2007 - Physics C Mechanics/Electricity & Magnetism Discussion

<p>Hoping this will be the discussion thread, so just wait, till 24 hours(?)!</p>

<p>but I guess I'll find out anyway later:
So, how'd it go?
I just did Mechanics and I felt the FRQ were a tad-bit on the easy side, but still then again, I've just crammed for the test during last weekend(self-study). </p>

<p>I found the multiple choice to be slightly hard for some questions, but nothing overly hard. I just left one blank.</p>

<p>It's supposed to be 48 hours fyi :).</p>

<p>i only took mechanics today
i left like 4 blank on the MC, but it was a pretty easy set of MC
i couldnt figure out how to do the last parts on 1 and 3 of the frqs
overall i thought it wasnt a hard test but im not sure if i got a 5 and i really really need a 5 on this exam</p>

<p>I left 6 blank on MC, but I think I got some of the easier ones wrong : (
The FR was pretty easy, but I think I screwed up the second one a little bit. I'm DYING to discuss the FR section.
Hoping for a 4.</p>

<p>took mechanics - MC was a bit hard (ran out of time more than anything else), and I thought FR was pretty easy as a whole. I'll discuss more after 48 hours.</p>

<p>left 1 blank on the MC...guessed on about 6-7..probably got another 6-7 wrong
FRQ wasn't too bad. I messed up on 1b, 2a, & 3c. I think 2a was pretty hard.</p>

<p>Overall..it wasn't too bad...I'm hoping for a 4.</p>

<p>I took mechanics, and considering Physics is the worst subject I've ever made the mistake of taking in high school (even calculus is way easier for me, I must be scientifically challenged or something), it wasn't as draining as I thought it was going to be. I still don't think I passed though. If I was lucky, I might have scraped a 3.</p>

<p>I actually think I did pretty well on FRQs, except that the answer to one part of my #2 just seems unreasonable... I'm really worried lol...</p>

<p>Hey, if in doubt for 2(b), one can always look it up online (wink wink)...</p>

<p>Anyway, I thought the MC was fairly simple, while the FR was a little tougher, but still incredibly doable. Doing 3 MCs and 6 Free responses in the last 30 hours seems to have helped a lot!</p>

<p>yeah...i looked it up...and i got the correct power...so i think i probably was in the range of the answer.</p>

<p>lobgent, I did look it up, and I got the wrong power. : /</p>

<p>I thought the MC was easier than I would have expected. I only answer ones I'm sure about, so that was like...24, maybe 2 or so wrong. I felt pressed for time on the FRQ. I think I just freaked out a little, even though I've done tons of previous FRQ, my mind jsut blanked for a while. 4 maybe a 5 depending on the grading. I haven't looked at physics for almost 2 weeks, so I'm sure if I had studied some it would have made things easier. haha.</p>

<p>any E&M takers get back home yet?</p>

<p>mechanics - fairly easy MC, easy free response
e&M - moderate MC, and I just COMPLETELY screwed up the free response (and I only realized all my mistakes after)</p>

<p>btw for e&M, can I get a 5 with 1 free response completely correct, maybe 5-10 combined points in the other two FR, and maybe 5 wrong on MC??</p>

<p>LOL </p>

<p>Mech. was a joke...</p>

<p>There were some E and M MC that were quite out there...but all in all I got all 32 that I answered right. I messed up 2b, didnt finish 2c, and I'm not sure if I did 1b right, so I'm predicting around a 32 - 36 on the FR.</p>

<p>LOL @ abhim: that's a 29 raw score on the MC and a 20 on the FR....even without the MC multiplier that's a 5....</p>

<p>@piccolo: lol well i guess i'll won't know till July for certain. what do u think is the cuttoff and MC multiplier for this year? anyway, thanks for giving me hope!</p>

<p>btw based on your scores you apear to be a genius :)</p>

<p>question
If I screwed up on 2a but carried that answer down to 2b, do I get full credit for 2b?</p>

<p>Whew, just got back.
Mechanics: MC: Easy
FR: Easy</p>

<p>E&M: MC:Medium/easy
FR:easy except number 3, which I blanked out on the last couple parts. </p>

<p>Hoping for a five on both, maybe if I'm unlucky a 4 on em and a super small chance of a four on Mech.</p>

<p>I thought mechanics was better than i was expecting. Easier set of MC compared to all the released ones, and FR was not bad except for number two which I couldn't figure part of it out.</p>

<p>Feh to the whole thing.. FEH, I SAY!</p>

<p>Okay, it wasn't that bad.</p>
