Hi,
I took my AP Biology exam today and honestly, I don’t feel very good about it. I’ve had a 100 in the class all year and scored well on the mock exams I’ve taken and I can say with confidence that I know the subject really well, but the exam today was just so challenging. My goal was a 4, but I’m curious as to how well you have to do on each section in order to get a 5? I was able to finish the exam today and attempted every point possible for the FRQs, so I’m just curious as to whether or not I could maybe reach my goal of a 4? Thank you!
Did you finish the multiple choice? Did you finish all of the grid ins?
I have been consistantly scoring in the 100s (solid 5s) in mock exams (took around 6), got a 5 on the multiple choice they released from 2013 and the frqs from 2017 (which were surprisingly easier than previous years). This years test was hard, both mc and frqs. Far more questions on topics the curriculum doesnt really revolve around.
But dont worry, this means that the curve is going to be higher than what it would be on a test focused more on the curriculum. I feel like i got a mid to high four, but from the looks of it, I possible could get a 5.
@PerhapsIvy2024 Yes I was able to finish everything, I just am not suuuper confident with the multiple choice. I took the 2014 test and only missed 9 (i consider that good), and for today’s exam I might have missed 15 tops ha… the FRQs were hard but I attempted them all so I mean, I have somewhat of a chance right? My sister only attempted 2 of them in 2017 and still got a 3. Hopefully the curve is generous, and from the looks of it you have a good chance of getting a 5!
Welp, I already didnt do 3 of the gridins because of time restraints. But other than that idk, frqs were weird, and same with the multiple choice. Everything was on things that my class didnt really focus on, as they weren’t stressed in the curriculum has heavily as say photosynthesis or respiration.
Agreed - I wasn’t able to finish the gridins either… FRQs were definitely weird in comparison to past exams. Hoping for a 4 though.
Missed the last gridin. The frq’s weren’t bad but kinda wack. But yeah, this mc was definitely harder than previous years. Hopefully, I got a 5.
What grade are you in if you dont mind answering
I’m in 11th grade (junior in high school)
