true that AP courses are advance, but bro Pakistan's tests are really weird...its all about memorizing every single thing in the book and then write it on tests...very limited mc questions if any. For those who haven't took APs then its not an easy thing to ace Fsc becuase high school science courses in US don't cover every thing. fsc is almost like college stuff. On top of this in pakistan problems are approached differently. In US they make it easy 4 us with reference tables, scientific calculators and problems are solved in a simple way...ask your parents to tutor you and you will experience this. Remember one more thing when studying....Ap bio focuses more on genetics and process of resipiration sort of things. fsc focuses on body in detail.

It's true that if you take an AP Bio course that follows the AP Bio guidelines, you'll end up learning a lot more than you'll learn from FSc books. I have all the grades 11-12 FSc books and they don't go over every thing in nearly as much detail as most books you'll use if you're taking an AP course, since AP courses tend to use first year college texts.

The thing is though it's possible to score really high on the AP biology test without knowing a lot of detail. One reason is that it has a really big curve.

If you take your AP Bio course seriously and focus on everything your instructor requires (if you have a good/dedicated instructor), you'll have a much better understanding and knowledge base of the concepts than you would having just read FSc books.

Smeer's right guys. One thing to also keep in mind though, is that entry tests will hardly cover anything conceptual. Concept-based learning isn't exactly something a lot of schools stress in Pakistan.

Most questions will ask you for an exact regurgitation of what's in those Fsc books, which may even be an ordered list.

Just to give you an idea of some of the outrageous questions that could be asked, if you look in the old multiple choice question books (available at a lot of book stores) you'll see they go so far as to ask things like, "What is the atmospheric pressure in the city of Murree?"

So yeah, AP concepts, great for knowledge-- not so great for entry tests, unfortunately :-/

i gave just about every single paki medical college admission test.....some seriously and some for kicks........the FSc course maybe easy but the questions they ask you are downright crazy. for example, heres something i found in the Army medical college entry test (bio section)

1. In one of the experiments performed by kohler, a chimp is placed in a cage and fruits are hanging from the ceiling. the keeper has placed different sized boxes inside the cage. after a short period the chimp moves the largest boxes and piles smaller ones on top and then climbs up and grabs the fruits.
i.) how many boxes were there?
ii.) what kind of fruit was hanging from the ceiling?

i mean comon man! what kinda question are these!!! and i assure you the type of fruit wasnt in the book.. it just said fruit hanging from the ceiling. chek for urself in FSc bio 12 page 84!!!

Having checked my FSc. Bio book as well, I fully support taimur's claim, lol. That's a pretty stupid detail to get tested on. Although I would assume the "fruit" for chimps would be a banana . And if you google the experiment real quick, you'll find different images with a different number of boxes so I don't see how they could consider that a valid question.
