<p>Oh dear god. That was ridiculous.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I got around 25-30+ though. Some of those questions just came out of nowhere.</p>
<p>Not familiar with the scoring system but what’s it over?</p>
<p>not supposed to tell</p>
<p>You can tell THAT…</p>
<p>The exam is scored out of 50. The qualifying score last year was 27/50.</p>
<p>Oh, …nice.</p>
<p>Is it like the, SAT or ACT don’t tell policy.</p>
<p>(I never ever obey it …)</p>
<p>Fasinro want to discuss the exam. Everybody has already taken it and i’m curious to have your opinion on a few of the questions </p>
<p>It was hard!!</p>
<p>No, NOT everybody has already taken it. The Open exams continue until next Friday!!</p>
<p>Next Wednesday actually.</p>
<p>haha…Sure!..and was it that hard??? on a scale of 1-10?</p>
<p>(well, after everyone has taken it of course)</p>
<p>Hardness was like a 8.5. lol.</p>
<p>Oh sorry I did not know but if anybody wants to discuss it with me on private message then you may. I thought the hardness was around 8.0 but I wasn’t too sure about a few questions.</p>
<p>lol…8.0-8.5…nice.</p>
<p>just generally what sections did you guys/gals find the hardest. (Genetics, ecology, cell biology etc)</p>
<p>This test was…ridiculous =.=</p>
<p>This was my first year taking it, so all I have for comparison is a 2004 test. And I must say, the 2004 test was a joke.</p>
<p>I read Campbell’s twice: Once in October - November and then again December - January
Currently taking a college intro to bio course. Didn’t touch Raven’s…I didn’t think the open exam would be so hard. How much did you guys study?</p>
<p>Also, do they take points off for guessing o.O??</p>
<p>Rate the test…difficulty , 1-10!</p>

<p>tectoria, those links don’t do anything but ask for my info… and where does the pw go?</p>
<p>oh you have to first put in some info (can be fake info) and then it’ll let you download the file. The password is the password to open the pdf file after you have downloaded it.</p>
