2010 ap calculus ab curve!!! Its ab not bc

<p>I am fairly confident that I got a 5 on today’s test. Here are my predictions about how each section went, with fairly conservative estimates on the FRQs:</p>

<p>MC (no calculator):
1 blank
unsure of 3</p>

<p>MC (calculator):
2 blank
unsure of 3-5</p>

<p>FRQ (calculator):
1: no lower than 6/9
2: no lower than 7/9
3: no lower than 5/9</p>

<p>FRQ (no calculator):
4: no lower than 6/9
5: no lower than 5/9
6: no lower than 6/9</p>

<p>According to the AP Pass calculator, that would get me a 5.</p>

<p>Took AB Today. I am fairly certain I did not score a 5, simply because I blanked out on too many questions, but if we get a decent curve, I should be pretty set for a 4. I came out of the room thinking high 3, low 4, but the scale I was thinking of was very conservative. How many other people think the FRQ was exponentially harder than MC? It didn’t even seem like it was the same test, it was so different</p>

<p>I started out poorly, but I got going after the first section.</p>

<p>MC (no calculator):
4 blank
Unsure of 1-2</p>

<p>MC (calculator):
0 blank
Unsure of 0</p>

<p>FRQ (calculator):
1: 9/9
2: 9/9
3: 9/9</p>

<p>FRQ (no calculator):
4: 9/9
5: 8/9 or 7/9
6: 3/9</p>

<p>I found that the FRQs modeled the AP Central FRQs from past years very well. I was very familiar with the types of questions asked because I had painstakingly gone through all of the FRQs on AP Central. I even knew approximately how many points each question could be worth to get a rough estimate of how I would score.</p>

<p>The FRQs were *<strong><em>en *</em></strong>*es. 3 modeling questions, seriously?!</p>

<p>I thought the exam was pretty easy -there were two questions in the multiple choice I wasn’t sure about and one part of an FRQ but otherwise, in my class, we used D&S Marketing books and those questions were WAY harder…</p>

<p>Junoon just wants attention, give him/her a break.
I prepared too much for those trig inverses Grr!</p>

<p>So there is 45 MC questions…let’s say you answer 18 out of 28 on Part I and get like 18 of those right and you leave 10 of those blank, and then you answer like 9 out of 17 on Part II and you get like 5 of those right and you leave 8 of those blank…then you get like 20 points on the free response…</p>

<p>MC (23 - 45 / 4 ) * 1.2272 + 20 points = 26.7496</p>

<p>I have a feeling I’m calculating this wrong?</p>

<p>Hello fellow Calcletes! (lol my teacher’s joke)</p>

<p>So I have an awesome teacher who really taught us everything and I used PR to review (~40 hours over the course of the last 4 days, procrastination lol)</p>

<p>I’m thinking 25/28 on non-calc MC, 13/17 on calc MC (I’m basing this on my 2003 released exam practice score, I felt equally confident on both and the above is my score from said practice test)</p>

<p>I thought the MC were fair, relatively easy (though some were tricky).</p>

<p>As for the FRQ, those were bloodier. Once again I would say that they were fair. I think that they could have been a lot worse after seeing some downright gruesome practice tests (I cannot believe we didn’t get a related rates problem! Like that’s a staple that I was pleasantly shocked not to encounter :D). The fact that we didn’t get some crazy decay function was definitely the best part of the FRQs :)</p>

<p>As for my raw scores idk I’m thinking:
snow, 5/9
ride, 8/9
elephant, 7/9
area R, 6/9
derivative graph, 3/9
dy/dx, 3/9</p>

<p>That’s being slightly optimistic, it could be 5-10 points lower overall. If my above scores are correct, than that is a 75.5. It could easily be a 65 though as well. Or even a 60. Hopefully we get a nice curve like 60 and we all get 5s! </p>

<p>*I have to get a 5 or I have to retake Calc 1 :confused: I REALLY want a 5
stupid Duke math department…</p>

<p>To calculate the score of a AP calculus test the formula is:</p>

<p>MC = [Correct - (Incorrect/4)]*1.2272
Free Response = Addition of all of your scores
Raw = MC + FRQ</p>

<p>So in your case it would be:</p>

<p>(23-1)*1.2272 + 20 = 46.99 which I believe would round to a 47 raw score.</p>

<p>lol^^ if that’s the case I would be content w/ that…!</p>

<p>im worried about my 5>.<
got 93%+ on practice tests and a 91.7 raw score on the final practice and and i felt today’s tests were hard:/</p>

<p>and yes, it is better to be safe than sorry.</p>

<p>and multiple choice was okay,…
FRQ: HARD. </p>

<p>i am a social sciences student.</p>

<p>STILL ANSWER MY QUESTION PLZ:</p>

<p>CURVE OF?
as of 2005, it has always been 63-69</p>

<p>multiplier?
1.2? or 1.27? </p>

<p>IT CAN MAKE A HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE DIFFERENCE ON MINE.</p>

<p>I WANT A 5

<p>For the BC exam is the scoring system different because we’re getting 2 AP scores yet the test is the same length as AB? I know 60% is AB and 40% BC but how does that influence the multiplier and the curve?</p>

<p>I thought the FRQ today was really easy compared to past FRQ questions.</p>

<p>Seriously? They give the same types of FRQs each year, except the wording is a little different. Treat everything like you treat SAT math and it’ll be alright. Know that there’s a limited number of formulas and things they can test you on, and you’re probably familiar with all of them already.</p>

<p>omg
i thought the MC an FRQs w/o the calculator were pretty easy
WITH however, i though were WAY harder
i’m scared
i REALLY need a five becuz if i get 1 then my teacher will change my 1st semester b to an a, making my gpa perfect and making me valedictorian
UGHHHHHHHHHHHH</p>

<p>^ I thought the calculator portion of the FRQ was much easier but both were very straightforward.</p>

<p>IT WAS HARD! NO DOUBT IT WAS HARDER THAN 2008.</p>

<p>the curve is def: 60.</p>

<p>NO DOUBT.</p>

<p>^ What did you find hard? I thought it was really easy…</p>
