<p>I’m really happy 'cos I had (along with the rest of the class) only been doing alright all year. I think maybe 1-2 kids had A’s per quarter; turns out that the class was so rough only to prepare us well for the AP. Those all-nighters don’t seem so bad in retrospect – I got a 5 for sure =D</p>
<p>…uh</p>
<p>congratulations…</p>
<p>…uh</p>
<p>thanks…</p>
<p>all-nighters in high school? wow.</p>
<p>All-nighters?! Already? =.=</p>
<p>Congrats :D. It’s nice to have that feeling of certainty for at least one test.</p>
<p>I remember when I took the AP Bio test a few years ago, I felt I was doomed right after I finished. There was some question about the sexual reproduction of mosses. I wrote some crap about plant anatomy that probably wasn’t true, then wrote a couple of haikus about moss. To my astonishment, I ended up getting a 5. (My friend, who didn’t write anything but drew a picture of two mosses flirting with each other, got a 4.) Long story short: if I deserved a 5, you and your all-nighters damn well do. So good job! :)</p>
<p>That’s awesome!</p>
<p>Why is this in the Cornell forum…?</p>
<p>if you’re pulling all nighters in hs, you will do awesomely at cornell haha i wish that i had pulled all nighters in hs…</p>
<p>i got a pathetic 3 on AP Bio in hs, however my bio teacher misreported my score as a 4 on a recommendation or something, but that was irrelevant, it was just because i got good grades in the class and she liked me, so she assumed that it was better i guess. regardless, i didn’t get the credit. again, should have pulled the all nighters.</p>

<p>Most of my posts are in this forum because I’m in the class of 2011.</p>

<p>The whole class was just an exercise in overpreparation. I’ve talked to kids from other schools who agreed that their AP bio classes were a “joke” – that definitely wasn’t the case at my school. Roughly 90% of the time I spent on homework during a given week was dedicated to biology; the class was like an academic bootcamp. The longest lab report I submitted was 29 pages long – probably average by Cornell standards, I’m sure, but compared to my other high school work, it was a pretty big assignment. </p>
<p>The point is, although we’ve been complaining about the workload all year, our teacher’s “boot-camp” approach really prepared us well for the exam. The class has been brutal, but it’s also been a good way to become familiarized with college-level material.</p>

<p>Spanks! <3</p>
<p>really? i didn’t realize ap bio is so hard in other schools. It’s def a joke in my hs. we not only rarely get hw, when we do, it takes 10 min to finish. we’ve done but 1 lab the entire year, written 0 labs/essays, and we get lots of take home tests (ppl actually kidda really <em>work</em> on them 2gether). and the real ap test wasn’t bad at all - 10 times easier than i thought. this is coming from someone who procrastinated for 8 hrs the night b4 the exam. i’m pretty sure i got a 5.</p>
<p>p.s. why is procrastination good for cornell? i’m an expert in hs, but i was hoping to shape up for college- especially Cornell.</p>
<p>“I developed my diagram with my complete lack of knowledge of what the question covered and teh resulting saddness. I wish I would have spent the 87$ to take this test on hookers and drugs.”</p>
<p>Thats just the explination, you should see the actual diagram. A sure 5 on the test ^.^</p>
<p>that’s because the AP bio exam is a joke, lol. good job though, i guess…</p>
<p>well, good for you, I guess?</p>
<p>JR, you were pulling all nighters in preschool </p>
<p>nerd</p>
<h2>no, u</h2>
<p>
</p>
<p>Actually, that was probably a compliment.</p>
<p>or a joke.</p>
