To get a 5 AP biology: is it enough just read chiffnotes or barron and a 61% is a 5

<p>I already have the chiffnotes and barron i also brough some flashcards.</p>

<p>I am planning on taking about 8 practice tests from books like chiffnotes and barrons
but let us say that I did 3 practice tests. Is it enought to just read these books to get a 5 in the AP biology exam.</p>

<p>Which book is close to the AP biology exam Chiffnotes or Barrons?. I heard barron was harder, but i want to know which close to exam.</p>

<p>And also
Chiffnotes say
61-100 is 5 How can a D be a 5 just curious
47-60 is 4
39-46 is 3
30-38 is 2
0-29 is 1</p>

<p>IDK, because I am on the same boat as you…I never took a bio class in high school. However, I read Cliff’s and got a 770 on SATII Bio…So this time, I’m reading PR AP Bio and Cliff’s and hoping for a 5.</p>

<p>yeah idk either but im reading cliffs…but is it possible to get a 5 with just cliffnotes?</p>

<p>It’s totally possible.
I’m using Cliffnotes as a supplement to my reading/AP Bio class.
Pretty good guide overall.</p>

<p>im taking AP bio on FLVS (online)… the class isn’t amazing, but it seems like it goes into WAY more depth that cliffs. does cliffs really cover everythign to the depth its needed for the test?</p>

<p>cliff doesnt cover everything in depth b/c if i did, no one would want to read it. i think cliff’s and barron’s tests are similar, but the content is a little different; barron’s gives u lots of details, some of which are irrelevent to the AP bio test, whereas cliffs just gives AP Bio in a nice, concise form</p>
