How do you guys feel it went?

i'm taking the ap bio test on the retake day (wednesday the 20th). i did great with unit tests throughout the year and scored the highest among my classmates, averaging a score of ~90-93%. i kind of feel like though my teacher would select the easier questions (though still official collegeboard ones) and i'm worried that i might not be able to get as high of a score on the actual exam in part because of that (though i am still partially to blame). i feel like i understand pretty much all of the content. i also do pretty good on khan academy practice tests. but a lot of the times when i'm doing old mcqs and frqs for practice, i don't perform as well. i feel like i really get caught up in the long prompts as i really struggle with reading comprehension and picking up every single detail when reading or i put too much weight into small, unrelated or unnecessary details. i also was never really taught about experimental design or graphing, so those are also some of my weak areas.

i've been following the ap bio penguins 10 days until the exam plan and it's kind of helped but when i do the practice i'm getting like 70-75% max when i combine frq and mcq scores. is there anything i can do to improve my scores? or are there any tips for the questions specifically with the long prompts or about experimental design?

So my teacher had planned that we take our final exam last Thursday and review on Friday to prep for the test (and then obviously take the actual AP exam yesterday). But I had a number of doctor's appointments in another state this past Thursday, Friday, and yesterday so I was excused from my class's test as well as the AP exam (taking it on the retake day May 20th). But my teacher told me TODAY that he wants me to take my final TOMORROW and chat I'm so cooked. And of course I had to go to track practice today too so only just now (5:30pmish) was I able to start studying. Does anyone know of any YouTube videos under 3 or maybe 4 hours that go through all of the main topics of the AP Bio curriculum? 🙏

I'm presenting my IMP tomorrow and trying to prepare for the OD. I feel like I have solid answers in mind for most questions, except for this one:

"How did you approach and synthesize the differing perspectives in order to reach a conclusion?"

I feel so lost I am not sure what this question is asking nor how I'm supposed to answer it. Does anyone have any sample examples or anything?
