AP FAQs

How much math does a student need before taking AP Biology?
Math is a vital part of any science course, but trigonometry and calculus are definitely not mandatory. The following mathematical skills seem to be most helpful in the AP Biology course: algebra and geometry basics, rate and percent calculations, knowledge of scientific notation, basic probability that can be applied to statistical analysis, and knowledge of graphing (setup of axes and plotting of data). -- Carolyn Schofield
