<p>okay so about how many mc ques. can you miss and still get a 5? and then how many points from the free response do you need to keep a 5?
thanks guys this was a brilliant thread. =)</p>
<p>i'm kinda freaking out because i think there are alot of specifics i'm lacking. my teacher taught well on alot of stuff, but then completely ignored other sections. i'm freaking out about the stuff she didn't really go into detail, or didn't even cover at all. i mean come on, yesterday, yes on a saturday, we barely went over for like 10 minutes the steps in embryo development.</p>

Teacher showed us this statistical break down. Of people who got 5s on the AP Bio 85% had a raw score of ~80/120 I think on the old MC. Though this of course assumes if you can score that high on MC, you do know your FRQs.</p>
<p>another question. how specific should you be with the different kingdoms? i mean cliffs is going into great detail, and i'm freaking out because i keep confusing it all.</p>
<p>@gar_spartan - Cliffs isn't really that detailed (although I am quite sure it is too detailed for this exam, as it states)... I think as it says, mainly know the distinguishing characteristics between the phyla/kingdoms... vague I know, but a good start pointing point</p>
<p>Open question to all of you:
Design an experiment to measure the rate of photosynthesis (and no using the DPIP lab)</p>
<p>gar_spartan I'm having the same problem. I think I'm just skipping that chapter and going onto the plants. This book has been pretty good so far, but I'm so nervous. My class didn't prepare me at all. I thought going through Cliffs was going to be a review, but the majority of the details, especially on the processes, I am seeing for the first time. Not good, considering tonight's the last night!</p>
<p>Is it true...that on the FRQ....if you make a mistake, the scorers deduct points?..</p>
<p>no they will not take off points only give you points, it's a great system.</p>
<p>sdong:</p>
<p>can u use the dissolved oxygen lab using resprometers to measure the amounts of oxygen in the water providing a direct correlation to the rate of photosynthesis?(more oxygen, more photosynthesis going on; less oxygen, decrease in photosynthetic activity)</p>
<p>Guys here is what I have seen as I have done some FRQ questions from CB. PUT EVERYTHING related. No matter how distant it is just put it down. Since an above poster said, you can't lose points, you might as well put it down.</p>
<p>Also did we ever find out what that dissolved oxygen question was?</p>
<p>gyros :</p>
<p>lab12 in cliffs if ur using that
it will probably ask u to design an experiment measureing the rates of respiration and primary productivity in water samples. U use resprometers to measure the amount of dissolved oxygen in several bottles and calculate the productivities with the formulas (which will probably be given).</p>
<p>not too complicated</p>
<p>Quick question: If a FRQ asks you to use a formula (for example, the gross productivity formula), should you write your answer in essay (word) form? Or should you just plug in numbers and give an answer?</p>
<p>Will someone please tell me what prometaphase is and what happens during it?</p>
<p>^ kinetochores form and attach to centromeres, so that polar fibers can attach to each chromasome.</p>
<p>I doubt you need to know mitosis beyond interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase</p>
<p>Michael 1 did you miss that sparknotes question or something?^^</p>
<p>^ yes acctually</p>
<p>Yeah I remember that question</p>
<p>I think we might have an essay classification question. i checked the tests from the past 6 years. any1 have any predictions?</p>
<p>my thoughts one on protein synthesis, neural impulses, evolution, and than of course some random lab one.</p>
