Also it seems like a lot of you have different responses for the FRQs. I did all but 1 short FRQ and part d of a long one, I had my own way of thinking (ex: I chose Nutrient 2 for bacteria) and I supplied evidence as to why… Will they take a look at my opinion to why I think so and if I prove my point well, I’ll get points? I’m literally so pissed about the grid in … Heavy regret. I’m extremely strong in Hardy Weinberg and calculating rates but I didn’t know for gods sake that grid in was part of the MC time since my class never really touched on grid ins and we barely had any experience. Once I told my friends during the break period, they were like “good luck getting a 5” and I was completely moody during the FRQ section, I was so sad as they whisked away my MC packet that didn’t have Grid Ins on them… Uggghhh
For the lap94 open ended I got the usage of osmolarity confused. I didn’t realize that when you increased solute you also increased osmolarity, I thought it was the opposite. However I explained everything right. Would they consider that contradictory. And for some reason I got 49950 but I just checked and found out that my calculator thinks 10^1 is 100
@j2000bly FRQ
God that test sucks so bad!!! Like I was expecting a high 5 like all the previous years tests that I had obtained (2013, 2014, 2015) but this test was such trash. Like I just want a 4 at this point. god had I taken this class last year or any other, I would have gotten a 5. The frq was so bad the multiple choice was okay. Ugggggh hate life… hate everyone and everything. The questions literally didn’t test biology. I mean here are the topics that were NOT on the exam:
Immune system
Nervous system
Photosynthesis
Cellular Respiration
Mitosis
Plant evolution and adaptations
Lymphatic systems
Hormones such as ADH, oxytocin
Cell signaling
Polarity, water bonding any chem-related bio stuff
Cell differentiation
Tissue osmolarity
Animal evolution
3 domains of life
food web/ food tree
Anything dealing with energy or energy transfer
Any of the labs seriously!!!
i got 49500 because im stupid. i literally hate myself and everything right now fml
its okay guys we still have 2 months to relax until out scores come out
i hate life and i hate myself cuz i should have LOOKED AT THE GODDAMN CLOCK AND PACED MYSELF 
@luckydoggy1234 what i thought, p value, which was like .63, not frequency of dominant phenotype expressed.
@schwinn12 same for me, didnt know the defintion of osmolarity, but explained everything correctly.
i did all those things too Lol, yeah i hope we get a 5!
I got a 83% on our final, which was the 2014 AP Exam Multiple Choice— the cutoff for a 5 last year was 79%.
As i said i also studied like how you did. So it could be likely that you did score well.
I should have read the questions more carefully
I’m getting like a 50% on frq’s
For the cell apoptosis question, was it to control cells from dividing so much? There was another option saying to get rid of infected or old cells or something, and I might have chose the control cells one. I spent literally 4 minutes looking back and forward on that one out of anxiety and in the end I just bubbled in with no looking back. And I definitely agree. This test literally covered 5% of material, I mean I know all of molecular genetics and photosynthesis and cellular respiration, but that was barely on there. It had a more ecology-orientated focus and I found ecology annoying so yay
@latiere yes, thats what I put, and im pretty sure its correct, i remember reading about mitosis checkpoints and it said that cells that do not pass undergo apotsosis.
Were your guy’s long essay question as long? Mine were barely even long.
@latiere i put to control cells from dividing/uncontrolled cell division. Because the other option was ‘to get rid of dead cells’ and that doesn’t make sense because apoptosis kills the cells, so it can’t already be dead. idk if this makes sense im just confusing myself noe
@brixtonshifty86 Awesome. I honestly hope the curve is really huge because from what it looks like, a lot of people agree that this test was heavily orientated to one big idea than rather all of them. I know I definitely lost 6 points from MC because I didn’t even know about Grid-Ins being part of the MC time and there were 5-7 MC that I had no idea what the answers were and I bubbled in randomly. Hoping that my prayers reach the AP Exam God and the random answers I bubbled in were right lol
@j2000bly mine were pretty long, only because i chose to elaborate. i went with the approach that graders wont necessarily mark you down for wrong things unless they compeltely contradict. but u only need short answers and certain phrases to receive the points,b ased on the grading rubrics ive seen.
u guys get that binary type fill in the blank thingy
rip me
@peachypo101 Yeah I’m glad I chose that too-- I was anxious because I thought dead cells could refer to cells that serve no “purpose” or something, and they added the word “infected” but that’s the job of Cytotoxic T-cells so I just went with my gut and did the control cells answer.
Are u guys srsly complaining that all these topics were absent from the test? The way I see it u shud be happy: the test was so easy cheesy cud they failed to ask the important questions. You guys shud be happy not mopey dopey
