<p>I just took a practice exam today (Didn’t review much of cliffs… probably 100 pages out of 300-400 because I am rather lazy now) and didn’t do so hot. I got 53/100, which equates to about a 3. For those of you who have taken the exam, how did you score? The reason I am so worried is because I will be a Biological Science major and plan/hope to go onto medical school. However, getting a 53/100 is really disheartening, but it could be due to the fact that I haven’t reviewed all of the material in Cliffs, which is the result of senioritis. So I ask how did other fellow Aggies score. :wink: </p>

<p>I will be taking more practice exams later, haha.</p>

<p>I got a 5 on the exam last year. The only practice tests I took were the ones my teacher made us take and he counted them towards our grade.</p>

<p>why do you even care about AP Bio. You are going to have to retake it in College for premed.</p>

4

<p>Miraculously got a 5.
But yeah, you’ll have to take it again anyway (like I am right now oh please help me I hate this class), and as a science major, you’ll only get 4 units of credit for passing the exam whether you score a 3 or a 5.</p>

<p>A book that really helps in my opinion is 5 steps to a 5.</p>

<p>Really easy to read and gets the main points across. I just read through the the few days before the test and got a 5 no problem.</p>

<p>I scored a 5 last year. Honestly, I didn’t buy a study book, I borrowed one, but I didn’t study much off of that either.</p>

<p>For me, I paid attention and tried hard in class.
I think that helped me out the most.
Good luck!</p>

<p>Cliffnotes is the best book! And don’t worry, it’s not terrible at this point to get a 3. If you go back and check all of your weakpoints, and then do a thorough once-over of the whole book again, you’re pretty much guaranteed to use a 5. I read Cliffnotes in its entirety twice, and memorized it, and got a 5 (admittedly, it might’ve been a bit excessive, but that was my first AP and it was in sophomore year) :3 Don’t forget to skim the labs!</p>

<p>When if you do get a good you’re only going to be getting credit for Biological Sciences 10. for premed you will need Biological Sciences 2A-2B-2C series. Getting credit for this test is pretty much pointless unless you’re using it to fill in extra units needed to graduate. I think on the UC Davis AP score website getting a 3, 4, or 5 will still give you the same credit for the course.</p>

<p>Everyone: Thank you for your support and words of encouragement.</p>

<p>I checked my AP scores yesterday on my Davis myadmission page, and noticed I got a 5. :D</p>

<p>Thanks once again to all those who encouraged me to pull through!</p>
