SAT Subject Test- Biology Thread

<p>:(
What do you think my score will be if I missed around 15 and left 10 blank? That’s…55 - 10(0.25) = raw score right? Hopefully I didn’t miss that many, but never know!</p>

<p>-10 -15 - extra 5 = -30… that’s a 650, makin it rain. (this is from the -5 = 800 curve by the way)</p>

<p>what was a raw score of 69 on the jan one? anyone know?</p>

<p>approximately a 750-760.</p>

<p>this hard is so hard that i have no idea how to do em</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>yeah, it was what would not be considered evidence.</p>

<p>So what was</p>

<p>Number of atoms in reaction (I think it was like photosynthesis or something?)
I remember some of the answers being like 18, 36</p>

<p>In the cliffnotes ap bio review book, the following things are listed as “evidence for evolution” :

  1. paleontology provides fossils that reveal the prehistoric existence of extinct species…
  2. biogeography
  3. embryology
  4. comparative anatomy
  5. molecular biology examines the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of DNA and proteins from different species…</p>

<p>so I think carbon dating is the answer</p>

<p>i think it was respiration. but either way, there are 36 atoms because there are 24 in glucose (6 carbons, 12 hydrogens, and 6 oxygens) and 12 in oxygen (there are 6 molecules of O2)</p>

<p>i can’t for the life of me remember the answer choices to that one, aquamarinee</p>

<p>i will ask my anthropology teacher tomorrow. he will know.</p>

<p>"So what was</p>

<p>Number of atoms in reaction (I think it was like photosynthesis or something?)
I remember some of the answers being like 18, 36"</p>

<p>No, that’s the haploid/diploid question right right? If a haploid cell has 18, diploid has 36. The number of atoms in the rxn was a different question.</p>

<p>Oh god, please let carbon dating be the answer. I can’t really afford to get anymore wrong.</p>

<p>Yeah, me neither. Getting any more wrong would just completely defeat the purpose of my re-take. I don’t exactly need anything below 750 right now…</p>

<p>I think the answer is carbon dating, simply because it cannot tell if two organisms are related…just because they came from the same time era doesn’t mean that they are related.</p>

<p>I know I have AT LEAST 5 wrong right now, and left 7 blank.</p>

<p>“I think the answer is carbon dating, simply because it cannot tell if two organisms are related…just because they came from the same time era doesn’t mean that they are related.”</p>

<p>same. carbon dating AND studying the fossil record would show relationships, but since fossil record was another choice, it makes it seem like you would merely be doing carbon dating…</p>

<p>well, fossil records can show the digression of two evolutionary paths from one single ancestor, and therefore it is not the answer.</p>

<p>it seems that only carbon dating cannot show the relationship between two organisms. Everything else works.</p>

<p>What did you put for the mitotic spindle one? I just want to make sure you guys got the same thing.</p>

<p>“pulls both ways” or something… you’re talking about the one where the scientist cuts it right before it pulls away, right?</p>

<p>Yup, that one.</p>

<p>I got the same thing. Good.</p>

<p>lol i got stupid and put “mitosis requires energy” or something</p>

<p>Scores are out on November 20th. Aaah… I hope the curve is the same as last time! =]</p>
