<p>What the hell were ACT testmakers thinking when they included that last science passage. How the hell is anyone who hasn't done AP Bio supposed to do those problems??? Don't get me wrong, they weren't difficult questions, but considering that most students have like 5 minutes left when they get to that last science passage, all the non AP Bio kids got screwed over. Besides, there wre only two pictures provided and for the first time I think, you actually HAD TO READ the passage before doing these questions. Damn!!!</p>
<p>ARGGGH...</p>
<p>I was all going so well and I thought that I wouldn't need to retake this test but alas..an untimely fate seems to be sealed for me.</p>
<p>Geez, calm down. I'm in AP Bio and knowledge about phospholipid bilayers only helps to an extent because they give you an example of a theory that is incorrect first, before they show you the correct (to our current knowledge) theory. It took me a second to figure out what the first picture was saying... Everyone would have had to read the stuff about the first picture, and phospholipid bilayers were taught in regular biology anyways (which my school has students take our freshman year... I'm not sure how other schools do that).</p>
<p>Besides for me, being in AP bio was a little bit of a disadvantage because it made me overanalyze a lot of things, especially in the section talking about DNA fragmentation and restriction enzymes.</p>
<p>omg that passage was so easy. taking AP Bio= best decision of my ENTIRE life because with all of the passages, we learned everything. it would have really been bad if i was not in this class.</p>
<p>yeah for me it was really omfg for the last TEN problems in science.</p>
<p>It's weird. Mostly people say that science is the most difficult subject, but looking from the looks of my ACT prep book, it has the harshest curve! One wrong often equals 34. Who's ruining the curve?!!!??</p>
<p>laurstar, the new versions of the tests are tried out on a large sample of testers on the October test date. They use that sample to determine the relative difficulty of each test, which then determines the score conversion. Happens that this is done at test centers in Ohio.</p>
