep up with class? What books she should read to improve her knowledge about Biology? She cannot get any helps except studying by herself on the lacking knowlege for the Pre AP Bio.
What is the good book for her situation? Right now our main concern is how can she can keep up with class? I do not ask about the long run, she does not want her GPA drops down, so far she gets 4.0 un-weighted.
Please help. Thank you very much.
