<p>I thought it would be a lot easier because I was expecting it to be a lot easier than the AP…overall, they were about the same. </p>

<p>I accidentally said that trp is the start codon and not methionone…<em>headdesk</em> I knew that, too! For some reason I was thinking about the trp operon and got all confused. </p>

<p>There was one question…it was like…where are the enzymes for the Calvin cycle most likely to be found? I should’ve just left if blank but for some reason I put mitochondrial membrane 'cause I’m dumb like that.</p>

<p>I’m glad I took molecular…e looked like a *****.</p>

Are you sure? According to cliffs, batesian is the right choice, and C4, not calvin.</p>

463

<p>batesian mimcry = the answer being mimicry</p>

464

<p>ohh, k thanks</p>

465

<p>hey, are we ever going to get the 40 or so questions left?</p>

466

<p>I’d like to get all the questions, but the AP Bio test and the SAT II Bio have pretty much blended in my mind</p>

467

<p>My BIO SAT II memory is all gone now that I’ve taken the AP…</p>

468

<p>I feel lucky.</p>

<p>anyone taking the satii bio on June 3? Its been a year since i took the ap bio course…i got a 4 on it. Wonder what i’ll get on the satii with only 3 weeks of studying…</p>

<p>do ecology and molecular have different curves? which test is easier?</p>

471

<p>Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think they have different curves. As for which is the harder of the two, it depends on what you’re good at and what you’ve covered in school. Personally, my AP Bio Class had only covered half of the material (up 'til evolution) when it was time for me to take the test, which meant we hadn’t covered any of the ecology stuff, so obviously I took molecular. I think the ecology would be easier to self study for though, it seems more reasoning based than molecular</p>

472

<p>Yes. The curve is different. According to the CB book the curve were Raw score>74: 800 for Molecular and Raw Score>73: 800 for ecology. Anything less was <800.
I really think if you can go through the content of the molecular it is easier to score. May be it’s just with me. :D</p>

<p>Does anyone know what the curve was for this test? The May 2013 Test was the exact same as this one and so the curve is probably the same too.</p>
