<p>It is def. the peas one</p>

<p>Nixon: well I have the scoring sheet from collegeboard and it says that you have 710.</p>
<p>He didn’t study how plants reproduced. That’s different from genetics. I put that he was the first to use a quantitative approach.</p>
<p>I also put that.</p>
<p>I put quantitative too. Growing pea plants doesn’t have to do with sexual reproduction. Or so I thought.</p>
<p>i’m sorry but for the question with what protein’s aren’t, what were the choices other than template for mRNA? I don’t remember if I read the EXCEPT part… so I want to be sure if I got it wrong.</p>
<p>Also, I agree with hkim on the Mendel question. That’s exactly the reason why I put C, the quantitative reasoning one.</p>
<p>Same answer as canbamiswim.</p>
<p>Yeah, idk, AP Bio MC was a joke in itself but I prepped with Cliffs so that was overkill…but didn’t study for the SAT so a month gap of no bio.</p>
<p>Lol I thought your sn was cannabiswim for like 5 min when I wasn’t wearing my glasses.</p>
<p>For the question about the petri dish that you guys are saying was gravity… Weren’t all the little things growing from the seeds growing in different directions? If gravity was the reason, wouldn’t they all just grow in one direction (down)? I didn’t like any of the answers, thought it’d be either temperature or pH.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember any of the other answer choices for the NaCl question except for use in neurons? I remember considering it but I forget if that’s the one I put down…</p>
<p>I can’t seem to find the answer to the phosphorous cycle one in this thread?</p>
<p>Another answer choice for the NACl one had to do with something about the formation of hemoglobin i believe?..</p>
<p>What did you guys put for the Nail in the Tree one ? I think that question was on the E Section.</p>
<p>Niceboat - It wasn’t in the E section; I put something about a certain part of the tree elongating? I forget the wording. Another answer choice was that the tree grows around punctures</p>

<p>What do you guys think? Is this what the curve for this test usually looks like? Damn. :</p>
<p>Yes to pylades, that is the curve, not -5 or whatever you guys are saying it is.</p>
<p>Being someone coming from a biology classed based on molecular biology and having studied a lot for body systems (which resulted in practically no questions…), I thought this test was significantly tougher than some practice ones I took (including Barrons and the one in the all-inclusive subject test book), mostly because of a bunch of the ecology-based questions in the core (I think). Hopefully the curve will be nicer, like 76 = 800 (especially for the M section takers who are presumably weaker in ecology?), though this is my first time taking Bio so I don’t really know how it works out.</p>
<p>About Mendell, due to his work of peas, he was able to develop the ideas of law of independent assortment, segregation, simple dominance and other stuff</p>
<p>caperi! i udnerstand!!!i studied freaking lot of body systems…</p>
<p>and for that petry dish one, for the first dish, if its gravity, they should have grown upwards…</p>
<p>in the Petri dish, the Petri dishes were on their sides and the plant roots were growing in a downward direction.</p>
<p>and about the curve,… doesn’t SN just have a harsh curve? my bio sat books all have a bigger curve (barron’s has an 8pt curve for E and a 4pt for M)</p>
<p>loldaniel - Really? The official practice test I have has 77 = 800. Princeton has 78, 78 = 800. Barrons has 73, 76, 73, and 76 = 800. I figured those first three were about normal and then the Barrons ones would be reserved for a hard test, which I’m hoping this was.</p>
<p>catcat - Were they actually growing down? I recall all four growing in different directions. Besides, if the petri dishes actually were on their sides, wouldn’t the seeds fall off the dish? Or am I misunderstanding how this is supposed to work…</p>
<p>And the curve, I read that the M curve is usually more generous than the E curve, which makes Barrons’ curve interesting/probably wrong.</p>
