<p>el BUMP-o</p>

<p>I forgot to post the link:
<a href="http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/repository/ap08_span_lang_frq.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/repository/ap08_span_lang_frq.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Quiero saber si mis respuestas son correctas. D:</p>

88

<p>

Here's the original article that the questions are based on, by the way:
BBC</a> Mundo | Ciencia y Tecnología | Hipopótamos y osos en peligro</p>

89

<p>For 11 I put "un," and I'm not sure if "el" fits because its one product, not the product.</p>

<p>Are "a" and "algunas" acceptable for 17 and 19 respectively? I doubt "a" would work for 17 but they should accept "algunas" for 19, correct?</p>

90

<p>I pretty much got the same ones, but i missed a few :(</p>

91

<p>Why is it "sus" for #19 and not "las"?</p>

92

<h1>12 can be "y" right?</h1>

93

<p>I said sus too</p>

94

<p>

Most of the time the FRQ can have many answers and the people that grade our exams obviously realize that, so there is not one definite answer for some of them and may consider other answers. I just based the answers from the original article that I found. Also, it can be "sus" because it's their acronym. It literally means "Both appear in the Red List of threatened species published by the 'Union Mundial de Naturaleza', IUCN according to their acronym in English, which includes other 16,000 species of the planet." You could go either way, "IUCN according to the acronym in English."</p>

95

<p>^ nice, thanks :)</p>

96

<p>ehh, the listening, simulated-conversation, long essay, and fill in the blanks w/ out root words sections sucked, imo...</p>

97

<p>Thanks! I'm glad to see that I got ~18/20 right--at least4.5%. Let's just hope those are what I actually put on the test. >_<</p>

<p>Does anyone know what the curve is like generally?</p>

98

<p>@sungchul, same..I'm wondering about the curve. Do you think its still 70%+ is a 5?</p>

99

<p>how much for a pass (3)?</p>

100

<p>laststopforme, for some reason, I wanted to say 70% for a 5 too, but...</p>

<p>20% for listening MC.
30% for reading MC.
5% for fill-ins.
5% for informal writing.
20% for formal writing.
10% for informal speaking.
10% for formal speaking. (Right?)</p>

<p>... judging roughly from this, I want to say I got around 65%, so I hope it's not 70%. >_<</p>
