AP Biology is a relatively easy AP class in comparison with many of the AP classes offered at Peters. One bit of advice in this class would be to make sure to complete the reading guide as the chapter progresses, and then review the night before the test with the online assignment.

Mr Antonelli is a fantastic teacher who provides students with an exceptional education in Biology. As far as ease of the class goes, he teaches it in such a way that it is very easy for most students to understand quickly. The only complaint I would have about him would be that he occasionally gets frustrated with some students because they aren't able to grasp basic concepts (they are typically students who don't take many AP classes). Other than that, his tests are very reflective of what he teaches, and minimal review is needed outside of class. Students are well prepared for the AP Exam.
