<p>can someone tell me how the curve works?</p>
<p>Haha…Am I the only one who found it horrible? I stopped studying right after 5 minutes and was like screw it. I regret all the days I slept in bio. Damn. I’ll be LUCKY to get a 3. </p>
<p>The FRQs were better than I thought though. I Bsed part c of on #4 and the one other completely. </p>
<p>Dammmit. I feel dumb. lol</p>
<p>Crazy easy? … I thought the MC was iffy because there were more than 10 questions that I was very unsure of. Like, WTH is a nephron? D: Then again, this IS CC we’re talking about so all you guys probably studied your brains out unlike me. All the blanks I left behind for after the test I just went with my test philosophy: “When in doubt, go with C”. So I did lol.</p>
<p>Skipped the water potential variable labeling. (4C)
Couldn’t name another advantage of asexual reproduction.
Answered poorly on the endosymbiotic relationship question …
And others I can’t remember.</p>
<p>When it asked for different isolation mechanisms that would prevent hibridization, I used mechanical isolation and stated something like: “Mechanical isolation is when two different species are incompatible to mate with one another due to their different genetalia. For instance, the male genetalia of an African elephant and the genetalia of a female bird clearly cannot mate with each other since it is physically impossible.” Lol.</p>
<p>^^^^^^LOL I DID SOMETHING SIMILAR. I said a gorilla would crush an ant…</p>
<p>Well, for me, the mc was not great, but not horrible either. Just better than what I usually see in class (which tends to be complete nonsense almost half the time)</p>
<p>^^ Hahahaha! An ant! I was thinking of going farther than a bird like a flea, but then I pushing it lol. Ant and gorilla, oh boy hahahaa.</p>
<p>wow I guess I wasn’t the only one that did terrible (no offense to you guys) hhaha</p>
<p>The exam was pretty easy.
I definitely got an 80+ on the multiple choice.</p>
<p>probably mixed up the topic with the question number but oh well</p>
<p>FRQ 1- that was pretty easy (digestion one i believe)
FRQ 3- probably the easiest of them all. variation is very simple. by the way the advantages of asexual reproduction are: the fact that you can make a lot of offspring fast, if the environment is very stable and the “parent” is well adapted, the offspring will have high chances of reproductive success, and that you only need 1 parent.
FRQ 2 - for some reaosn i forget what this one was
FRQ 4 - first two parts of transpiration question were easy. I was like *** when i saw the formulas so i just talked about molarity, temperature, and pressure because they were most likely constants.</p>
<p>^^ No offense taken, really. I’ll be lucky to get a 3. It won’t even count as credit for me anyways soooooo there goes my $87 …</p>
<p>I was so happy it was a kidney year. Last year i gave an hour long presentation about kindeys for my anatomy and physiology class, so yeah i lucked out! Hoping for a 5!</p>
<p>The free response were so so. If it said name 3…, I had 2 really good explanations and 1 really bad one</p>
<p>I feel like I studied way too much because the test didn’t seem very specific. I was freaking out over animal phylums last night for not reason.</p>
<p>messup on part a of FRQ 4 did final-intial/intial x 100 instead cause of a similar lab we did with transpiration, but i did really well on part b, I talked about
cuticle-waxy stuff that is lipid so thus hydrophobic and water will be trapped
c3- perform photorestriation, oxygen compete with carbon dixoide due to rubsico fixng both and thus will require the somata to be open longer and thus loses more water
c4- move co2 to the bundle sheath cell away from mesophyll so that rubsico will just fix co2 and thus lose less water
cam- similar but opens for co2 during the night store the co2 as malate acid and perform calvin cycle during the day and lose less h20
i hope i will get at least a 5/10 on this frq
and screwed up on part c- i just put symbol s is solution and water will move from high potential to low potential?</p>
<p>overall test was easy. I think i got about 60 mcq and is expecting a 4
was confused about the hardy weinberg though. When i tried to epxoent .84 and .16 it came out weird and when i tried to square it it came out werid too so have no clue what to do… usually it’s supposed to be number that are .25 .64 and such…</p>
<p>@Cannalopef there still was a decent amount of animal diversity on the test, more than usual.</p>
<p>discuss on the post 2011 ap bio thread</p>
<p>Anyone have an idea of how many multiple choice you need to get correct for a 5? also, how many points do you need on the free response?
I know no one knows for sure, but still any educated guesses?</p>
<p>@twh, [AP</a> Pass - AP Biology Calculator](<a href=“http://appass.com/calculators/biology]AP”>AP Biology Test Score Calculator - AP Pass)</p>
<p>Well I guessed I studied the wrong animal stuff then hahaha</p>
<p>wow…I went into the exam expecting to fail…half of the year I didn’t have my teacher, so all we did really was busy work. I bought 5 steps to a 5. started using it but gave up and decided to focus on AP Chemistry instead. Chem was alright, I made a lot of errors I could have avoided. GOD!!! Blessed us with this easy Bio exam and now i actually think I passed! last year NOBODY passed AP Biology at my school! this year only two of us think we actually passed. the other 14 were fast asleep by the FRQ’s!!! that should help the curve…I can’t stop thanking god for this!!!</p>
<p>I wonder if you get points off for swearing? One of my friends said…</p>
<p>“If an elephant ****ed a deer, then no development would occur. It’s just not possible.”</p>
<p>Do you think she’ll get points off for swearing?</p>
