<p>Well if i aced the FRQ’s which I feel like I have pretty much done, I have a good safety net for my MC. :/</p>
<p>The abandoned portable where I took my test with one other person from my school didn’t have a clock so I was very close on time and finished without double checking half the test. T_T</p>
<p>@shom126: What do you mean by low curve? Is that good? I don’t really understand curves. Which is better, a high scurve or a low curve. And why would it be a low curve if more people are taking this exam and some AB stuff showed up on the exam? Please explain!</p>
<p>Yeah, I really need a 5 on this exam. Explain please</p>
<p>a low curve means that you need a lower percentage right to get a 5
so a low curve is better
more people taking the exam generally (I emphasize generally) brings down the curve and the AB stuff is a tad bit more difficult than just the old A curriculum
so in general if the test is harder and more people are taking it the curve will be lower
not drastically though</p>
<p>I thought the multiple choice was pretty easy. I left like 5 blank, and I think I got only 2 or 3 wrong, so I’m feeling pretty confident.
The FRQs were rather easy, though gridworld was a pain. I finished questions 1-3 in 45 minutes. The next twenty minutes I did 4a, but I took the last hour trying to figure out what the heck I had to do for 4b. I drew pictures after staring at the question for 20 minutes. When the proctor said we had ten minutes left I stopped drawing and figured out how to do it. I was so happy. I feel like I solved it unconventionally though…</p>
<p>Hello Collegeboard. I would like it if you caught me. As in right now. I am not kidding. Please. Ok, I will now give you a reason to catch me. Then answer to one of the questions was… A. There! Alright, I’ll wait for you. But if you are a representative from CollegeBoard, please call me Kevin Tee at Cupertino High School in CA, 95014, golf team.</p>
<p>What does everyone think they got here?</p>
<p>Def a 4, most likely a 5</p>
<p>I’m not going to discuss any specifics, but that test was 4 times easier than the Barrons, and so much easier than any AP test I’ve taken so far (Calc BC, Physics C, and Stat).</p>
<p>It seems like a 70/80 will be a 5 (as opposed to Barrons 60/80, with more difficult exam).</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone (as in, I hope you feel you got 5s), and see you on Thursday.</p>
<p>Gr8 now I’m starting to hope for a 4, and nut a 3.</p>
<p>MC I was doing fine at question 20, until I realized time was almost up, had to rush last 20.</p>
<p>FreeResponse, I did 1-3 all right, but the gridworld one I bs’d.
I never really went over GridWorld.</p>
<p>You guys have nothing to worry about. I took this last year, thought I failed all the stupid syntax and Gridworld questions, did strongly on the Free Response, and I somehow got a 5. Curve is ridiculous on the CS exam.</p>
<p>Based off what I’m reading, I had the same FRQ’s as I see everyone discussing, so that concerns me a bit, lol. </p>
<p>It’s interesting because I thought they made two different types of exam per year? One for overseas, and one for the US based hemisphere. Just so people don’t cheat or leak questions?</p>
<p>-Doom</p>
<p>Idk but they have an Embargo to make sure that no one talks about it for 2 days till exam is over… so yeah. You should be warned – don’t talk about the specific frqs till thurs.</p>
<p>hey guys when you remove elements from a list, you go backwards right so you don’t miss anything when the indexes get shifted?</p>
<p>How easy are they on grading frqs?</p>
<p>Yes bluetieaffair, you should decrement the counter you’re using every time an element is removed, but not every time the for loop loops.</p>
<p>I solved all of the free response questions using 2 or 3 different solutions, all of which I wrote on my exam. Is it possible for me to get bonus points for perfectly completing all of the questions in more than one way? Also, does a perfect score on multiple choice and free response merit a score higher than 5? Does anyone know if there is a 5+ or 6?</p>
<p>No, the maximum you can get is a 5.</p>
<p>Okay the curve will NOT be 70/80 for a five, that is rather ridiculous. Although many may have felt the AP CS was easy, it is an all or nothing kind of thing. They will be more generous with the curve, CB pop is rather a small number of those who took the exam and therefore is not good enough data to speculate the curve.</p>
<p>I agree with the person above me.</p>
<p>A lot of people I know who would normally get 5’s on any other AP Compsci (the practice) couldn’t get to about 4 of the multiple choice questions.</p>
<p>Come on guys, don’t base your curve results on the college board page lol. About 30% or so of people on the princeton page get in there…it is NOT a good indicator of how the average joe is doing lol</p>
<p>The curve will be 60/80, probably even lower. I’m looking for a 5.</p>
