How was AP Biology?

<p>I had no idea on the second FRQ and I hadn't had plant stuff in class since 5th grade, so I don't think I did so well... and the MC was impossible. I'm hoping for a 3. really, really hoping :(</p>

<p>Ah, I thought it was a bit hard.</p>

<p>Um..I left about 3/4 blank. When there were about five minutes left, I had about 20 blank and just went crazy and filled them out to the best of my knowledge. hah
=/</p>

<p>I'm really worried about the FRQ though...</p>

<p>how is easy it to get a mere 10 points on the FRQ? I don't know why I'm freaking out this much...because I wrote a lot (probably much over 10 points) but now I'm doubting myself because I'm afraid that I didn't go in depth enough.</p>

<p>When can we start discussing!!?</p>

<p>Skipped 7, probably missed like 15-20. Screwed up #2 and 2 of the pick 4 option.</p>

<p>We can start discussing 48 hours after the exam... :X</p>

<p>Sandra33162, our proctor never told us to do that. We had to place a stick on the cover (or write the AP number on the cover) but not on every page.</p>

<p>yeah, we did the same thing but my proctor was reading it straight from the proctor's manual...</p>

<p>The thing with putting your number on pages is only if you ask for extra sheets of paper if you use up the sheets in your book.</p>

<p>so i thought it was harder than average... how about you guys? hoping for a gentle curve. totally screwed up the 2nd FRQ.</p>

<p>the mc was ridiculous, i only skipped 4 but i made "educated" guesses on like 15 and i know i got at least 15 wrong</p>

<p>i think i did really well on the frqs tho, i bsd a couple sections of the questions, one on question 2 nd one on question 4 but overall i think those were well.</p>

<p>i think i passedd.......well im hoping =/ was not expecting that at all</p>

<p>Just took it in CA time and came home early - so tired!</p>

<p>I thought it was easier in comparison to the practice tests that I used, although I left like 10 blank. Some of the questions were really weird though..</p>

<p>For essays, I thought it wasn't so bad, since I was able to answer all of them. Only had to BS one part of one, but it required memorization not thinking :P</p>

<p>Did any of your proctors make a really deadly voice about how you're not supposed to discuss the test? Our room started to after and then we all got snapped at into silence..</p>

<p>hmmm... so what is the max number of MCs you can miss in order to get a five?</p>

<p>the FRQs were relatively easy. I knew all of them probably missed one part in like 2 of them.</p>

<p>the MC were def. harder</p>

<p>Ughh...that sucked. I think I'm going to cancel my score.</p>

<p>My S thought it was TERRIBLE! He self-studied and said there was stuff he just never knew. He omitted 3 parts on the FRG.</p>

<p>mc was okay.... matching part was tough and lab part sorta tough.
FRQ wasnt too bad i bsed the part a of #1 but the rest i pretty much knew and semi bs. hope i passed lol</p>

<p>uh oh. i thought it went pretty well, but seeing as everyone thinks it was hard, i probably missed a lot of traps in the multiple choice! i omit 8. originally i had omitted like 15 but i went back and chose and answer for the ones i could eliminate some answers to. on the frq i completely blanked on number 1, which was such a basic topic my scorer is going to be like what a dumby! but for 2 and 3 i was pretty solid, and for number 4 i was okay.</p>

<p>anyway, i think you need 50% for a 3 right? so is like a 75% a 5? ehh</p>

<p>i left 8 mc blank, but i thought they were so much easier than the practice stuff i'd been doing! i was afraid i would open the first page and not recognize anything.. but the free response... lol, i bs'ed almost completely on the second free response. but besides that, i think my essay score might be a little higher than half credit. seriously, what was with the last question!</p>

<p>mc.. i omit 1 and educated-guessed on 20...
frq.. i knew 1,3,4 pretty well.. probably at least an 8 on each question, but a 0 for number 2</p>

<p>Is that enough for a 5?</p>

<p>classof09, I'd say thats a pretty good 5</p>

<p>i just cant wait for the scorer to see my frq number 1. i bs'ed so badly.
but other than the other frq i thought were easy except i didn't know that much information on number 4.</p>

<p>i completely agree on the mc about some of the matching questions. i didnt know a couple of them. but idk overall much easier than expected for me because my teacher gave us a practice test and i didnt like know any of the questions. good thing she did that because i thought this test would be easy, i dont know why, but after that test i studied my ass off.</p>

<p>and i just realized i just posted in this thread, hah wow i guess my brain's tired from studying for the calc ab test and then bio, and now macro econ woohoo!</p>

<p>The MC was not bad, although were many I was unsure of (and I only left 3 blank :( ) but I attributed that to my lack of preparation, not to the actual questions... The FRQs were fine except for #2, I have never in my life come across that term, ever, not in text, review books, my teacher has never mentioned it.
Our test taking was an experience though, there were three blackouts while we were taking it (I was one of the lucky few situated by a window, in a room predominately without), little kids screaming in the hallway outside, subsequent teachers screaming at the little kids to be quiet in the hallway outside, and the absolutely horrible feedback from the announcer. We were were allotted another 30 minutes though (score!) but most people didn't need it because they announced it at almost the end of the exam with many people at their wits end... that includes myself, but now I'm rambling. </p>

<p>All in all, really not that hard if you studied (except that god-awful #2), although I wouldn't doubt I'll get sneak attacked in July. I do expect a four at most a five, at least a three.</p>
