AP Exams - "shit i fuckin bombed that frq holy shit"

[Jo The Shmo]

I'm wasting money taking the physics c exam tomorrow

I mean I'm relatively confident I can get a 5, but it turns out that even with a 5 it's highly recommended that I don't try to use the credits at the college I'm going to because the curriculum is very different, so I probably won't end up skipping any physics classes anyway

[PGunnii]

So here's how US Exam went for me:

Multiple choice: Got through the first half for real, then totally ran through to the last 10 questions
DBQ: FUCKING ACED THAT SHIT
1st frq: a paragraph long lmao
2nd frq: 2 paragraphs but with real effort

Reviewing for AP Bio, join me if you like

At this point the only thing im worried about is if theres a question on signal transduction pathways on the FRQ. I know its about calcium concentration and things but I can't really express it any better than that. I guess I'll look it up in the morning because the test is 8 hours away and sleep will help me more than finding that out right now,

[Jo The Shmo]

physics time!

Did anybody else take AP Music Theory? It was good, except everybody had to sight sing one at a time. I was alphabetically lucky, but I finished an hour ago and was only the 4th of 12 to go. They need to fix that next year when the number of kids taking the class doubles.

Aural MC: Aced
Non-Aural MC: There were tricky questions, harder than any practice test I've taken, but I still got a great majority correct
Aural FR: One piece was very complex, but I still managed to get most points out of them
Non-Aural FR: I'm just bad at part writing, but I know candences and chords so I threw those in for some points
Sight-singing: Free points

Sounds like a 5 to me.

And of course there was a Korean pop song on the exam. Except I was expecting a Korean boy band or something.

[Jo The Shmo]

jesus christ those free response questions were nothing like any of the previous years
that was really hard

i thought the mc was fine though, I did end up guessing on a few

[Cyril Connolly]

AP Bio was infinitely easier than I was expecting. I walked in expecting a 3 after having studued for 14 hours sunday, walked out expecting a 5.

I must know what this korean pop song is, gave a fantastic laugh

[Samperson123]

Oh man, I remember these. Feels like it was ages ago even though I just took em last year, and the year before. I remember I got 5s on the calc, stat, comp sci, and both econ tests even though my studying consisted of flipping through my notes just a few minutes before the test started. My friends were so pissed.

[Olinaj]

Titties. the FRQ's on AP Bio were infinitely harder than I had previously thought.

[Elecbullet]

Ain't nobody ever rocked an exam like I just rocked AP Physics B.

I had no idea that an agogic accent was an articulation style. Little questions like that they throw in make me so mad, because I get most of them right so when there's one that God forbid I don't know what this certain term means I lose the points.

[kebab52]

I sat my Advanced Higher chemistry exam today, I think that's equivalent to AP courses. Anyway, I don't think it went well.

Fuck reactions of halogenoalkanes.

[zzzz]

I have a feeling i'm going to do bad on AP english comp because my fucking teacher is an enormous jackass, I've only made a 90 average in the class for the year whilst my friends with the nicer teacher have made 95-98s, and I haven't been taught jack shit about essay writing. In fact I'd be willing to say that my teacher has actually made me dumber than I was before I took the course.

My other AP exams will be cake, if AP Euro and AP Calculus and AP Human Geography are anything like AP US History and AP World, I will get a 5

[happyaqueduct]

bleh. knew I got like half of problem 3 wrong on Physics C

rest went well.

[rammaster]

Oh Gawd, the AP Bio test was harder than I thought. I think it had to do with the actual content on the test and what we focused on. We were expecting a ton of Plant/Cell Resp./Evolution questions but it had like none on plants and cell resp and most of it were body systems which was the chapter we didn't go over in class. The FRQs were much better, imo.

I am taking a AP government test tomorrow and a AP Micro Economics test Thursday.

If you are just doing mechanics I can't imagine what could possibly be different in their curriculum, you should still try to skip at least that because it's absolutely terrible.

[Jo The Shmo]

well mcgill is canadian and not based around the ap at all
the physics class that you can skip with a 5 on the ap has a bunch of stuff on waves and some stuff on electricity in it, which I don't know at all
and since physics is so integral to engineering, it'd be pretty stupid to just skip it without understanding and hope that I can still get by as an engineer who hasn't fully learned physics

[editline]15th May 2012[/editline]

also to be honest, I do have a weird knack for physics, but I still don't feel like I truly understand it just after my AP class.

my teacher was pretty terrible, one of the review questions we had was about a simple pendulum with a period of 2 seconds, and you had to see which answer was closest to the length of the pendulum (it was 1m)
instead of telling us to use period = 2*pi*(l/g)^(1/2), he just said "well you should know that a simple pendulum of period 2s will be 1m.... just memorize that...."
among many other really bad teaching techniques

after the BC calculus exam, not only did I feel really confident that I understood the material, but I realized how well my teacher prepared us, and how great it will be to be able to skip as much calculus as possible in college
I just don't feel the same way about physics

[DeathDoom]

Just had a 6 hour AP Government study session at school with the rest of my class and all I can say is that I'm ready for this shit.

5, here I come!

[Agent766]

I dropped AP Bio after the first semester, but I'm still taking AP Calc AB, AP Lit Comp, AP Physics B, AP Comp Sci, and I missed the deadline to sign up for tests. FML.

[editline]14th May 2012[/editline]

I did plan on retaking the classes in college anyway. I've heard too many horror stories of how students would take an AP class, get a good enough score, skip to the next class for a semester, get completely overwhelmed, and end up taking the class they skipped again second semester.

Basically they end up getting nowhere and wasting an entire semester.

[Galago]

Yeah I'm hoping for a 3 on that bio test. There's just too much shit to know. I might do alright on gov tomorrow, and I'm expecting to do well on econ thursday.

[LoneWolf_Recon]

AP Physics B was quite exhausting, thank god for the 10 min break between the Multiple choice and the FRQs.. I think I did pretty well though, atleast a 3, possibly a 4.

[solid_jake]

AP English tomorrow.

I'm certain I can do well, but my anxiety is eating me up

I'm not even thinking about it

[Ast_risk]

There is no way to study for AP English.

I'm just looking at some news articles to see if I can match any up with the prompts when I see them

[Toasted Lemon]

AP Human Geography test this Friday.
I'm scared piss-less and I'm wondering how bad they actually are.

[ScoutKing]

[QUOTE=Ast_risk;35972347]There is no way to study for AP English.[/QUOTE]

Know your terms? (technical names for rhetorical strategies/structure)
But yeah, pretty much studying for that test is a yearly process of just learning to write good essays in a short time period.
