How do I study for the AP Biology exam?
I would like a 4 or 5 on the AP Biology exam but my teacher does not teach at all. We mostly do 3-4 packets and one lab before a test and the our tests are just memorization. I have not learned anything in the class.

Should I take Physics Honors or AP Biology?
I'm in high school and for my science class next year I have the option to take Physics or AP Bio but I don't know which one would be more useful. I want to go into biomedical engineering and biology is more closely related to that field but I have also heard that colleges want students to take the main three sciences (biology, chemistry, physics) in high school. Which class should I choose?

Courses in high school
A lot of colleges recommend that students take all three fundamentals of science (biology, chemistry, physics), however I'm looking into doing AP Biology instead of doing physics since biology is more related to my field of interest. Will that affect anything when I'm applying to college?
