<p>I'm just worried with what I got. Did the people with a 5 think it was hard?</p>
<p>Cause Bio is just pure memorization so there were probably a lot of
people who are good at memorization who took it.</p>
<p>You should take information from College Confidential with a grain of salt. Among others, there is a considerable amount of high-achievers here that hardly represent the whole student population.</p>
<p>Personally, when I took AP Bio [and received a 5], I wasn’t expecting it—I felt good about it, but did not want to jinx myself haha :)</p>
<p>There’s no way that I got 5.</p>
<p>^Lies.</p>
<p>If I managed to get a 5, there’s no way in hell you didn’t.</p>
<p>And OP, I thought it was of reasonable difficulty, considering how poorly I prepared for it.</p>
<p>No, trust me. :)</p>
<p>^Did you leave the answer sheet blank?</p>
<p>I’m not going to lie, I came out of the test completely confident that I got a 5, and I did. I personally thought the test was easy, but that’s probably due to the fact that I would read my AP Bio textbook as leisure reading and therefore I knew the information inside and out.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, no, but…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, I think my biggest problem was not knowing the content. 
(Studying biology is not my thing.)</p>
<p>I was definitely prepared, and after the exam, I too felt like it was fairly easy. I would have been surprised if I didn’t get a 5.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Tsk, tsk. CC will be the death of your transcript.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Given my aversion to the sciences in general and the life sciences in particular, biology is not my “thing” either. :)</p>
<p>So many people got a 5 because this is CC.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, it takes and gives. :)</p>
<p>We had 2 weeks before APs started in which our teacher told us to do portfolio drawings and teach ourselves Anatomy and Physiology. Most people in my class were not prepared for a good 30-40% of both the IB and AP exams.</p>
<p>I’ll be thrilled with a 4</p>
<p>I got a 5 unsure if I wad going to pass -.-</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’ll be really happy if I get 3, shocked if I get 4, and ashamed with the College Board if I get 5.</p>
<p>^clever way to put it :-)</p>
<p>it doesn’t really matter for me, anyways. Tufts gives me a Natural sciences credit for my 5 on APES from sophomore year, so it’s all good. It’s basically for pride at this point.</p>
<p>Or shame, as the case may be.</p>
<p>The cutoff for a 5 could have been lower this year. I got a five, and when I finished the test, I wasn’t even sure if I would pass.</p>
<p>I got a 5. Expected it, since I studied like hell for 3 months beforehand.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Those were my exact sentiments - and just look what I got on the exam. </p>
<p>I fully expect the world to fall to pieces if you don’t get a 5.</p>
<p>:) Okay, I’m exaggerating. But still.</p>
