<p>I have a few questions about the exam itself. I'm studying from the Barron's book right now.</p>
<p>1.) About how many questions can you get wrong and still get a 5?</p>
<p>2.) Do any not so obvious names show up on the test (besides Watson, Crick, Mendel, etc)? Does the test mention scientists' names at all?</p>
<p>3.) Are there any topics that I can completely skip?</p>
<p>I am also in AP Bio and use the Barron’s book. How many multiple choice you can get wrong depends, based on the score of your free response answers. As a guess I would say get about 80-90% right to have a solid multiple choice score. I dont know about names, but I think that what the people do is much more important. Basically, dont knock yourself out memorizing random names. I would not skip any of the topics in Barrons bercuase it is an AP review book and everything is in there for a reason. They wouldn’t include anything that is irrelevant.</p>
<p>For a 5 you need about 65 percnt or more correct so you’ll be fine if you so decent on both mc and frq or do amazing on one and horrible and the other</p>
<p>if we study barron’s thoroughly enough, should that suffice for the exam do you think?</p>
<p>I’m doing it from Barron’s too. I hope its enough for a 4-5 because the Campell’s textbook is horrible. The 80-90% guess is incorrect, I’m almost sure that around 65% is a 5.</p>
<p>santeria is right. About 60% on the MC and solid scores on the essays would be a passing score. As for the essays, you just have to put whatever you think you know on the subject and move on; you don’t get docked points for wrong answers there. Also, use the Sparknotes Power pack to help study; it has about 300 flashcards in it and I also recommend using Quizlet, which is an online flashcard website where you type in terms and definitions and then you create a set of digital flashcards.</p>
