Should I take AP Bio in 2012 or 2013?

<p>Hi, I’m a Sophomore becoming a junior next year, and I was wondering if I should take AP Bio in my Junior year or my Senior year.</p>

<p>This is because I have heard that there’s going to be new material/shorter material to learn beginning 2012-2013 for the class.
Any ideas?</p>

<p>Personally, as a person who tends to err to the side of caution, I’d take it before the new changes. You never know what kind of effects the changes will have, in terms of difficulty of the test and the average scores.</p>

<p>As it stands now, the information is very detailed and in-depth, but it’s simple, there’s no deep thinking, and you can easily get a five with minimal effort, especially compared to more analytical APs like USH and WH.</p>

<p>Hmm, I can see what you mean by that, and with three other AP classes (Calc AB, Language, and US History), it may be a good idea to take it Junior year.</p>

<p>I’m taking those exact same three AP classes plus AP Psychology, and I can honestly say that if I had Bio instead of Psych this year (as opposed to Bio and World History last year), it would still be easily manageable. Both Bio and Psych are heavily vocabulary-based, so you can definitely do those four APs together with relative ease.</p>
