<p>^^ Awesome, that gives me some relief! The AP Biology review books I have bought are all the 2012 version so I’m guessing that they have the updated score. </p>
<p>Just to clarify, are you saying that you have self studied and got a score of a 5? If so, awesome! and I have a few questions.</p>
<p>1) I know in school you would probably do labs but are they really that important? If I self study, I can probably guarantee that I will not be doing any labs on my own.</p>
<p>2) Do review books have enough information to teach you how to write an essay? I honestly have no idea where to get started on those.</p>
<p>I’ve taken Biology Honors so I think I have a fairly good idea on how things work and it shouldn’t be too hard.</p>
<p>3) Can I just read through the review books? Or should I actually read the textbook (mentioned above - Reece & cambels?). I personally find the review book quick and easy to understand. It would be more beneficial to me if I read chapters in the review book a few times instead of using that time to read the chapter once.</p>
<p>Thank you!!!</p>
