<p>Only 9 hours and 15 minutes before we can break loose and discuss!!!!!</p>

<p>Just a reminder: For those that can't remember what the FRQs were, they will be available on collegeboard as soon as the 48 hours are up.</p>

<p>Just wondering…
why do we discuss and dispute about the FRQ if they post what they graded on after the 48 hrs.?</p>

3

<p>They don’t. They just post the questions.</p>

4

<p>Exactly. So now that the 48 hours are up, does any have any idea what in the world a phylogenic tree or whatever is??</p>

<p>Oh no, my tree was curvy, not rectangulary -_-</p>

<p>I made a line graph for #1… I wish I did a bar, that would make so much mroe sense -_-</p>

7

<p>Ahh shoot. I did the cladogram wrong. Eff, I thought a phylogenetic tree was more like a “family tree” – I didn’t realize it was more like a cladogram :(</p>

<p>Form B Seemed so much harder than the otehr one o-o</p>

<p>Okay, here’s my situation: For one of the problems, I listed homologous structures, but I described analogous structures. Homologous structure is a correct answer but I put the wrong description. Will I still get a point at all for correctly listing it.</p>

<p>My other situation is the same as my first but instead, I listed photosynthesis, which is create and stated that it degraded 18 ATP all together to create by products and glucose in the Calvin Cycle. However, I listed OAA, which is not a product in the Calvin Cycle, as a product…Will I get penalized, even though I got everything else correct but listed OAA by mistake?</p>

<p>Btw, how much do you think each subquestion for number 2 and 3 were worth anyways?</p>

10

<p>They don’t penalize you for mistakes. They can only give you points for correct info…</p>

11

<p>Well…I put correct info…Does that mean I get the points like I do in my situation?</p>
