You have anatomy in high school? That is just amazing…

This a difficult question to answer, but I think that if you are lagging behind in Honors Bio, you might not make it in AP Biology. This is because you need to know quite a broad amount of material in AP Biology - and anything in the syallbus is fair game in the exam. It is mostly the Physiology questions that get students because there is a LOT to know.

However, since you are taking Anatomy now, which from my college courses, is quite difficult, you can make it in AP Biology with that extra knowledge. Just emphasize your studying on Molecular Biology (Cell Biology, Energetics and Genetics) and do your plants and ecology, and you will be fine for a 5.
