<p>I’d give it around a 8-9 out of 10.</p>
<p>What I put:</p>
<p>a.Zygote-Implantation in Uterus-Blastrula-Gastrulization- 3 Layers
b.CNS-Ectoderm, Notochord
Digestive System-Endoderm</p>
<p>c.Protosome-Hole becomes mouth
Deuterostome-Hole become anus
Difference in Cleaveage
No 3rd one.</p>
<p>d.Stem cells form any type of cell
Can divide unlimited amount of times</p>
<p>Organ creation so body won’t reject the organ.</p>
<p>thanks, i hope 8-9 out of ten too</p>
<p>-integer
you can’t talk about your qs
I can 
mines released on the site and you can check on the link
its open game for all</p>
<p>@B1ackSn0w
I wrote really similar stuff as you, you’ll certainly pull 7 or up.
By the way, nice name :P</p>
<p>lol thanks
likewise :)</p>
<p>it’s funny how they put an embryonic development essay question after not doing so in such a long time. it’s the ONLY thing my class didn’t bother to learn :/</p>
<p>I hate to tell you guys this, but sometimes relying solely on the class can be damaging. My AP Bio class was taught by a first year AP Bio teacher. With that being said, we BARELY covered plants and some ecological stuff. Furthermore, we didn’t even tough anything with animals. No reproduction, no behavior, no systems. Just some tangential material on phyla and their diversity. However, I did well on question 1 because I used Cliffes and some resources on the internet. I feel bad for the other 8 or 9 people in my school who took the exam who probably missed almost every point on question 1 :/</p>
<p>I’d say the only reason I did well on question one is because I kept seeing Protosomes and Deuterostomes come up in Cliffs, and I didn’t know the difference, so I looked it up and made sure I understood it beforehand.</p>
<p>^ I did as well. I actually made it of great importance to remember the acronyms RDI (Radial, Deuterostomes, Indeterminate) and SPD (Spiral, Protostomes, Determinate) because that stuff kept appearing. Lucky for me…</p>
<p>Our teacher didn’t go over the 3 stages, nor anything to do with reproduction. However, her last words to us were: “Make sure you study embryonic development.”</p>
<p>Thank god.</p>
<p>@Blacksnow Your distribution a/b/c/d is probably
3/1/1-2/1-2, so probably a 7
Perhaps a 4 on the first, but i’m expecting a max 3 on each section
2 – it was asking for thinks like notochord pinching off and the anus to mouth details and what not, simply mention the layer is at most 1 point
3: Depends on if you explained them accurately…2 if, 1 if not
4: looks good but you have to include biology words (e.g. totipotent instead of can form any kind of cell)</p>
<p>what did you guys get for the second qs?
I got that the more temp, the more O2 needed</p>
<p>So, what did you guys think of AP Bio? I know the course differs by school but in general how was it? Any advice for someone who’s taking it next year? Which review books to get, what to do over the summer to prep, etc. My school doesn’t give any summer work and I’m an incoming senior who hasn’t taken a Bio class since freshman year.</p>
<p>Study, my friend. </p>
<p>It’s an interesting class with great info, but if you don’t have a set schedule that you follow to keep up with the class, you’ll be playing catch up when it comes to AP exam season.</p>
<p>Welcome, my friend, to AP Biology.</p>
<p>The best advice I can give you is to pay attention in class and do the homework. The first thing you should do however is to buy the Cliffs AP Biology review book, because it has all the information you need to get a 5 on the AP Exam. So over the summer, read just the first chapter of that book (the Biochemistry section). During the school year, read each chapter while you learn it in class, then around March, regardless of where you are in the class, read the whole book again twice, which will bring you to May. This should be an easy 5 if you study and read the Cliffs book. If you have any questions, ask!</p>
<p>@firered I am also taking ap biology next year. Do you think the cliffs book will be accurate next year due to the course change? If so, should I get any other study aids aswell?</p>
<p>It will still be accurate, just make sure to use another resource for the labs.</p>
<p>does anyone have the list of MC questions?</p>
<p>i used the barron’s book but I had the aid of a wonderful biology teacher. Essay #3 about methylation and epigenetic inheritance screwed me up though</p>
<p>oh and what do you guys think is the benefit of cliffs ap? I haven’t even really heard of that book</p>
<p>^ It’s a fantastic review book that covers nearly everything on the test. I studied it the week before the exam and had no trouble. It’s really a life-saver.</p>
