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

[Tinn]

I got 3 AP classes. The one I'm most concerned about is Statistics, mainly because my class never used a practice exam at all and we need to cover one more chapter of our book.

Also its good to remember that you're graded relative to everybody else. Like if everyone bombed a certain FRQ, it wouldn't impact you as much as the other questions and if you got three-fifth of the MC right, it does not equate to a 3 but maybe a 4 or, if they are really difficult, a 5.
Then again, still do your best and be sure not to be on the lower end of the grading spectrum.

[QUOTE=Wealth + Taste;35895128]Anyone take AP Physics B? How bad is it and what is the course load?[/QUOTE]

Honestly, its not that bad. It really depends on the teacher. He may give a ton of practice work but most of it is mathematical and could be done easily.

Finished 2 out of 7 AP exams so far..... Can't wait for this to be over. Calc AB was thankfully pretty easy for me, especially considering I started studying yesterday for it (granted, I spent almost the ENTIRE day going over stuff for it).

I panicked when I realized I solved 50% of the first fr in Comp Sci with 2 lines of code.

Out of curiosity, anybody taking AP Chinese or AP Japanese?
They seem to stick out the most in the AP exam registration booklet.

There wasnt much you needed to write

I took AP History back when I was in high school. I was the only one who passed with flying colors in my school, not even the straight A students did as well as I did.

Was quite proud.

Jesus Christ, were those AP Lit FRQs difficult as fuck for anyone else or was it just me?

[EzioAuditore]

In the Uk, we are also having exams in our Year's 12 and 13 but we operate under A-levels. I've got Media, Sociology and R.E to deal with.

I found the Prose FRQ hard, but the others I think I did well on.

I had to reassure myself that YES, that WAS the answer. I ended up thinking "That's it? The fuck?"

The last one was kind of tricky though.

Yeah. Luckily I had the foresight to study 2D arrays while reviewing for the exam

I'm taking AP US History tomorrow, and I'm nervous as fuck

[spacedooky]

I was really glad that AP Calc AB was as easy as it was, I was tripping major balls the night before. Just Physics C and Lit to go!

[ayejayjay]

AP US History tomorrow. From the practice tests I've been doing the questions are balls easy, but I'm nervous about the essays, as you have to write about specific things.

[thatguyfosho]

My friend Eric and I took AP Euro last year, and we had A's both semesters and generally did great on the tests. We did really well on practice multiple choice tests, and wrote fairly strong essays. So, we were pretty confident going in.

He got a 1, and I got a 3. I still don't understand this.

Anyways, I took the AP Lit Exam and hope to get a 4, and I'm taking the US Exam tomorrow. I hope I can get a 4 on that as well, but it'll probably be a 3. At least taking these exams has revealed I have a terrible studying habit which needs to improve for college.

[Dimly]

My study habits are awful. I never ever study. For APUSH I just started today. I always smash MC get 6/7s on my FRQs and DBQs though so I feel pretty confident.

[rammaster]

Good luck, have fun to everyone taking APUSH tomorrow. Let's teach that AP test who's the most American students around.

We've got to get a 5.... For 'Mericuh

[HazeFyer23]

I have doubts about getting a 5. Maybe a 3 or 4, but not 5.

[Flubadoo]

My school's Calculus AB and BC class has a 100% pass rate. (27/27)

holy shit

[Jo The Shmo]

what counts as pass

[Roll]

[QUOTE=Jo The Shmo;35914935]what counts as pass[/QUOTE]
3 or above I think.

[Grassybat]

I was really scared for the AP Music Theory exam until I saw the scoring for a previous test. A 75/200 was a 3 and the sight singing only counted for 20 points (I think).

[Bootlord]

I'm pretty sure I kicked ass on the APUSH test. There were a few multiple choice problems I wasn't sure about, but the majority of them were pretty easy. Also, the essays were all on what we had focused on in class, so I feel really good about them. I'm thinking a solid 4, and I'm gonna go with cautious optimism for a 5.

The whole test wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. I breezed through the muptiple choice with relative ease, as well as the dbq/free response.

I added some out of the period events on my free response. A few years after wont matter, right?

[thataznkid]

I am pretty sure I did decent on the Ap US History exam this mourning. The only part I screwed up were the 2 FRQs...

Know random facts and ignore the stuff you should know alradey i.e. George Washington, WWI, WWII, Vietnam War, etc.[QUOTE=Mr.Goodcat;35866467]So, for someone that is taking APUSH next year, does anyone have any tips for me?[/QUOTE]

[Jo The Shmo]

of course they got a 100% pass rate, getting a 2 is actually pretty difficult

[Ast_risk]

APUSH was soooooooo easy.
