2010 AP Computer Science Discussion

<p>I agree, except I paid $89 times four separate AP test, the least they can do is give us 1/10 of a ream.</p>

<p>Yeah. Speaking of paper, Gridworld is a huge waste of it. Sadly I did not know “Gridworld” existed until, well, today. I’m gonna run out of time on the actual test if I keep on rewriting methods that already exist. :(</p>

<p>i paid 95. and i have mentioned that i am a cutie rabbit that like to pat my head with my furry paws. WHO IS NERVOUS!?!?!?!?!?!?!? 8.5 HOURS TO GO?!?!?!?!?!? WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO</p>

<p>go to sleep dammit.</p>

<p>Ugh a storm struck our city yesterday and my school closed for today lol. I just went there to double check, but was shocked and appalled at the fact that even the principal didn’t show up… </p>

<p>So, I’ll have to be late testing, right? According to the schedule, CompSci late testing is on 20th of May. That gives me… at least an extra week to prepare, right?</p>

<p>HERE I COME MY FIVE</p>

<p>aren’t late tests usually harder?</p>

<p>Well that’s what I heard… I just hope it’s that’s not true. To be honest the maximum I would have gotten would have been a 4 had I took it today. But now, I have a whole extra week to prepare for it, so it’s kinda cool.</p>

<p>I’m probably the only one still awake (GMT-10, woot), but a few answers to questions I’ve seen here:</p>

<p>I was looking at this PDF, which contains instructions for administering the exam: <a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/9_CmpSci.pdf[/url]”>Higher Education Professionals | College Board;

<p>The PDF confirms that:</p>

<ul>
<li>For MC, space for scratch work is available in the appendix, or in the MC booklet itself.</li>
<li>For FRQ, space for scratch work is available in the appendix, or in the green insert that contains copies of the questions.</li>
<li>The FRQ must be done in pencil, but you need a pen for the front of the booklet.</li>
</ul>

<p>Anybody else officially in a state of panic? Haha, in the long run I guess it really doesn’t matter what we get…but it’s always nice to get a 4/5 to show for the hard work all year and then the 4hrs you’re locked in a room taking a college exam.</p>

<p>One hour until testing begins!</p>

<p>I need a 5 to get credit at the college I’m going to, lol. I feel pretty good about the test though.</p>

<p>Why the heck are you guys awake go get some sleep. -_-</p>

<p>EDIT: Oh it’s about 6 am I guess… but still you need more sleep.</p>

<p>Good luck, everyone.</p>

<p>Wrote the exam today, was easier than I expected, and easier than the barron’s books IMO. </p>

<p>Easily a 4 though, possibly even a 5.</p>

<p>I’ll save any other discussion till after 48 hours have passed.</p>

<p>-Doom</p>

<p>How did you already finish the exam? It’s not even starting for another hour on the west coast.</p>

<p>wait so pen or pencil!?!
edit: nvm</p>

<p>Overseas, and Jobbin, FRQ’s are in pencil.</p>

<p>-Doom</p>

<p>I just finished like half an hour ago. I’m pretty sure I got a 5. I might have borked up the GridWorld FRQ a slight bit, but that was the only thing I was remotely worried about.</p>

<p>This test was too easy.</p>

<p>What did you guys think of the gridworld frq? everything else was ok. i dont know. i thought the multiple choice was really hard and were any of the answers the ones where its like “cannot determine bc of infinite recursion” was the convert from b16 to b10 the answer 24b10 and how many multiple choice and FRQ points (out of 36) do i approx need to get a 4…im really worried i really need a 4 on this examination…</p>

<p>It was 0decimal. And I thought it was pretty easy. Finished the multiple choice 20 minutes early, and the free response 45 minutes early. No method for those was over 10 lines really.</p>
