Fri-Day 1
Bio - took our unit exam on Evolution.
Finished up some of the labs: Peppered Moth Natural Selection, Biochemical Analysis of Evolutionary Relationships among Primates, and Dichotomous Keys.
AP Chem - discussed another Part II exam.
AP Chem Super Saturday!
Congratulations to those who are about to brave a Saturday alarm clock and experienced a REAL current-format AP exam. At least you will know the MINIMUM score that you will achieve in about 72 hours from then. You will also learn about the scoring guideline SCRUTINY and values of the College Board chief AP reader/grader: s/he LOVES detailed setup in any quantitative or qualitative answer. Do NOT expect the reader/grader to assume knowledge FOR you in your answers; write your answers as if you were explaining chem to a 5th grader.
You also will continue to practice time-management and other test skills.
I will go over ANY and all questions on Monday in class. AFTER SCHOOL, I will hold a marathon review session covering all of your questions and also a unit by unit applied course review. You may attend afternoon or night or BOTH.
Tuesday morning at 7AM, come to Room 308 for some last second exam facts, tips, reactions, lab equipment, colors, and bagels. That morning, before the exam, is also the FINAL deadline for any overdue homeworks. No work will be accepted for credit after that time.
Have a studious weekend!
