 . Anyways, has anyone taken this test? Whats it like?And would it be wise to try staying up all night to take this test? Its the first thing in the morning, I'll be done before noon. I think I can tough it out for 12 more hours with some red bull(12:00 right now). Or should I just go to bed now and pray for the best? I screwed up a practice exam I took and got a high 3 - It might end up being a 2 with the essays... T___T.    | ||

I took it like 4 years ago and if it hasn't changed then it's not terrible as long as you kept pace with the material somewhat. I can't give you any real advice so far as multiple choice, but for the free response just push every fact you can possibley remember. The sentences don't have to be flowy or rich. In fact, if you intend to finish on time load every sentence with as many facts as you possibly can. If it's relevant, they will have to give you a point for each one. | ||

I am completely screwed on the MC I think (The essays are just beyond repair too  ). On the practice one, I think I missed a massive clump of like 15 questions. Gah... I haven't been keeping up in class. Its the class right before physics so I've just been doing physics homework during class t________t. Procrastination is going to bite me in the back. | ||

AP's aren't a big deal, and if you're a really efficient crammer it is really easy to just pass. Most people that don't pass AP Bio are usually just people not cut out for higher level sciences. It's a lot of information, and if it doesn't interest or stick with you, there isn't that much that can be done. That said, I know more than a few people that took the Cliffs AP bio review book, studied the hell out of that for one week, and got 4's and 5's. Good luck guys. | ||

But this completely blows my mind. I've been worshiping the Cliff's AP book for the past 15 hours, and its still confusing. I don't get what is going on. I mean, I do fine in physics and math and all. But what the hell is this t_T. | ||

the most i've done is stay up all night studying for an exam, sleep two hours after it then stay up all night again writing two papers... then pass out for like 18 hours your body can take it | ||

Hmm, I think the last one was about 60's stuff... civ rights etc. Easy shit, but I didn't study. I think the westerners felt that a war with spain would let them expand to the pacific coast, thus fulfilling manifest destiny. New englanders were against it because of slavery and population drain... My advice is that you goto sleep RIGHT NOW so you're fresh tomorrow. Trust me, if you pull an all nighter, you'll drop dead in the test. It's not too difficult, the most important thing is time management. Doing about 70% on the MC + average on the essays = 4, and with a little luck, you can pull a 5. p.s. does your teacher change your grade depending on what you get on AP test? | ||

And what the hell is an angiosperm.... isn't that part of a male part of a weeds reproductive tract? i don't remember exactly, i took the test some time ago. sucks how you never ent over ecology and the human body. thats basically the entire last half of the book. good luck anyway, you probably did fine. | ||

Well, it doesn't really matter unless your majoring in a field that requires sciences. If you do premedicine or want to major in something like chemical engineering or any other rigorous science class you'll have to retake biology in college anyway because APs aren't the real deal when it comes to "college coursework" material. And if you don't major in these fields and just want credits in science so you can bypass them altogether, there are always interesting alternatives, like Sexuality in Film. It's a porno class. | ||

Essays... got the enzymes... got the chromosomes... got the angiosperms (somewhat, except for the last one about alternations, didn't know we were supposed to mention haploid/diploid, did something totally diff.), that immune system one pwned me hard t_T. Haha, I only did one of em correctly i think, the "self and nonself" one :-p. That MC was hard as shit, some were okay, but others I was like "wtf is this poo poo?" I want a 4 t_T. | ||

Its a different ballgame from finals and midterms, in that you need to attend class, take copious amounts of notes, and study like crazy. Exception is econ, that was ridiculously easy. It worked for euro for some reason , but apparently its not going to work for sciences. I thought I could just cram for a couple hours straight and get my 5, but apparently its a bit harder than that :-/.Ah, I already took it and got the goodnight's sleep (4 hours haha). | ||
