October 2010 - Biology E/M

<p>waterbottle, the graph of the epinephrine one showed a sharp spike in blood glucose like three minutes after epinephrine was injected. At the end of the whole graph the blood glucose came back down but was still slightly higher than the fasting state.</p>

<p>the choices were, </p>

<p>epinephrine causes blood glucose to rise above fasting state
epinephrine stimulates release of insulin, can;t remmeber others</p>

<p>For trees, was nutrients really a correct answer? I remember it asking what you could determine just from the data given…</p>

<p>no, but i remember that in the second plot, there were fewer species occupying the same area and the tree that it was talking about grew more. therefore, it was limited by nutrients?</p>

<p>@kuroxramen i think you’re supposed to assume some ubiquitous abiotic factors like existence of animals, sunlight, and nutrients; thats just my two cents though</p>

<p>i think for the epinephrine one i put something like it caused an extended response (C?) i think thats wrong though not sure</p>

<p>What are your ideas/opinions about the curve for this test? Is there a chance that six or seven wrong might still be a 790 or 800 for Biology M? I thought the test was pretty difficult in general.</p>

<p>I think most its gonna go is -3 or -4 for 800; so that probably means around 3 wrong for 800. Seven wrong will usually land you somewhere around 740. Maybe 760 on this test. I know the curve sucks lol</p>

<p>Someone else please confirm this?</p>

<p>sooo anyone have an estimate on how lenient/harsh the curve for the Bio M version will be??</p>

<p>I’m so crossing my fingers for a really really good curve :/</p>

<p>Any ideas what a 700 would be?</p>

<p>btw for the three types of plant tissues, was that in the Ecology section?</p>

<p>probably around 12/13 wrong or -15 raw;</p>

<p>Again, someone please confirm this lol</p>

<p>I felt that the test was quite difficult. What did you guys think?</p>

<p>^^I felt so too. IK barrons is supposed to be much harder but I found it easier…</p>

<p>no it was in the core.</p>

<p>Yeah, same here. Some questions just flat out surprised me - I did not expect some concepts to show up at all.</p>

<p>^ditto like what in the world was that question about the lab with the trees…</p>

<p>dude i really doont know if i should cancel my score
last time i did i couldve gotten 800 -<em>-
but this time i know i wont fosho cause like i got at least 10 wrong -</em>______- but i took the E so maybe that would be more lenient cause i totally BS’d the millerurey & clam stuff. . .</p>

<p>what do you guys think -10 would be for this test?</p>

<p>Well i took M but I looked at E and it looked IMPOSIBLE soooo dont get your hopes too low…</p>

<p>anybody want to guess the E curve? Very weird test…</p>

<p>Hey guys…i have a question…You guys make the curve seem so harsh…
I am not showing off or something.
But last time I took BIO E, i left out about 10-15 ques…nd i guessed for another 10 -15 ques BECAUSE i did not study at all for that test…i was just tryna get the feel of the test…BUT i donno how on earth it turned out to be a 740 for me…
I highly doubt i guessed evertything right…(although seems to be only possibility if the curve is as harsh as you guys put it)…</p>

<p>i messed up taking E… Hopefully the curve is merciful.
Sparknotes curve looks too harsh, does anyone know if Barron’s is more realistic?</p>
