27 Diversity in the Classroom: Equity & Access Rigorous Courses can open the door to Academic Success AP Potential: Free, web-based tool to help schools identify qualified students for AP courses. One of the best standard predictors of academic success at Harvard University is performance on Advanced Placement Examinations. William Fitzsimmons, Dean of Admissions & Financial Aid, Harvard University

28 Expand AP Access and Opportunities Expanding access to more schools is needed, but if every school with an existing AP program focused on finding its own missing students, we could almost entirely eliminate participation gaps.

29 AP Biology Exam Exam organization 2016 Exam Results Student Performance Question & Answer - Chief Reader Report What can you do (science practices) to infer about what you know about Biology Chief Reader on Key to New Exam (2013)

30 AP Exam Organization Section 1: 63 Multiple Choice + 6 Grid-In Questions 90 minutes 50 % of exam weight Section 2: 8 Free Response Questions 2 long free response questions (one is lab based) 6 short free response questions 10 minutes required reading time + 80 minutes response time 50% of exam weight *Practice Exam available for AP Teachers

31 Sample Multiple Choice Question Two flasks with identical medium containing nutrients and glucose are inoculated with yeast cells that are capable of both anaerobic and aerobic respiration. Culture 1 is then sealed to prevent fresh air from reaching the culture; culture 2 is loosely capped to permit air to reach the culture. Both flasks are periodically shaken. Which of the following predicts which culture will contain more yeast cells after one week, and most accurately justifies that prediction? A. Culture 1, because fresh air is toxic to yeast cells and will inhibit their growth B. Culture 1, because fermentation is a more efficient metabolic process than cellular respiration C. Culture 2, because fresh air provides essential nitrogen nutrients to the culture D. Culture 2, because oxidative cellular respiration is a more efficient metabolic process than fermentation

32 Sample Grid-in Questions The data below demonstrates the frequency of tasters and non-tasters in an isolated population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The allele for non-tasters is recessive How many of the tasters in the population are heterozygous for tasting? Tasters Non- Tasters

33 Sample Single Part Question The role of trna in the process of translation was investigated by the addition of trna with attached radioactive leucine to an in vitro translation system that included mrna and ribosomes. The results are shown by the graph. In a short paragraph, describe how this figure justifies the claim that the role of trna is to carry amino acids that are then transferred from the trna to growing polypeptide chains
