AP Biology 2011 Official Thread

<p>^Jealous.
My school used to have a teacher like that. I think almost everyone who took his class passed.
My current teacher started teaching last year and her pass rate was a 20%. Honestly the worst teacher I’ve ever had. </p>

<p>I really hope the Hardy-Weinberg lab is on it. I got that stuff down.</p>

<p>My bio teacher (who claims to be good at predictions) states that mitosis/meiosis is likely.</p>

<p>Just got a 99/119 on the 2002 exam, so that’s good. Hopefully the test tomorrow is more like the 2002/1999 exams than the 1994 test!</p>

<p>so predictions are photosynthesis and mitosis/meiosis?? Wow would that be nice if it were true…</p>

<p>I did well on the 2002 AP BIO MC, but the 2008 test is killing me. So many topics I haven’t covered.</p>

<p>Possibly something with immune response for the homestasis type question?</p>

<p>Are you ready for the big test tomorrow? I hope DNA replication or Protein synthesis will be on FRQs…My fsvorite topics. Anyway:</p>

<p>Good luck to everybody!<br>
Let us terminate and rock and roll!</p>

<p>@Mansu007: PLEASE GOD NO! I’m terrible with those things!</p>

<p>When was the last time there was an evolution frq?</p>

<p>Oh man. immunology would KILL me.</p>

<p>I’m actually feeling a lot better now, I just took the 2008 audit/practice test and got +84 on the mc and 8/9/8/7 on the frqs for a raw score of around 127/150. Did anyone else find the 2008 really easy or am I just getting smarter?</p>

<p>Ok I’ve reviewed everything. Still no where near ready.
How many questions do they have on the diversity of organisms? Theres so many phyla O.o Should I try to memorize them or just briefly look over them and spend my time reviewing bigger topics?</p>

<p>I read somewhere that organism classification/phyla were going to be a bigger part of this year’s test</p>

<p>How much the reproductive system will be on test as prediction? Reproductive System will hurt me…</p>

<p>Just remember the gist of the animal phyla. What I do is use associations to remember the different phyla. For example, arthopoda are insects with exoskeletons, annelida are segmented worms, cnidaria are jellyfish-like organisms, echinodermata are starfish, etc. If you can think of the basic characteristics of one organism within the phyla, then you can generalize characteristics of the phyla as a whole. From my experience, the questions do not go in-depth when they ask about phyla.</p>

<p>Also, be able to distinguish between bryophytes, gymnosperms, and angiosperms.</p>

<p>64/100 on multiple choice… using sparknotes practice exam
anyone know, roughly, what that equals on the 1-5 scale.</p>

<p>well, it depends on your frq score too, but that multiple choice score puts you at a higher 3 or a lower 4</p>

<p>well, it depends (like collegebound said)…if you got two sixes and two 7s on the frqs, then you would technically be at a high 4 or low 5…it really depends. I’m assuming I’m going to do much better on the m.c. than the frq though, so…</p>

<p>can some1 explain independent assortment of chromosomes please</p>

<p>Anyone care to explain muscle contraction? does bozeman have a video of it? I can’t find it.</p>

<p>oh my goddd, can someone please lead me to a faster way of reviewing body systems (heart, digestion, execretory, etc). I’m reading cliffnotes and this chapter is too longgg</p>

<p>Are body systems suspected to be an FRQ?</p>
