Founded in 1900, the College Board was created to expand access to higher education. Today, the membership association is made up of more than 5,900 of the world’s leading educational institutions and is dedicated to promoting excellence and equity in education. Each year, the College Board helps more than seven million students prepare for a successful transition to college through programs and services in college readiness and college success—including the SAT® and the Advanced Placement Program® . The organization also serves the education community through research and advocacy on behalf of students, educators and schools.  \nFor further [information visit](information visit www.collegeboard.org)[ www.collegeboard.org](information visit www.collegeboard.org).  \nAP Equity and Access Policy  \nThe College Board strongly encourages educators to make equitable access a guiding principle for their AP programs by giving all willing and academically prepared students the opportunity to participate in AP. We encourage the elimination of barriers that restrict access to AP for students from ethnic, racial and socioeconomic groups that have been traditionally underserved. Schools should make every effort to ensure their AP classes reflect the diversity of their student population. The College Board also believes that all students should have access to academically challenging course work before they enroll in AP classes, which can prepare them for AP success. It is only through a commitment to equitable preparation and access that true equity and excellence can be achieved.  \n© 2012 The College Board.

The revised exam will continue to feature multiple-choice and free-response questions; however, a new grid-in question type and short free-response questions will be included.  \nPart I of this publication is the Practice Exam. This will mirror the look and feel of an actual AP Exam, including instructions and sample questions. However, these exam items have never been administered in an operational exam, and, therefore, statistical analysis is not available. The purpose of this section is to provide educators with sample exam questions that accurately reflect the composition/ design of the revised exam and to offer these questions in a way that gives teachers the opportunity to test their students in an exam situation that closely resembles the actual exam administration.  \nPart II is the Notes on the Practice Exam. This section offers detailed explanations of how each question in the practice exam links back to the AP Biology Curriculum Framework (Notes) in order to provide a clear link between curriculum and assessment. It also explains why the correct answer is the correct choice and why the other answers are incorrect (Rationales) .  \nHow AP Courses and Exams Are Developed  \nAP cour","cbCaiuyFOvGHR2fh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuyFOvGHR2fh","pdf",3017264,132,"English","# Introduction\n# I.
