<p>you’re talking about the wikipedia ap bio page, jzhang
what wiki said:
5 18.3%
4 15.7%
3 16.1%
2 15.3%
1 34.6%.</p>
<p>Nah I’m talking about MARK that gets a 5. Not percentage of people.
For example 18% of the people who write the exam get a 5, but 65% on the test would get someone a five.</p>
<p>thanks sandyatedacookie! i was really concerned there because I was getting like 50/100 on barrons and I was super nervous. And after what I’ve seen just now apparently if you’re in the 60 range you are on your way to a glorious 5.
yeah, i am going to be doing frqs a LOT in these next few weeks.
Also, I wanted to ask you guys are cliffs questions similar to the actual test?</p>
<p>I took the 1994 and 1999 released MC exam; the questions are not really specific. But I looked at the practice test CB released last year, and it was harder than those two released MC. So the test is getting harder?</p>
<p>How have you guys studied plants. Cuz i am having an enormous amount of trouble remembering things.</p>
<p>So, it’s possible to get a 5 by just getting around 65% of the MC questions right.</p>
<p>@ Motivated
Me, too. I just read Cliff’s, and it taught me enough to answer practice MC questions correctly most of the time.</p>
<p>Can anyone give me a website for practice exams? I can only find sparknotes. Thank you!</p>
<p>ajsz go to AP Central.</p>
<p>Damn, I’m so screwed for DNA replication/protein synthesis stuff. I just can’t seem to absorb that information. I’ve taken practice exams but they don’t test specifically on this, just general questions. I hope it’s the same for the real exam. Ugh anyone also having trouble with the chapter on cnidarians, mollusks, rotifer, Platyhelminthes, athropods etc? It’s too much, how in depth do they ask this topic?</p>
<p>Animal phylums are NOT important. BUT you must know which ones have coelom, which are protostome, deuterostome, etc. You have to know bilateral symmetry, what kind of animal each one is (like cnidarians are jelly fish) etc. Very basic.</p>
<p>Does anyone know the importance of knowing about the varieties of fungi, and the characteristics of fungi?</p>
<p>zero.
fungi is not important.
know it has hyphae etc. closely related to animals…</p>
<p>Hey…if you just read cliff notes and take one/two practice exams, could you easily get a 5? I have gotten through about a third of the book reviews…would anyone suggest anything else for further prep? Btw, my teacher hasn’t really taught us much…I have a basic overview of most sections…but not really all of the details…</p>
<p>sitarhero: you just need to known about feeding/moving patterns in fungi.</p>
<p>msmalik: i’ve seen people pull it off, so sure.</p>
<p>What’s the feeding/moving patterns in fungi? I didn’t even know they moved… :(</p>
<p>wait what?! what are feeding/movement patterns.
Trust me Fungi is not important.</p>
<p>^ Exactly, I didn’t know they moved! Maybe they grow in a ring pattern?
I guess feeding is that they absorb nutrients from surroundings.</p>
<p>woops.
nvrmind
i was thinking of something else
but YES, know that they are hetrotrophs,</p>
<p>Hey, anyone know how cliffs practice exams compare to the real thing?</p>
<p>bump same question</p>
<p>Also, does anybody know how the new scoring from last year affects the cutoffs on our tests? Like, how many more points we need for a 5?</p>
