im just wondering if each question from an AP Bio test is scored individually, or if graders see a student’s complete set of responses. also, are there multiple graders checking the response from the same student?
I took the AP test held in China this year in May, but I still worry every day when I wake up whether my FRQ responses align with the official scoring guidelines. Though I know that my answers weren't biologically incorrect, I just think they weren't perfect after I asked AI if my answers were OK.
For example, a question asked me to EXPLAIN why crossing over increases genetic diversity. I wrote "homologous pair of chromosomes exchanges genetic information/material," but AI told me it is better to put down "there is a recombinant, new allele combination", which I totally understand and didn't put down because of time.
Also, there were other questions like that. When asked to write down the characteristics of gametes in nondisjunction, I wrote that the resulting haploid cells have an unequal number of chromosomes, but the best term is "abnormal". There were probably more similar responses like this, though I only listed two here.
