<p>I think the questions on the site are usually pretty easy. I tried out the questions for us history and they were easier than the actual test.</p>
<p>My friend took world history. He got a 770 just by reading of those review books (I’m not sure which one). He likes history, so that might be part of the reason, but most of the knowledge comes from there. Remember, because it’s world history, they don’t go into as much detail for the individual topics.</p>
<p>The US History is another story. I heard that it was pretty hard this time around. They seriously need better priorities than cramming so much information. And the US has only been around for 200 or so years!</p>
<p>I am thankful for the lenient curve of Math IIC. Hahaha, compared to bio, that curve is much better. Though the material is prob. trickier…</p>
<p>does world include any american history, and did ur friend take ap global or reg?</p>
<p>Judging by the reactions of all those on this thread, do you think the curve will be similar to the one on sparknotes or harsher?</p>
<p>I’m so indecisive… ugh</p>
<p>This is making me depressed… and anxious. X_x</p>
<p>i am about to flip… this test is crazy.
i mean… who cares about where a grasshopper’s legs are attached to?</p>
<p>anyways… what’s the expected curve for this one?
please tell me asap… gotta know whether or not i really have to cancel.
thanks.
(IM me if you can, that’d be much quicker =P)</p>
<p>Yeah, if anyone is good at predicting curves… PM me too</p>
<p>Actually here’s a better question… </p>
<p>How many actually thought this was hard? </p>
<p>If it’s only ME… then I think I’ll go cancel.</p>
<p>Looking through this thread, I think a lot of people thought it was hard, myself included. It’s not just you…</p>
<p>Question on the one about methods for telling which species are evolutionarily related…it gave a list and you had to pick the one that wouldn’t work. You guys were discussing it a few pages back and the general consensus was that the answer was carbon dating. Anyone want to explain? I put comparative anatomy, because you can’t tell the difference between homologous and analogous structures.</p>
<p>i hope the curve is barrons’ sized, as in 75=800</p>
<p>@silentsailor - homologous structures arise as a result of common ancestry (e.g. bone configuration of mammal arm), but analogous structures arise from similar conditions for evolution (e.g. bird, bat, insect wings). You can tell based on how related the species in question are (KPCOFGS).
Carbon dating makes even less sense, though, since the same layer of rock could contain fossils of various species, but that does not relate them evolutionarywise - the species just lived during the same period.</p>
<p>haha i wonder if any of you guys will get yours graded wrong. i took BIO M in december, got a BIO E score and am still waiting for the real one. its a common error.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember a question about how water moves up a tree? Or was that in one of the practice tests I did…</p>
<p>ooo that WAS a question…
one of the answers was like water had positive and negative attraction or something weird like that… and another was like adhesion and cohesion… what was the answer? None of those were right cuz it was an except question I think.</p>
<p>10 bucks mine gets graded wrong (still waiting for a score investigation from Dec). The question about the tree was an except one, and the wrong choice was that water was a good solvent, since that really does not have anything to do with capillary action.</p>
<p>I got the same answer as you for the water being a solvent.</p>
<p>Yeah… I think I put good solvent for that question too.</p>
<p>So… anyone with a predicted curve?</p>
<p>Yeah… I’d like to know what a 67 equates to…</p>
<p>700? maybe… I am definitely estimating.</p>
