Once the data is understood you may find that you can answer the questions rather quickly. Because most of the new information is in the shared introduction, you\u2019ll probably notice that the question stems are actually a little shorter than those of the average Stand-Alone. As you navigate through the multiple-choice questions, treat the Data questions in much the same way you would the Stand-Alone questions, with awareness of your strengths and weaknesses and your overall goal of getting more questions correct. If you see a Punnett square and you love heredity, then dive right in. However, if the topic is one that is more likely to induce anxiety than correct answers, then skip it and return after your first pass through the section.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The key to getting through the Data Questions section of the exam is to be able to analyze quickly and draw a conclusion from data presented.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<article  class=\"iconbox iconbox_left_content    avia-builder-el-0  el_before_av_promobox  avia-builder-el-first  \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class=\"iconbox_icon heading-color\" aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue82a' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  ><\/div><div class=\"iconbox_content\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><h3 class='iconbox_content_title  '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >KNOW YOUR EXPERIMENTS<\/h3><\/header><div class='iconbox_content_container  '  itemprop=\"text\"  ><p class=\"p3\">At least one\u2014and most likely several\u2014of the Data Questions will deal with experiments.

If you can make sense of the vertical and horizontal axes, then you can determine what the correct answer is. Granted, very, very few graph questions are this easy, but even so, it\u2019s nice to have a slam-dunk question or two. Therefore, if you see a graph, look at the problem and see if you can answer the question just by knowing how to read a graph. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">That\u2019s all that can be said for the multiple-choice section of the AP Biology exam. Be sure to practice these strategies so that you\u2019ll actually use them on the real test. Once you implement these techniques, your mindset, approach, and score should benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Data questions require a slightly greater initial time investment, but don\u2019t let that intimidate you!
