2009 AP Psychology Discussion Thread

<p>@10scholar - my bad.</p>

<p>LOL I literally crammed the whole book in the night before (AKA yesterday), never wrote an essay before, never got to practice anything at all…so um I’m expecting anywhere from high 4 to mid 5 (MC was decent, FRQ was easy - had nothing I didn’t know completely for some reason).</p>

<p>Ah well.</p>

<p>how can you be so sure, you will get 4 or 5 or something??
because, i thought it was good, but you never know… I have no idea how I did.</p>

<p>You can mildly estimate based on the curve and etc, just like most of the posters before me have predicted 5’s.</p>

<p>I’m not that confident (as well, I did learn the whole subject in one night), but enough to know that the broad range of 4~5 is within reasonable validity.</p>

<p>mc + frq 1 were easy. frq 2 = i got 2 things for sure, the rest was bs.</p>

<p>I feel like i did really well on the multiple choice. I was 100% sure with my answer on almost all of the ones i bubbled in. There were 5 or 6 that i was unsure of and left blank. So if the test was only multiple choice im pretty sure i would have gotten a 5.</p>

<p>But the essays killed me. I pretty much rambled on about what the term sounded like it meant and hopefully I got some random points somewhere. I probably got half of the possible points on that section</p>

<p>It was so frustrating how I knew everything on the MC but how the essays made me feel like i was asleep in class all year :(</p>

<p>cld_19992: that’s what i put too!</p>

<p>the psych MC overall i felt was pretty easy, but a bit strange in that it didn’t test us on the things i expected them too (in comparison to previous MC’s)</p>

<p>^ agreed. Actually, for that reason I found some of the MC confusing… but there were definetely a lot of easy questions, and then those i never learned.</p>

<p>Kind of made me think of the out there FRQ for Calc AB with cables… They seem to be doing things different this year.</p>

<p>I wonder if they’ll throw out that part… on some old AP Psych tests they throw out bad MC questions. Why not bad FRQ questions?</p>

<p>^That’s BS. If you got 95/100 raw, you need less than 50% on Free Response to get a 5.</p>

<p>^that person from your school is an idiot. based on your post, you should get a 5. : )</p>

<p>does anyone know though if 70ish raw MC and 9/14 on the frq today should be a 5?</p>

<p>I hated the 2nd FRQ (if you couldn’t guess from my previous posts)</p>

<p>maybe that will make the curve a lot better if they keep it at least. :]
Either way.</p>

<p>CC and the people on it really magnify the simplicity of APs and other things. -_-</p>

<p>On another note, taking APs back to back on a day really, really screws you over.</p>

<p>Numerous posts have been deleted for either discussing the content of essays within a 48-hour period, or revealing at any time the content (e.g., terminology) of multiple choice Q’s or A’s. Please refrain from this line of conversation.</p>

<p>Is this allowed? Its very general.</p>

<p>You know how for the FRQ we had to say how Blank would affect the situation. Did we have to say how it would positively and negatively affect the situation?</p>

<p>uh oh…i hope not ><</p>

<p>it was sort of easy and the FR was kinda easy</p>

<p>Should a 90/100 MCQ and a 6/14 FRQ be enough for a 5?</p>

<p>[ 90-.25(10) ] + [ 50(6/14) ] = 108 = 5</p>
