![]() Last year (2012), students most frequently chose to write about Heart of Darkness on AP Eng Lit Q3. Same pattern as usual in the AP Eng Lit essays: scores were highest on the "free choice" Q3, and lowest on the poetry analysis Q1.Students performed well on the multiple-choice questions, especially those focused on poetry analysis.Slightly higher % of 3s and 4s and slightly lower % of 1s, 2s, & 5s.College professors attest that AP Biology course & exam are now the gold standard in college-level Biology.I have posted a 6-page summary of the AP Biology exam results on the AP Biology Teacher Community.AP Bio students performed well on Q3 (evaluating fossils of a transitional species) and Q7 (effect of alcohol on urine production). What % of AP Bio students earned 0 pts on these FRQs? Q5 (polypeptides): 45%. FRQs require students to "explain," "describe," "justify" their content knowledge.Multiple-choice: last year, students earned 63% correct on average this year, 61%.The avg score on these was very low: 36%. AP Biology grid-in questions require students to use mathematics to solve biological problems.Most AP Biology students earned enough pts to get a 2,3,4, but very few scored well enough on the grid-ins and free-response to score a 5. ![]() College professors also took the full redesigned AP Biology exam themselves & evaluated each question to set the pts needed for 2,3,4,5. 1,200 college students were administered redesigned AP Biology exam questions this spring their work was scored at the AP Reading. ![]()
