2014 AP Bio Exam Discussion

<p>This thread is for after the exam where we can discuss what we answered for the questions and the FRQs and talk about how horrible the test was. Think you got a 5? :)</p>

<p>It would be immensely helpful to everyone if international testtakers who take it earlier than others due to timezones helped us out a little!! How hard/easy was the test and the FRQs? Any major topics?</p>

<p>Lol did anyone know #1 on the FRQs</p>

<p>@alijasmined Oh my god, I had no idea on #1. I never learned anything relating to that; I probably bombed it.</p>

<p>I made a scattergram lol</p>

<p>I felt that #1 was pretty easy, I made a simple bar graph for part A, but you’ll have to remind me about the other parts if you would like info on those.</p>

<p>If I made a bar graph, and then crossed out the bars and made a line graph, will they even count it</p>

<p>Yea man I think so, it wasn’t a line graph. I did not see any change over time </p>

<p>@FuturePhysician1 Well, I screwed up that question anyway. I should have just stuck with the bar graph.</p>

<p>Yea man but no worries. You still can get 10/10 because there is more than 10 points offered on the long free response.</p>

<p>@doodledork this might sound really strange but I literally did the exact same thing on frq one where I made a bar graph then crossed out and made a line graph also did anyone else have no idea what an sem was ?</p>

<p>Also an sem was used in the guppie question so that’s why I changed from a bar to a line graph </p>

<p>@Kitsyxoxo LOL really? Yeah, that’s exactly why I did that too. I saw the guppie question, and I was like oh I guess that’s what they want. I had NO IDEA what a sem was nor did I ever go over anything relating to trichomes before. #1 was a killer for me.</p>

<p>@FuturePhysician1 I…probably won’t be getting anything near 10/10 on #1 :)) </p>

<p>Did anyone think the MC was particularly easy? Or rather, easier than the released tests?</p>

<p>@alldaboston Yeah, that’s what I thought, too. Usually, I scramble for time, and I end up majorly rushing on the grid-ins, but today I finished with half an hour to spare!</p>

<p>@doodledork‌ haha aight, good to see I wasn’t the only one!</p>

<p>.</p>

<p>i might have gotten a different test cuz it was an international ap bio exam but didnt question 1 explicitly say draw a BAR graph? cuz i hesitated to draw a line graph but i ended up drawing a bar graph after i read the instruction … mine was about an enzyme thing </p>

<p>@pringles97 Yeah, you got a different test then. Mine didn’t explicitly say to draw a bar graph nor did it mention anything about enzymes.</p>

<p>@doodledork do you know why collegeboard only releases the domestic exam frq?
cuz i checked the frq for ap lit after taking the exam and they released only the domestic exam </p>
