<p>FRQ=easy except for that one math problem O_o </p>
<p>MCQ= so so....some i didnt know what it was talking about </p>
<p>estimate score= at lowest prob a 3, hoping for a 4</p>
<p>haha yeah that math question…</p>
<p>I just wrote out an equation because my teacher said you could still get points for having an equation even if the math wasn’t right =/</p>
<p>but the FR was super easy and the MC was easy? but I didn’t know a lot of answers like that I sort of just deduced the right answer so idk, I’m not sure what I’ll get but I’m hoping for a 4.</p>
<p>Yeah that math one was tricky and some other parts of other questions. </p>
<p>For multiple choice I didn’t know a lot of that stuff :s</p>
<p>I wasn’t as easy as I expected
The frq some were easy but the math one completely blew me off
Multiple choice was somewhat hard especially the diseases some of them I never even heard of
Expecting a 3 which is a really low score for me</p>
<p>Here’s a list of questions I struggled with…hopefully they will be answered by more knowledgeable cc-ers soon.
-Freshwater problem? They said something along the lines of, agricultural poses the largest problems, what is the second largest? Choices were “urban area in place with limited precipitation”, “urban runoff into estuarine waterway”, “acid precipitation”, and I forget the rest.
-The EM spectrum on the Earth is mostly what? Either visible or infrared, I think.
-What two factors determine how fast a landfill decomposes (something like that)? Aeration and moisture?</p>
<p>For these next two I was 50-50 between two choices:
-Something about what ESA entails/is. “Only applicable to federal lands”, or “based on biological data”.
-Integrated Pest Management: using “a variety of techniques” or “eliminating synthetic and inorganic pesticides.” Wikipedia gives both answers -<em>- ([Integrated pest management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“Integration - Wikipedia”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated</a></em>pest_management#Principles) and “It is an ecological approach with a main goal of significantly reducing or eliminating the use of pesticides while at the same time managing pest populations at an acceptable level.”)</p>
<p>Enviro MC= more difficult than past years, I’d say
Enviro FRQs= really easy besides the math</p>
<p>I though it was pretty fair. I thought the multiple choice was fair. I hope I did well on that. Questions 1 and 4 were were super easy on the frq but questions 2 and 3 made me laugh they were so hard. Although the math one was way harder. I just wrote 1 as the answer hahah.</p>
<p>i self studied this one and originally thought the MC would be moderately easy since I had been doing well on previous years’ MCs and all of my practice books’ tests but it was surprisingly difficult. Free Responses were much easier than I had expected, math tripped me up for a moment but after rereading the question, I understood it.
Only problem for me was part a on the math question about CO2 on pH levels, I understood that CO2 when introduced with water would form an acid, but am concerned with my phrasing.
I overcrammed for MC and still ended up missing things but even though I didn’t study for free-response at all, I feel confident in my answers.
I’m expecting a 4, possibly a 3 mainly due to Multiple Choice.
Any ideas on a possible curve for MC?</p>
<p>Math FRQ was rough… I left one whole part blank. 
DBQ and the other 2 FRQs were smooth sailing.</p>
<p>MC was difficult. There was a lot of big words I hadn’t seen before. Hoping for a 4.</p>
<p>can anyone explain how to do the math questions?</p>
<p>I thought the MC was alright. I did four practice tests and got 60-65 out of 100 on all of them, and I was concentrating a lot harder on the real test so hopefully I did about the same, if not a little better. I’d be fine with a 4.</p>
<p>FRQ, eh. My teacher insisted there’d be a question about the parts of a nuclear reactor so I studied that really intensely and of course there was nothing. The math part was the hardest question for me; I managed to scrape up some answers for all three parts but who knows if I was even on the right track. Eh. I also wasn’t sure about why CO2 would decrease pH (I wrote that it added more acidity but I don’t know if that was just restating the question) or how to repair salinization.</p>
<p>Felt pretty good about FRQ. MC was a little harder, also there were only 20 matching vs the 30 matching in PR book. I think I could have gotten a 5, no way I did lower than 4.</p>
<p>Hmm do the graders know/accept calculus?</p>
<p>I honestly thought the MC was quite difficult. I don’t even think some big parts of the course were even included on that test. Very specific topic-wise on the MC in my opinion. Everyone taking the test with me said they thought the essays were horrible and I thought they were fairly easy. I kinda went out on a limb for one part of the DBQ and botched the last part of question 4 because I talked about something almost completely irrelevant and it only hit me after I handed it in. I thought the math FRQ was easy, but the one population math problem in the MC was tricky. No one I talked to at my school remembered doubling time for the test so I guess I should feel lucky that I got it.</p>
<p>4 at worst, but hoping for that 5</p>
<p>MC overall was hard I thought. For our final in school we had a past exam MC and 4 frqs, and I got 93 out of 100 on the MC so I was very confident, but I feel as if I may have scored as low as in the 70s on the MC…or even lower. The FRQs were iffy, I got answers for the math parts but i’m pretty sure I did them completelly wrong lol. The others were ok, between 6-10 points on all of them so…yeah, really hoping I got a 5.</p>
<p>Okay, so after reading people’s general opinions on here…I’m really concerned about mine haha xD. I thought the MC were really~ easier (save for maybe ~4 that were 50/50). The FRQ, save for the math one, were easy too. I self-studied, though I didn’t even get half-way through my PR review book. About a 1/5 thru my REA book. However, I did a lot on ucopenaccess.org, so maybe that helped. That and I’m in DE bio this year. In any case, I’m feeling a good solid 4. Side note- I had to laugh at that one MC question…“Common pest control measures include: -inorganic fertilizers -introducing Bt bacteria -leveling fields with a laser” HAHA.</p>
<p>^Nice, I hope you got your 4 or a 5.</p>
<p>Ah, MC as terrible. FR, on the other hand, were unsurprisingly really easy. Hoping for a 5, but I’m feeling a 4. :/</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Agreed! I was hoping for more questions about population growth- not just calculations, but the whole population pyramid stuff and all the info about infant mortality, women’s rights, effective birth control methods… that was the one unit I really understood well. There wasn’t much about freshwater and saltwater systems either (all those terms I memorized like lentic/lotic, abyssal, profundal zone, yadda yadda). Oh, and evolution, too. Genetic drift and natural selection and diversifying/directional/stabilizing. Oh, and parasitism vs mutualism vs commensalism etc.</p>
<p>Haha I feel that I have the opposite opinion on everything:
thought the MC was easy (~85%)
Math part of FRQ wasn’t bad
but I had trouble with the other parts of the FRQ (Avg. 5-7 points)</p>
<p>Crossing my fingers for a five, but a four would be chill.</p>
