<p>Is there any chance that any of the grid-ins were experimental? lol 
</p>
<p>lpreston are you me? I did that and I started cursing at myself</p>
<p>saw it last 30 seconds</p>
<p>I think the exam was stupid easy. Like in all honesty, you could answer half of the test just by looking at the diagram/reading what they give you. You could probably get a 2-3 with no knowledge of Biology.</p>
<p>@orcathekilleRâ I didnât find out until I left the exam room and my friends asked me about how I thought the last questions went. I could have cried. I thought the proctor said six questions total, not 2 long response and 6 short answer. Apparently they were very simple tooâŠI was so mad.</p>
<p>@ivyhopes12â I agree the exam was more testing on like critical reading which personally I find stupid because I am pretty sure that a Bio Final exam in college would not be like this. Those one page questions were ridiculous. You had to have no prior bio knowledge which is stupid because there is a reason it is called AP Biology and not the ACT Science Section with a touch of Ecology. I honestly think there was nothing tested. There was no photosynthesis, cellular respiration, energy, biochemistry, macromolecules, NOTHING ON PLANTs or systems or DNA. those are major bio topics like how can College Board go without testing you on those topics, it is just too stupid. Last year the salutatorian of our school who got a 5 on all the other ap exams she took got a 3 on this one. How stupid is that. It made me and everyone in my school mad, it was just so not bio. Ughh done ranting. </p>
<p>@jay1412 Yeah, it was dumb. Like the one FRQ about GMOs or the FRQ about the park complexâs effect on local flora/fauna. I remember looking at these, smiling, and proceeding to think âwow, i didnât know this was environmental science classâ. I liked it tho., I wish more AP tests were just focused on gleaning info. from the question</p>
<p>@lpreston i feel yaâŠI kept flipping pages until i was SURE i saw the stop sign. so sorry </p>
<p>Was the second to last frq and ectotherm or endotherm???</p>
<p>Ectotherm. Though I just put down cold-blooded. A warm-blooded animal would have a crazy respiration rate at low temperatures in order to stay at a constant body temperature.</p>
<p>Not sure, I just said it was an organism that used negative feedback (which would have been endotherm). I left this question until the end though and wrote only 2 or 3 sentences. And I put the line as a straight line constant at 20 but I think itâs wrong.</p>
<p>So what was the line you were supposed to draw for frq7?</p>
<p>@ivyhopes12â I agree. Those two FRQs were just common sense. I felt like it was too simple for a college level class but oh well it was easy and it is over now. </p>
<p>Check out this graph: <a href=âhttp://www.heatstress.info/heatstressinfo/HeatstressinSwine/Influenceofenvironmentaltemperatureon/tabid/2176/Default.aspxâ>http://www.heatstress.info/heatstressinfo/HeatstressinSwine/Influenceofenvironmentaltemperatureon/tabid/2176/Default.aspx</a></p>
<p>wait wasnât the graph for frq7 that we were supposed to draw internal temp vs external temp?</p>
<p>Lol, i think i just drew a straight line (m=about 1? idk)</p>
<p>Guys upon further research I found that one of the 6 grid-ins is also not counted. So I am assuming that 52 MC and 5 grid-ins are counted. I think that according to the exam that is a pretty fair curve/ way of grading it. What do you guys think? </p>
<p>@jay1412â
Evidence that one gird-in wonât be counted? Not doubting you, but that would be greattttttttt</p>

<p>A parabola would fit an endotherm perfectly. A straight line fits an ectotherm better. </p>
<p>Also, would they take points off If I just said âcold-bloodedâ rather than ectotherm?</p>
<p>Just because a grid in on last yearâs test wasnât counted doesnât mean that the same will occur for this yearâs. In fact, Iâd expect to have all 69 graded. Always expect the worst.</p>
<p>@HamCourtâhttp <a href=âAP Biology Exam Data 2013 â Mr. Chinn's Siteâ>http://galileoweb.org/chinnc/ap-biology-08-09/ap-biology-exam-data-2013/</a> It is from the AP Bio teachers site and if you look at the grid in section it only says âout of 5â.
@dopecakeâ As long as I know they cannot change the way an ap exam is graded/ how many questions because that changes the raw score total. But hey you might be right. </p>
