<p>The introduction of Cliffs says that average mark on 1999 exam's FR sections was only about 3.5 out of 10 per each FR question.
Are FR sections that hard and marked that harshly?
Thanks.</p>
<p>don;t wrry i think you just need to get around a little bit over 50% to get a 4 on the exam =D!</p>
<p>I don't want a 4; I only want a 5. MC is not a big deal, but I'm really worried about the FR section.</p>
<p>Yeah.. Im in the same boat as you are ysk1. </p>
<p>Could anyone please help me out by the free response? thnx</p>
<p>the FRQs on the AP Bio exam are very straightforward. If you can do well on the multiple choice, then you should do well on the FRQs. Other than the one FRQ about lab design/analysis, most are just "describe this" and "explain why/how" questions that require more of what you know and less application.</p>
<p>They also have questions that may require you to design a lab experiment or draw graphs... which sounds kind of scary, but it actually benefits you, because graphs = free points. They'll dish out points if you write a graph on your title, label the axes, etc. </p>
<p>I think most people are more prepared for the essay part than they think they are.</p>
<p>if u do good on th MC ( Like 70%+ after penalties) Then u can pull off a five (Somewhat easily) With only 50% on the FRQ ; Which is quite easy to Pull off if u know how to BS good</p>
<p>In other wordS: IF u do good on MC u (in most cases) do good on the whole test.</p>
<p>Uh Darkhope - my teacher said 50% on the AP Bio exam gets you a 3.</p>
