I took AP Bio with Mr. Switzer, and my advice would be to get used to how you need to respond to FRQs fast. They don't go away, and you start getting them pretty early in the year. I did fine on them, but if this is one of your first AP classes with FRQs, be prepared. Other than that, actually do the HW. It's not graded, but the students who struggled the most were the ones who didn't take notes before class.
