<p>Well, now that APUSH has finished its tyrannical reign over my life, I can finish studying for AP Bio!</p>
<p>I feel weak in cellular energetics. So many molecules and processes and electrons flying all over the place! I should be fine though. According to AP Pass, 80/100 MC and four 5/10 essays is a 5. Woooooooow.</p>
<p>How much do you guys usually score on the MC’s?</p>
<p>@LaCielle
I tend to average around 83% on the MC, this is over 5 practice tests so I’d say I’m good to go.</p>
<p>I will own this exam!
I went over Barron’s THREE times and now i’m going over Cliff’s.
I bet if you do the same, you will surely get a 5 too 
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!</p>
<p>@hum0rMe17: it’s the cliffs ap 5 bio practice exams book. btw, I solved this college board exam, and I git stuck in some stuff (this is the link in case anybody needs it: <a href=“http://www.raleighcharterhs.org/faculty/whames/APBiology/ap%20biology%20practice%20exam.pdf[/url]”>http://www.raleighcharterhs.org/faculty/whames/APBiology/ap%20biology%20practice%20exam.pdf</a> )</p>

<li>Milk kept past the expiration date often spoils,
tastes sour, and develops stringy curds. This
can be explained by which of the following?</li>
</ol>
<p>(A) Fermentation produces ethanol and fibrous by-products.
(C) Bacteria produce lactic acid, which lowers the pH and denatures the milk proteins.
Answer: C</p>
<p>Which of the following organisms possesses both
a system of blood vessels and a digestive tract in
which food travels in only one direction?
(A) Sponges
(B) Flatworms
(C) Annelids
(D) Roundworms
(E) Sea anemones
ANSWER: C. I thought only cnidarians had food traveling in one direction coz they were diploblastic. Annelids are triploblastic? How come?</p>
<p>Allele T codes for the ability to taste
phenylthiocarbamide (PTC), and the gene locus
is identified as TAS2R38. One combination of
3 single nucleotide polymorphisms in noncoding
sequences (SNPs) correlates in humans with the
ability to taste PTC. The restriction site for enzyme X
includes one of the SNPs associated with the ability to
taste PTC.
In the lab, students collect samples of cheek
cells, extract the DNA, and amplify a portion of
the TAS2R38 locus using polymerase chain reaction
(PCR). This, in addition to restriction enzyme analysis
and electrophoresis, will enable a prediction about the
ability of the cell donors to taste PTC.</p>
<ol>
<li>In order to amplify the sequence with part of the
TAS2R38 gene, which of the following would be
the appropriate primers to use?
(A) Primers that complement the telomeric
sequences of the chromosomes
(B) Primers that correspond to the 5’ and 3’ ends
of the sequence near the SNP sites
(C) RNA primers that complement the cDNA of
the sequence of the whole gene
(D) Degenerate DNA primers that will amplify
both wild-type and SNP sequences
(E) DNA primers for the chromosome known to
include the TAS2R38 gene</li>
</ol>
<p>ANSWER: B</p>
<p>Do you guys think anything about the brain (cerebrum/cerebellum will be on the test ? I noticed newer ap exams tend to drop the topic, and cliffs covers the nervous system but not including parts of the brain.</p>
<p>Do the bio AP exams ask the same things over and over each year?
(generally, I mean)</p>
<p>For example, can you pretty much bet on a question asking about glycolysis producing 2 pyruvate molecules?</p>
<p>I am trying to do some practice exams. I did the 2008 and 1999 practice. I was wondering if there are any more official exams from the collegeboard. Otherwise, I guess I can practice on the ones from review books.</p>
<p>There’s a released 2008?</p>
<p>The practice 2008 is MUCH MUCH harder than the actual I think. There is a 2008 PRACTICE and a 2008 ACTUAL exam both released</p>
<p>I’ve heard theres oddly enough a lot of focus on Photosynthesis and Chemistry</p>
<p>Oh really!? Can I have links please? </p>
<p>also, the Barron’s practice tests… Harder or easy?</p>
<p>@wonderer that makes me happy then :p</p>
<p>Barrons are a lot harder and more specific.
2008 exam

<p>wait, can we clear this up? is the 2008 practice exam actually harder? my teacher used it as a final and we all BOMBED it</p>
<p>I would say so, yes. I thought the 2002 (at least I think it was 2002) released exam was easier than the 2008 practice</p>
<p>The one I uploaded was the REAL 2008 exam not the practice so you can compare. The 2008 practice is meant for students to identify their weaknesses, not to show how good you are for the AP. Its basically hard as balls.</p>
<p>thank you jesus!</p>
<p>took me hours to find, wanted to make it easier for you all</p>
<p>So what if I don’t know anything about taxonomy/systems/plants?</p>
<p>@Master Thanks so much!</p>
