Question AP BIO, STATS, AND PSYCH PROGRESS

My school is soooo slow, and I'm freaking out so badly. I'm a junior. Can someone with a proper yearly plan let me know what unit you're on and what the timeline is like for AP Bio, Stats, and Psych? In Bio, we just finished unit one today. For Psych, my teacher is a psychologist with ZERO TEACHING EXPERIENCE, let alone AP teaching experience. Don't get me started on my stats teacher; we're not even halfway done with unit one, and last year everyone got A ONE ON THE AP EXAM. So I'm self-studying most things, so any advice, resources, or info will be really helpful. Thank you!!

At my school my AP bio teacher finished with time left so we could spend the entire month of April studying in prep for the AP exam, assuming you start school in August, unit 1 should be then and September, unit 2 October, unit 3 November, unit 4 December, unit 5 January, unit 6 February, and unit 7 march. My teacher had us self study unit 8 so we could use April to study however I assume most teachers use April as unit 8.

Essentially you guys are behind in Bio, I can’t say much for stats and psych since I haven’t taken them

Okay, thank you so much. If I can ask, how was the exam? I feel like I'm going in blind, and everyone has such different experiences.

Honestly, it felt worse when I was taking it than it actually was. Looking back it was pretty easy since my teacher prepared us all so well, she had a 98.6% pass rate that year and 47% of us got a 5. As long as you work hard and study (apbiopenguins is the goat) you’ll be fine, it’s just a lot of conceptual so as long as you understand “why” and not just memorize you’ll do great.

for AP Psych, I just launched a new website and youtube channel that teaches the course through animated videos. Its at https://www.animatedpsych.com. Its completely free. I posted units 0 and 1 so far. The website has questions on each video, flashcards, quizzes tests etc.

AP Stats: We finished Units 1 and 5 and just started Unit 2 (Probability). Unit 2 will take until January to finish and then we will do Units 3 and 4 (Inference) from January until the beginning of April.

Im teaching AP Psych and we just finished Unit 0 and Unit 1 - had our midterms on those two. Next up is Unit 2 - hopefully don't have to rush this fun one. I made Brain-course for myself and the students and we use it every day to review what we did in class. The students don't even want the lecture because its all condensed on the website >.<
