Q: You were one of five people in the world to get a perfect score in the AP Biology test. What was the secret to your success, and did you expect to get every question correct? <\/p>\n

They made classes fun and eye-opening, and their enthusiasm sparked my interest in science. No, I hadnt anticipated getting every question right. I couldnt believe it when I found out. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
