AP Exams

---

Anyone else writing AP exams? I just finished writing my Calculus AB last week and Biology today.

Did anyone else find that there were way too many questions about plants on the Bio AP exam? I didn't see a single question on the nervous system and there was very little on endocrine or sexual reproduction. Those happen to be what I spent most of my time reviewing >_< Instead, it's mostly stuff on biomes, populations, and stuff I did in my gr. 11 biology class with the emphasis on plant life. I should have put more time into reviewing all that stuff since the only stuff I reviewed from last year was the circulatory system and metabolic pathways of photosynthesis and respiration. I knew I was going to be at somewhat of a disadvantage since I'm only in a regular gr. 12 Bio class and doing the extra stuff on the side (scheduling reasons) but I don't think my teacher realized how much less of an emphasis the regular curriculum has on plants. Bah, I doubt that I'll be getting any better than a 3 out of 5 on it, possibly a 4. I was a few questions away from making it to the end of multiple choice section, and there were questions I wanted to go back and do.

Calculus was not bad though. It would be nice if I got a 5 on it.

I envy all you you people who are writing English Literature or World History and aren't worried about them. I can't imagine writing 3 essays in 2 hrs. I can hardly write 1 in that period of time.

I took the Bio AP test when I was in high school, and it was a bitch. There were like a million questions on biochemical pathways in photosynthesis. I got a 4 on it though. I took AP Caculus and English classes, but was too scared to take the AP test. Im still kicking myself about that.

Ive been done school for 2 weeks :smile: :smile: :smile:

U make me feel sooo old. I've been done for 4 years.

wow took the AP English Comp and US History last week. English is great, I like how i can b.s. it. English we consistently had impossible practice, so aced that, but man, the U.S. I boned up on the Cold War, but there was only one question on George Kennan and the DBQ was the changing role of women in society from the Revolution to the Civil War (yawn). U.S. History is such a crock of shit. Yeah, memorizing everything that ever happened in US History shows aptitude of a college level student.Had i had the balls and a few more supporters, I would've filled in creative names into the Scantron, like: Mike Hawk, Mike Hunt, Haywood Jablome, Dick Hertz, Ben Dover. And then I'd cock the essay booklet, that's right, draw penises all over it. And try to make shapes out of the scantron bubbles.Let's do that next year, who's with me?

AP Rule #1: Whatever you study, won't be on the test. If you study the Gilded Age and various immigration trends, there will be no more than 2 questions on it. In the case of AP English, the stories you read in class will never be featured.
The essays will always be a convolution that you thought you knew and hence failed to study.
