This is the hardest AP bio class at SHS. It is also the one that will prepare you most for the AP. Mrs. Yoo is really funny, personable, and well-spoken, but her class moves at an extremely quick pace and if you zone out twice you might find you missed half a unit. Personally I'm not a STEM person, so I found her class to be very hard. Her tests are very challenging and if you do well you have to study extensively or just have intuitive knowledge of the subject. If you're a junior who is genuinely interested in bio and willing to put in the work and wants to be very prepared for the AP, take this class. If you're a senior and/or aren't interested in bio (like me) maybe reconsider taking this class with Mrs. Yoo. She is great but it takes a LOT of work to do well
