<p>I’m with MiamiDAP. At my guy’s school most kids had either a 4 or 5 on the AP Bio exam (or equivalent - DE or whatever). The intro to Bio class kind of assumed that incoming knowledge and went on from there. Those without it would simply have more they had to learn to do well. It would not have been wise to skip it and do a higher level class without that foundation.</p>
<p>At many other schools the intro Bio merely repeats AP/DE. At those schools it could be good to skip it and move on.</p>
<p>Decide based upon the school you end up going to and what they recommend.</p>
