<p>Okay I took the AP Bio exam and got a 4...which I'm quite shocked about because:</p>

<p>1) I didn't study at all
2) The teacher I had was horrible
3) I took the class and only read the first 3 chapters of the book of like 60-something odd chapters.
4) I got by in class by doing the homework as quickly as I could, like if she said to outline a chapter, I'd just write enough to fill one page
5) I had no clue what half the stuff on the tests was
6) I didn't answer a whole essay question.</p>

<p>So how in the world is that score possible? I was sure I got a 2...at best.</p>

<p>Maybe you were a lucky guesser...Congrats anyway.</p>

3

<p>AP scores cover a wide spectrum of raw scores and getting a 4 really isn't THAT hard for some tests....</p>

<p>A 5 is like 70% correct
A 4 is like 60% correct...so it's possible</p>

<p>still...that's a good score</p>

4

<p>you're really lucky...</p>

<p>sometimes you can bs a test and do really well. but I wouldn't count on it happening a second time.</p>

5

<p>Haha, actually on Bio around a 60-61% is a 5, so a 4 is just barely over half the test right, Not too hard to do if you can do some BSing on the essays and can make educated guesses on multiple choice. Congrats are in order since you managed to get a great score with no work.</p>

<p>AP tests have huge curves...</p>

<p>To the OP - the same thing happened to me last year. Just consider yourself fortunate that most people in the US suck at AP bio.</p>

<p>Wow, you got really lucky then. I also made a 4, and didn't study except for regular tests for class, but I understood almost everything on the test and answered all the essay questions. I'm more of a history person though.</p>

<p>Ahh so the AP Bio exam has a HUGE curve I guess....-shrugs- well I'm not going to complain, I'm happy with my the scores. I probably got a borderline 3/4...lol. I'm just not sure if I should take the introductory biology course in college. Probably should since I know no more about biology than I did before I took the class.</p>

<p>I hate people who are struck with the fortune of dumb luck.</p>

<p>and you know what? I don't care ^_^</p>
