*** Official AP Biology Thread 2012-2013 ***

<p>Your welcome. Someone else posted it initially. They took the link down, but I managed to snag it. I hope you were able to download it so you could keep it. I’m looking for the second edition, which has the new curriculum, if I find that (which no one has posted so far) then I’ll post that.</p>

<p>Will there be an emphasis on animal structures on this year’s ap exam? (systems/body organs)</p>

<p>Could someone post the link to the REA crash course pdf for a couple minutes again?! I missed the download time by a few seconds :(</p>

<p>How do i downlaod the REA book, it says it request permission.</p>

<p>I would really appreciate it if you could reupload the REA book again!</p>

<p>Also, does anyone have the copy of the FRQ on the practice exam for 2013? My teacher only gave us the multiple choice one and I’m not sure what the FRQs will be like at all.</p>

<p>@mattsmats apparently college board is taking out most of the plant and animal structures for this years test, so I’m assuming there won’t much emphasis put on it</p>

<p>Sorry about that, here it is again. I’ll leave it up for a little bit so you can download it. (Top left is download)

<p>AP Bio 2013 full practice exam w/ answers and explanations for the frqs!</p>

<p>thank you!</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone on the exam tomorrow!</p>

<p>I’m going over all the MC questions again very carefully, doing one then checking it, and I realized that on many of the ones where two answers SEEM very similar and cause me the get the answer wrong, one of those answers has a word in there I miss that makes it obviously wrong. For example, on number 31, I couldn’t decide between B and C. A was positive feedback, and D wasn’t endocrine system feedback, it was gene regulation. So I chose C because lack of oxygen is a negative feedback situation. It was B, because I didn’t see it said that causes a DECREASE in the rate of respiration which is obviously wrong. So read the questions and ALL the answers carefully!</p>

<p>Will the majority of the content we need to know for the labs showup on the multiple choice or FRQ portion?</p>

<p>Good luck you guys tomorrow on the exam :slight_smile: … As my Ap biology class we officially named 5/13/13 Dooms Day :D</p>

<p>How are we supposed to do some of the calculations on a basic calculator?? The pH equation involves log which a basic calculator doesn’t have. And how are we supposed to do the exponents when the exponent is a decimal? (Temperature coefficient equation)</p>

<p>guysssss can we start like a skype or tiny shat study group or something?</p>

<p>Are you provided with calculators or should you bring your own 4 function calculator with a square root function?</p>

<p>Are the grid ins worth the same as mc? I guess content review is more important for Frqs?</p>

<p>You don’t need any functions other than +, -, x, /, and sqrt for all the math problems! If you’re going about doing the questions with logs and exponents, that’s not correct :stuck_out_tongue: Bring your own calculator! Not all schools provide one.</p>

<p>Grid-ins are worth the same as MC and content review is definitely more important for the FRQs. It’ll be in that section where you demonstrate knowing some specifics and such.</p>

<p>I don’t really see this being too bad except for maybe the FRQs which could trip you up, you should be able to answer every FRQ in some way (assuming you put in some review to each section).</p>
