***AP Biology Thread 2015-2016***

@wormholes Thanks for the encouragement. I should probably study for AP HuG, but after today it was really hard to focus on anything :confused: I really pray I get a 5! Of course, I’ll be praying for you and for all of you on this thread :wink: but all of you are smart so you’d do really good for sure haha

Did you guys know how to figure out the deer population question. I saw something with DN/Dt and thought that maybe we needed to differentiate.

dont think i had that question

@latiere it’s my first exam too! i don’t think i did that well but i can’t do anything about it now so just stay positive :slight_smile:

@brixtonshifty86 When I did that question, it was 3 minutes left on the clock so I just looked at the graph, so there were higher levels of calcitonin when the male did exercise, and a decrease in calcitonin when there was no exercise. It was weird with the T=1 hr or whatever, I just rushed and wrote something so I’d get at least a point out of the 2-3 it was worth. The first 2 questions in FRQ were very time consuming (that’s a given as they’re long FRQs) but imo time was the essential problem for me. I ended up circling so many questions in MC that I had doubted and wanted a better look at after finishing but I never even got to review them. It was as if each time I look at the timer, it lost 10 minutes within a second.

@peachypo101 Can only hope for the best! I’ll try my best to stay positive. You try to be as well :^)

Man i wish someone could explain that stupid deer population question.

And I wish someone can give a rough estimate of the cutoff for a 5 (ideally one that’s lower than the proposed 79%)

This exam really messed with my mind. I took a mock exam of the 2013 version and I showed up late after time started for it and I still had like 10 minutes to spare. But apparently most of the country didn’t finish all the mcq for this years so the curve has to be big…

I hope its lower than 79% i think i got only a 74% mc

I can only dream I got 74%. I had to have gotten at least at 35% it was awful. I literally felt like I was going to throw up during the exam, it’s never been that bad before. @BOBROSS

i think i did alright on the mc. i most likely got below 50% on the FRQ’s. so thats great :frowning:

@peachhypo101 same :’(

And i have no idea what anyone is talking about here because i had version e… are you guys all on the east coast or something?

it makes me so relieved to see that I wasn’t the only one who had some trouble. especially on this site, i thought everyone would be saying it was super easy. cheers :slight_smile:

@latiere just saw the cell apoptosis question. To clarify, it wouldn’t be to destroy infected cells because that is cell lysis not apoptosis therefore you are correct again :slight_smile:

After having read 150+ posts on this thread, I realize that I got way more FRQs wrong than I thought. :((

@luckydoggy1234 do you remember what was correct for the apoptosis question

if i tell you will my score be cancelled LOLOL

Don’t really remember the question but based on @latiere answers it has to be someething along the lines of halting mitosis or meiosis or something
