What we fix
Where AP Biology Points Are Lost
Free-response answers that don't answer the task
"Identify", "describe", "explain" and "justify" each earn points differently.
How tutoring helps:Practise to the College Board's published scoring guidelines.
Experimental design and data
The long FRQs ask students to interpret an experiment, graph data or predict results.
How tutoring helps:Practise graphing by hand and stating claims with evidence.
Handwriting under time pressure
Students used to typing struggle to write six full responses in 90 minutes.
How tutoring helps:Set timed, handwritten FRQ practice.
Calculations
Chi-square, Hardy–Weinberg, water potential and rate questions use the formula sheet.
How tutoring helps:Give each a fixed method.
