<p>@iridescentidyll- PR doesn’t really change its content year to year. The actual content like the information is typically verbatim in the newer PR editions compared to older editions. Also PR reuses the same practice tests for every edition. For example I was looking through a 2007-2008 SAT Biology and compared it to SAT Bio 2010-2011 PR, and i found the practice tests and content the same. Also I was just looking at 5 Steps to a 5 2012 AP Biology Edition and it didn’t mention the change in the AP Bio format. However 5 steps to a 5 2012 AP Bio mentioned the no-guessing penalty, so I guess they do update. But I think PR just reuses information and reuses tests every edition so i guess not much diff. I don’t know if it mentions the new format. Collegeboard is surprising everyone this year so prep books may include it next year. Then again I don’t know if it PR changes to inform changes in collegeboard format. Probably some books will mention the college board changes.</p>
<p>@Keaseby Night- So do you think if I take Honors Chem. it won’t be too hard to get a 5, as long I take notes from Zumhdahl and practice? Did you find Honor’s Chemistry extremely easy? Most people even ccer’s find AP Chem a daunting AP exam so I don’t know. Do you think it easily doable to get a 5 if I put in several hours a week starting now till May? How much effort must I put in every week till May to get a 5 because I will be busy but want to devote some time to AP Chem every week? Any suggestions for prep books?</p>
<p>@Kestrel- [College</a> Board Announces Changes to AP Biology Course and Exam](<a href=“News and Press Releases - Newsroom | College Board”>News and Press Releases - Newsroom | College Board). College Board says they are going to change the AP Bio exam in ways I don’t know. They will give more info in April I think.</p>
