<p>good luck to everyone on the test today :)</p>

<p>I have my test in two hours! I want to get over with it but at th same time do well, good luck</p>

<p>Test in less than 2 hours, best of luck everyone :)</p>

<p>guys, I have a question about the scores. In here [AP</a> Pass - AP Biology Calculator](<a href=“http://appass.com/calculators/biology]AP”>AP Biology Test Score Calculator - AP Pass) it says that the minimal points number for a 5 is 95. Does that change from year to year or is the 95 a fixed point? I mean like can it change this year and the minimal for a 5 would be 110? :/</p>

<p>Hope you guys all did well. We are having a post test celebration in the chat room

<p>be careful talking about the test!</p>

<p>Guys DON’T talk about the test right now… People in like California could easily come to this website and see the discussion of topics</p>

<p>What the hell was that…
The MC was fairly easy, apart from a few questions, but the FRQs…
The one thing I didn’t study was an ENTIRE essay on the test. (essay #1 for those that took it in the U.S) The only essay I found to be easy was the one on ecology.
When are we allowed to discuss MC/FRQs?</p>

<p>MC was a little tricky but I think I pulled off at least an 85/100. Only had trouble with about 5, so I add 10 more for error. FRQ was easy except the first one and part of the third one.</p>

<p>MC- At least a 70 (giving myself a lot of room for error)
FRQ- First one…6 or 7? I don’t know a THING about stem cell, but the germ layers was a piece of cake. The second one was a graph, so meh. Minus 2 points for error=8. The third one was okay, at least a 7. The last one: depending on point distribution, 7 or above. All in all, I think I got a 5.</p>

<p>The essay was ridiculous. I left like half of it blank. We didn’t learn essay 1 in my class. HOPE I got a 3</p>

<p>NOT BAD!! </p>

<p>I’m so surprised.</p>

<p>I legit thought that I would bomb the essays going in because of how poorly I would answer the old FRQs on college board. These, though, we’re very straight forward. However, I did have trouble with #3.</p>

<p>Fingers crossed for a 5</p>

<p>The M/c was much better than the practice exam we did in school. FRQ were hard but i think i fudged it ok. As long as I pass!!</p>

<p>frq was pretty tough anyone remember some multiple choice?</p>

<p>MC… Was okay; some I just had no idea, but that’s usual…</p>

<p>FRQ- number 3 =(</p>

<h1>3 frq was kind of iffy, number one shocked some people</h1>

<p>MC weren’t bad, definitely easier than the Practice exam I took in class. The FRQ were sort of hard, particularly sincemy teacher deemed it unneccessary to bother writing one. #1 was hard, I forgot how to do the calculations for #2. #4 was easy, and #3 was medium. All in all not bad. Good chances of a 4 or 5. But the curve will not be nice.</p>

<p>did anybody just calculate the rate by taking slope – isn’t that correct?</p>

<p>Yeah, the curve will blow this year. It was a MUCH easier test than the year’s before</p>

<p>Topicbreeze, I did that, I left the numbers in fraction form though…</p>

<p>I took the international for, and it was HORRIBLE! The mc was tricky, I think that in the worst of cases I got 20 wrong , next th FRQs I think I got perfect score in two, an 8 in one, and the second one it was pure math from chemistry so I think I got a 4 I. That one :frowning: I worked so hard for a 5 but oh well</p>
