<p>YESSS got the diseases right… wasn’t there one with fish too?</p>

102

<p>Yes. Minamata Diesease. But they listed that above :slight_smile:
Good job on the test though!</p>

103

<p>Redsoxrbest, I got the exact same answers for the math, so at least you have someone to back you up!</p>

<p>I had the opposite impression from most people - I felt the MC was incredibly hard and the free response was incredibly easy.</p>

104

<p>I love it when things just fall into place. I studied one topic the day before: salinization. All the others I knew. I had to guess on 3-5 MCs, but I got 2+ right. Hit every point on every essay. </p>

<p>First self-studied AP. 4 hours total of prep + 2 mocks. Extremely confident that I’ll get a 5. WOOO! 3 left…</p>

105

<p>What were the four FRQ’s questions??</p>

106

<p>can we compare now that the 48 hours are up?</p>

107

<p>^yeah you can</p>

108

<p>No, I didn’t mean am I allowed to?
I meant, like… will people compare with me now?
:slight_smile: Sorry for stalking, but are the people whose schools were closed just taking the make up?</p>

109

<p>yep. but College Board is making every single one of us pay an ADDITIONAL $40 per test even though the circumstances were beyond our control…</p>

110

<p>UGH! that’s absolutely horrible.
College Board, just making their money. Good luck, though.</p>

111

<p>can someone explain #2? when do the answers go up?</p>

112

<p>Yeah, I want to know when they go up.
And I would like an explanation too.</p>

113

<p>So did anyone else think for question #6, that either answer was sustainable given the correct response? I know alot of people had picked sugarcane, but I chose sand tars because its only use is a fuel source, while Sugarcane is a food source as well. You think that’s ok?</p>

114

<p>Don’t tar sands take millions of years to develop, (non-renewable) while sugar can can be grown every year, making sugarcane significantly more sustainable?</p>

115

<p>Yeah, sugarcane was the sustainable one</p>

116

<p>it said justify, so as long as you gave good reasons, either could <em>technically</em> be right.</p>

117

<p>^ojo</p>

<p>I haven’t heard any justifications that would make tar sands more sustainable yet…</p>

118

<p>Self studying went quite well. I felt prepared, especially for the free response! Hopefully a 4!</p>

119

<p>Anybody else taking the late test?</p>

<p>Anyone wants information about the Biology olympiad: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sciences/1144884-official-usabo-2012-discussion-3.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sciences/1144884-official-usabo-2012-discussion-3.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
