Ap Bio Who Is Freaking Out!?????????
Okay, so I'm practically freaking out, what should I do in the last remaining 12-15 hours!?! (besides relax/procrastinate)

I feel like I am just reading, not absorbing all of the material, hopefully the essay is a easy topic...

any major review topics that are MUST READ NOW?

also what are goals to shoot for a 4/5?

85 MC out of 100 says PR book and essays? 30 pts out of 40????

"85 MC out of 100 says PR book and essays? 30 pts out of 40????"

That would be really safe for a 5.

You could get 70/100 on MC (30 wrong) and 25 pts out of possible 40 on the free response and still get a 5.

This is how the curve works..

Raw score from MC (100 pts possible) x 0.6 = 60 pts max
Each essay = 10 pts max. 4 essays = 40 pts max

61 - 100 = 5
47 - 60 = 4
39 - 46 = 3
30 - 38 = 2
0 - 29 = 1

So the curve is extremely good.

so is it better to guess on 20 (granted that 2 choices bull never works) or leave 20 blank?

is leaving 10-15 blank, and then assuming you get another 20 wrong, a good plan? so lets say you get 60-65 still correct? (good plan for people that want 4-5?)

I don't understand why you would plan to leave "x" number blank..? Just answer / guess on all the questions you can & leave the ones where you can't eliminate ANY of the choices blank....

by x blank i mean the ones i dont get at all, meaning it's like whoa, i can't narrow it down to even 3....and granted there aren't many like that, but i don't wanna risk getting it wrong even though it's only 1/4...am i overanalyzing to much lol

Well yeah, if you can't narrow the choices down then it could be advantageous to leave the question blank...the thing I don't get is how you're planning ahead for how many Qs like that there will be (?)
