PREVIEW: YOUR KNOWLEDGE, YOUR EXPECTATIONS
Your route to a high score on the AP Biology Exam depends a lot on how you plan to use this book. Start thinking
about your plan by responding to the following questions.
1. Rate your level of confidence about your knowledge of the content tested by the AP Biology Exam.
A. Very confident—I know it all
B. I’m pretty confident, but there are topics for which I could use help
C. Not confident—I need quite a bit of support
D. I’m not sure
2. If you have a goal score in mind, choose your goal score for the AP Biology Exam.
5 4 3 2 1 I’m not sure yet
3. What do you expect to learn from this book? Choose all that apply to you.
A. A general overview of the test and what to expect
B. Strategies for how to approach the test
C. The content tested by this exam
D. I’m not sure yet
YOUR GUIDE TO USING THIS BOOK
AP Biology Prep, 2023 Edition is organized to provide as much—or as little—support as you need, so you can use
this book in whatever way will be most helpful to improving your score on the AP Biology Exam.
The remainder of Part I will provide guidance on how to use this book and help you determine your strengths and
weaknesses.
Part II of this book contains your first practice test, a Diagnostic Answer Key, detailed answers and explanations
for each question, and a scoring guide. (A bubble sheet is included for this first test and additional ones can be
printed from your online student tools.) This is where you should begin your test preparation in order to realistically
determine:
your starting point right now
which question types you’re ready for and which you might need to practice
which content topics you are familiar with and which you will want to carefully review
Room to Write
On the actual test, you will be given space along with the bubble sheet to record
your answers for each free-response question. You should use scrap paper for the
free-responses on these practice tests (diagrams that need to be completed have
been included in the book). After you’ve gotten a hang of the timing, be aware of
how much space each response is taking up, in case you need to write in smaller
print or use fewer words on the test.
Once you have nailed down your strengths and weaknesses with regard to this exam, you can focus your test
preparation, build a study plan, and be efficient with your time. Our Diagnostic Answer Key will assist you with this
process.
The content in this book accurately describes what the College Board has
planned for its May 2023 exam, but in the event there are any late-breaking
changes, please register your book online (it’s free!) to see if there are any updates.
Part III of this book will:

point you toward additional resources
Part IV of this book will explore:
how to attack multiple-choice questions
how to write high-scoring free-response answers
how to manage your time to maximize the number of points available to you
Part V of this book covers the content you need for your exam.
Part VI of this book contains Practice Tests 2, 3, and 4, and their answers and explanations. Compare your
progress between these tests and with Practice Test 1. If you answer a certain type of question wrong several times,
you probably need to review it. If you answer it wrong only once, you may have run out of time or been distracted. In
either case, comparing your progress will allow you to focus on the factors that caused the discrepancy in scores and
to be as prepared as possible on the day of the test.
You may choose to prioritize some parts of this book over others, or you may work through the entire book. Your
approach will depend on your needs and how much time you have. Let’s now examine how to make this determination.
Go online to access two additional AP Biology practice exams, A and B.
HOW TO BEGIN
1. Take Practice Test 1
Before you can decide how to use this book, you need to take a practice test. Doing so will give you insight into
your strengths and weaknesses, and the test will also help you make an effective study plan. If you’re feeling test-
phobic, remind yourself that a practice test is just a tool for diagnosing yourself—it’s not how well you do that
matters. As long as you try your best, you can glean invaluable information from your performance to guide your
preparation.
So, before you read further, take Practice Test 1 starting on this page of this book. Be sure to finish in one
sitting, following the instructions that appear before the test.
Are You a Visual Learner?
If you’re getting overwhelmed by all of the concepts for an AP course, consider
looking at our Fast Track or ASAP books, available for some AP subjects. These handy
guides focus on the most-tested content or present it in a friendly, illustrated fashion.
2. Check Your Answers
Using the Diagnostic Answer Key on this page, follow our three-step process to identify your strengths and
weaknesses with regard to the tested topics. This will help you determine which content review chapters to prioritize
when studying this book. Don’t worry about the explanations for now, and don’t worry about missed questions. We’ll
get to that soon.
3. Reflect on the Test
After you take your first test, respond to the following questions:
How much time did you spend on the multiple-choice questions?
How much time did you spend on each free-response question?
How many multiple-choice questions did you miss?Get complete eBook Order by email at eztutorsource@hotmail.comGet complete eBook Order by email at eztutorsource@hotmail.com

Loading page 10...

Do you feel you had the knowledge to address the subject matter of the free-response questions?
Do you feel you wrote well-organized, thoughtful responses to the free-response questions?
4. Read Part III of this Book and Complete the Self-Evaluation
As discussed in the Guide section above, Part III will provide information on how the test is structured and
scored. It will also set out areas of content that are tested.
As you read Part III, re-evaluate your answers to the questions above. At the end of Part III, you will revisit and
refine those questions. You will then be able to make a study plan, based on your needs and time available, that will
allow you to use this book most effectively.
5. Engage with Parts IV and V as Needed
Notice the word engage. You’ll get more out of this book if you use it intentionally than if you read it passively,
hoping for an improved score through osmosis.
The strategy chapters in Part IV will help you think about your approach to the question types on this exam. Part
IV will open with a reminder to think about how you approach questions now and then close with a reflection section
asking you to think about how or whether you will change your approach in the future.
The content chapters in Part V are designed to provide a review of the content tested on the AP Biology Exam,
including the level of detail you need to know and how the content is tested. You will have the opportunity to assess
your mastery of the content of each chapter through test-appropriate questions.
I know we just said this on the previous page, but it’s worth repeating! The strategy,
content, and practice test chapters in this edition are up-to-date with the most recent
AP Biology redesigns (from 2020). If you register your book online, you’ll have free
access to any further updates.
6. Take Another Test and Assess Your Performance
Once you feel you have developed the strategies you need and gained the knowledge you lacked, you should
take Practice Test 2, which starts on this page of this book. You should finish in one sitting, following the instructions
at the beginning of the test.
When you are done, check your answers to the multiple-choice sections. See if a teacher will read your essays
and provide feedback.
Once you have taken the test, reflect on what areas you still need to work on and revisit the chapters in this
book that address those deficiencies. Once you feel confident, take Practice Test 3, and repeat the process. Take
Practice Test 4, and repeat the process again. Through this type of reflection and engagement, you will continue to
improve.
7. Keep Working
After you have revisited certain chapters in this book, continue the process of testing, reflection, and engaging
with the content in this book and online. Consider what additional work you need to do and how you will change
your strategic approach to different parts of the test.
As we will discuss in Part III, there are other resources available to you, including a wealth of information at AP
Students, the official site of the AP Exams. You can continue to explore areas that can stand improvement and
engage in those areas right up to the day of the test.

Section I of this examination contains 60 multiple-choice questions.
Indicate all of your answers to the multiple-choice questions on the answer sheet. No credit will be given for anything
written in this exam booklet, but you may use the booklet for notes or scratch work. After you have decided which of the
suggested answers is best, completely fill in the corresponding oval on the answer sheet. Give only one answer to each
question. If you change an answer, be sure that the previous mark is erased completely. Here is a sample question and
answer.
Sample Question
Chicago is a
(A) state
(B) city
(C) country
(D) continent
Sample Answer
Use your time effectively, working as quickly as you can without losing accuracy. Do not spend too much time on any
one question. Go on to other questions and come back to the ones you have not answered if you have time. It is not
expected that everyone will know the answers to all the multiple-choice questions.
About Guessing
Many candidates wonder whether or not to guess the answers to questions about which they are not certain. Multiple-
choice scores are based on the number of questions answered correctly. Points are not deducted for incorrect answers,
and no points are awarded for unanswered questions. Because points are not deducted for incorrect answers, you are
encouraged to answer all multiple-choice questions. On any questions you do not know the answer to, you should
eliminate as many choices as you can, and then select the best answer among the remaining choices.Get complete eBook Order by email at eztutorsource@hotmail.comGet complete eBook Order by email at eztutorsource@hotmail.com
