Hello all,
I attend an IB school, and I’ve almost finished IB Bio HL. I’m taking the AP bio exam because the college I’ll be attending has a wider threshold for the AP bio credit than the IB. Some differences in the classes are a little tricky… like the test formats. My teacher gave me an AP Bio test prep book from 2005 to help me practice and it says that there is a half point deduction for a wrong answer. Since this was over 10 years ago, I did some online searching about this but couldn’t find anything… does anyone on here who has taken the test know if this is the case? I’m just trying to plan my testing strategy as best as possible, so any clarification would be nice.
Thank you!
