About
Getting A+ in the most challenging level of biology in our school and earning a 5 in AP biology exam, I am also a national top 10% scorer in 2023's USABO and a global gold medal winner of 2023's BBO. This is a preparation course for USABO and specializes in animal anatomy & physiology section, which is beyond the scope of AP biology. However, this course would welcome learners at every level.
