<p>Are we allowed to talk about the specific questions or do we have to wait for a little bit?</p>
<p>Overall, the difficulty was on par with what I was expecting. And.. plants are my friends =) What'd you all think? And how generous do you think the curves will be?</p>
<p>It was pretty easy in the beginning. I just hate the application/ experiment type questions, they take up so much time. Some of the questions later actually got much harder. I skipped like 6 questions. Is that really bad?</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree.. the beginning boosted my confidence but all the charts took a long time to read.. I left around 6 blank as well. Maybe if none of you other CCers took it today, the curve will be -really- generous =)</p>
<p>omg!!
i totally screwed up!! it was filled wif charts!!!! o man... i hope the curve would be lenient...</p>
<p>i left like 4 blanks and guessed on like 15 questions....</p>
<p>we can't discuss ANY questions?</p>
<p>I guess we could, you know, come up with codenames for each of the questions.. </p>
<p>But, for all of you who have taken the exam before or would just happen to know- how many questions can one miss and still score above 750?</p>
<p>i took it 2004, skipped 7 and got like 1 wrong for 760</p>
<p>omitted 1, guessed on a few where I had narrowed it down to 2-3 answers</p>
<p>Hardest part of the test?
Writing the statement in cursive. I completely forgot about having to do that.</p>
<p>did Mendel say anything about Cross over?
and when a somatic cell has 24 chromosomes, how many chromosomes did this get from each parent?</p>
<p>no, mendel said nothing about cross over</p>
<p>12 from each parent.... somatic is a normal body cell... so just 2 haploid combining into a zygote like any other cell</p>
<p>ok i got the first one wrong, but the second right! on the bright side, i got one right...thanx</p>
<p>oh man, i wish i can remember more questions, then ill have a basic idea of what i got and cancel the score if i have too. OH, does any of you know a rough coverting chart of the exam? like the old SAT II biology conversion chart?</p>
<p>Boridi lol I completely agree! Writing in cursive is so tedious uggh</p>
<p>Overall I thought the test was okay. How many can you get wrong to still get an 800?</p>
<p>so i guess, im the only only who messed up! i missed like 4 questions and got like 9 wrong. i hated the charts too brbcya!</p>
<p>I was undecided about taking this exam, and just decided to take it last minute. And now I'm not so sure that was a good idea. The non-experiment questions were pretty easy, but the experiment questions killed. I had no clue what was going on in that bacteria one in M. (And that one about the IAA and plants sucked too, I didn't even do two questions from it because I was taking too much time.) I also left 6 blank, and guessed on a bunch of others. Does anyone know how many you can miss and still get a 700? If I can just get that I think I'll be happy.</p>
<p>When can we start discussing the questions and answers properly? Because I'm dying to know how badly I screwed up, so that I can decide whether I should retake in June or not.</p>
<p>I think we can already....anyone remember any? One of them I was unsure of was the ape/early human question. Does anyone know the answer? I think I put smaller upper jaw but I was unsure.</p>
<p>Wow, I did soooo badly on this test. Ugh, I'm lowering my standards to 750+, hopefully that will come true. I put brain cavity for that. Does anyone remember having sex-linkage as an answer for any of the genetic Qs?</p>
<p>Wow, there were some ****ing hard questions on that test. I'm still reeling from the sheer difficulty. I wound up omitting only one but that doesn't make me feel any better.</p>
