<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>
