<p>I know there's like a million of these threads, and yes, I have looked at a lot of them, but I just want to clarify a couple things:</p>

<p>1: The barron's book is wrong, right? The curve on Ecology is harsher than that of Molecular, I believe.
2: If one was to get 5 core questions wrong and get all the ecology questions right, that would be a lower score than if one was to get 5 core questions wrong and get all the molecular questions right. Is this correct?</p>

<p>These two things above I couldn't figure out, so if someone could answer, that'd be great. thanks.</p>

<p>(I am shameless…)</p>

<p>Bump</p>

3

<p>I think the curve on Molecular is larger, but generally most of my peers and friends say to take Ecology because it is “much easier”</p>

4

<p>The differences in the “curve” (which it really isn’t) represents the increased difficulty of the molecular. So, the likelihood that you would get a few molecular items wrong is greater than getting a few ecology questions wrong – because of the differences in the scaling, you would earn the same grade.</p>

5

<p>ok so if I were to get the same number of questions in molecular as ecology wrong, then my score would be higher if I took molecular?</p>

6

<p>Correct. :)</p>

7

<p>and thanks for answering, by the way. :)</p>
