AP Biology 2011 Official Thread

<p>YEEEEAH! TEST DONE!
holy *<em>**. Much easier than CliffsNotes. If I counted my MC (7 </em> IS THIS and 11 50/50s for a total of probable 18, some of those right and some of the ones in confident in actually wrong, still about 18 wrong) right and my FRQs right (10,10,10,7), then I got 83.2% or something like THAT and that’s a pretty high five! Even if I’m off by 10%, still a five…WOO. much easier than CliffsNotes by FAR. </p>

<p>Only thing that tripped me up for the FRQs was the Water Potential one…still managed to get 6-7 pts on it.</p>

<p>WOO! 3 down, one more to go!! Gov tomorrow and I’m done til US Hist subject test in JUNE. then I can prepare for my Jnr year. WOO! </p>

<p>That makes three probable fives. Unless I’m completely off. Which I could be. RAAARGH happy noW weeeee not gonna speculate bout anything cause I couldn’t change it anyway.</p>

<p>Ha, just came back from the exam.</p>

<p>I did well on everything except the free response. I got so unbelievably ridiculous to the point that for the advantages of asexual reproduction, I said: “One advantage of asexual reproduction is that less energy is required. A lot of energy is required in sexual reproduction - I would know.” I’m expecting a 2 pretty much.</p>

<p>CalvinTBOD - I’m sure you did fine. What you said is better than my friend’s graphic novel interpretations of all her FRQs.</p>

<p>I was extremely happy about the FRQ, however, I think the only one i got wrong was on the intracellular and extracellular digestion, but I was pretty suprised on the difficulty of the exam. I figured it would have been a lot harder.</p>

<p>Edit: do bundle sheath cells have any impact on amount of water lost via transpiration?</p>

<p>haha I made a graphic novel too! </p>

<p>my diagram of golgi looks like a cartoon… :&lt;/p>

<p>SO EASY!! The MC was definetly around 80% and essays at least 7s on all. WOW. I thought it would be very hard. My teacher said to aim for 40-60% on the mc for a 5 lol</p>

<p>Multiple choice was not bad at all. That water potential frq tripped me up a bit though.
Hopefully b.s.ing that last part of that question will get me some points.</p>

<p>All of it was crazy easy</p>

<p>I’m positive I made at least a 4, and I’m hoping (praying!) that I made a 5. </p>

<p>MC went pretty well. I’m probably looking at around an 80-90ish.
FRQ wasn’t too bad; I should probably make at least straight 5s on all of them.</p>

<p>The only question now is how the curve will be. I think it will be harsh, but then again, the relatively easy MC could offset the FRQ, which were as difficult as usual, if you ask me. </p>

<p>Thoughts?</p>

<p>Hew! I was really scared about the exam, but much easier than I thought! I enjoyed the FRQs except the last one about water potential. This year’s exam is out of many people’s prediction about like increasing importance of Plant section and Classification section.</p>

<p>The kids came out of my class flabbergasted as to how easy the exam was. I came out of my class flabbergasted as to how harsh the grading curve is going to be :P</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Well the second and third FRQ I think I did great. The first question I said “If you’re nice you’ll give me points for this essay (or lack thereof). I’ll draw a picture of a cat to nicen up your mood.” And the fourth question was just a bunch of cats. :P</p>

<p>Calvin, I feel you. I think I screwed up in the AP exam… it’s gonna be a really nervewrecking 2 months for me… I feel like the MC was easy but I think I still failed it. And as for the FRQ’s, I probably bombed those too. I answered one part on the 2nd question, and I skipped a little on the rest. I didn’t get that the bundle sheath cells effect transpiration… I definitely got a 2.</p>

<p>I seriously hope I still get a 4… because I thought I had done okay, but if everyone did well…</p>

<p>However, I’m sure it’s okay if you didn’t do so well on one of the essays. I thought frq 1 was pretty easy (free points essentially for the last part, which was covered 4 times in honors bio), and know I did worse on the others (namely 2 and 4). I tried. The fact that I was writing down somewhat random vocab probably wasn’t the best idea…</p>

<p>Easy. Way easier than any practice test. FRQ was a joke. I even called the last one at break after Multiple choice.</p>

<p>The curve’s gonna suck something awful, but definitely a really easy test. I anticipate a 5.</p>

<p>I started studying Cliffs yesterday at 8 PM (like I literally JUST opened the book for the FIRST time). Got through a couple chapters by 1 AM. Went to sleep at that point. Never took the AP Course. Expected to fail miserably. BUT it still wasn’t that bad. FRQs weren’t perfect but I’m hoping for atleast a 4. If I get a 5, I will surely be the happiest person in the universe :slight_smile: Got a 5 on Sparknotes AP Biology Practice Exam btw… but that’s not the best indicator ;)</p>

<p>That was much easier than expected, still expecting to get a 4/3 though because I learned practically nothing this year
MC- Easier than I thought it would be
FRQ 1- One of the easiest FRQs I have ever seen
FRQ 2- Ok, my worst of the 4
FRQ 3- One of the easiest FRQs I have ever seen
FRQ 4- Solvable, but messed up on the last part with the formulas.
Still, the curve might change drastically due to this…</p>

<p>To all of you guys who were here last night - I stayed up until 2:13 for nothing! That test was so easy, and had no content whatsoever. But, I must say that I probably didn’t do so hot on the FRQs - they weren’t hard, I just didn’t really pay too much attention to some of those things when I was studying</p>

<p>****! I didn’t think about the curve!!! it’s going to be terrible! Noooooo!</p>
