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

I guess in general, the people who did well on Q4 did good on the rest of the test and those who did badly did badly on the rest of the test.

Q4 is literally the only FRQ I felt confident about lmao (except for the last two which seemed hella easy but now looking back I’m not sure if they were too basic). Just gonna keep praying :((

same lol @otrastudying. q4 was the single question I felt i completely knew what to do.

Q4 is the one I felt the most comfortable with, so Trevor definitely made me feel better. Just to make sure, what did you guys say for Q4? I said exon splicing and the prokaryote would still be full length, because they don’t use ego exon splicing.

I predict I got a 3, with a slight chance (maybe a 20% chance) I got a 4. The multiple choice was KILLER, and I ran out of time and didn’t even get to answer the grid-ins. I think for 2 grid-ins I BS’ed by skimming the questions and writing a random number, which was honestly pointless. If I do get the 4, it’ll be the FRQ that saved me.

@teiluuuj its splicing out introns not exons. Otherwise I said the same things as you for the most part.

@BOBROSS doesn’t splice mean to join or connect? So it’s exon splicing because they’re joined together?

I hope I didn’t phrase it wrong :confused:

And the cliff notes book says “delete the introns and splice the Exons”

Has anyone gotten AP scores from their college yet? I thought they were supposed to be up today if we sent them there but it looks like no one has processed them yet

@smythe I’ve been hearing minor rumors about a very few amount of people getting scores, but none of it has been confirmed. I’m gonna assume since colleges just received them they need time to process them. They probably won’t be up until Tuesday, and that’s when the first batch of scores are released anyway.

ugh the year I can finally get them early and they’re probably not going to do it smh

I feel the same way :confused: it’s been such torched waiting

UPDATE: some girl tweeted “thank you Irvine for letting me see my ap scores early”

RNA splicing is the removal of introns which then is followed by the joining of the exons.
Heres this
“Introns are noncoding sections of an RNA transcript, or the DNA encoding it, that are spliced out before the RNA molecule is translated into a protein.” from http://www.nature.com/scitable/definition/intron-introns-67
and
“Transcript: As DNA is transcribed into RNA it needs to be edited to remove non-coding regions, or introns, shown in green. This editing process is called splicing, which involves removing the introns, leaving only the yellow, protein-coding regions, called exons.”
from https://www.dnalc.org/resources/3d/rna-splicing.html
@teiluuuj

Yep, many colleges have posted scores. I’m not sure if mine has, or where to look. I don’t feel like Duquesne is the type to post scores :confused:

Ugh I know mine usually posts scores on the student pages but they’re still not there and no one else from my college has seen theirs yet either :frowning:

@Smythe probably because of he holiday. You’ll probably see them on Tuesday, or you can at least call… But it’ll be pointless by then because all the proxies and stuff will enable you to access them anwyay

50% got 0 points on question 8? I thought that was the easiest? I probably missed a key clue which made it seem easy.

@RhinoHS I believe I got question 8 wrong. Apparently the graph doesn’t prove that prolactin increases after excercise… I most likely said the opposite. I guess I went with what I was taught in class instead of closely studying the graph. They were asking whether the graph PROVES prolactin increases, not if prolactin actually does increase.

@teiluuuj If that was what it was trying to say, then I definitely missed some points there haha

No the last one was easy. It was just that there were 2 labels one with exercise after an hour and one without. If u were in a hurry then u prolly didn’t see the difference. But the answer is that prolactin increases with exercise after an hour.
