<p>how accurate have people found the AP pass calculator to be?</p>
<p>it seems too lenient for all ap exams</p>
<p>AP Pass is accurate for World History AP as I have asked a teacher and he checked it out and said it was accurate for world.</p>
<p>true. i hope thats the curve for physics this year cause then i think im good for a 4</p>
<ol>
<li> 0-39</li>
<li>40-53</li>
<li>54-82</li>
<li>83-105</li>
<li>106-180</li>

<p>What was the MC biased toward? I didn’t notice a bias, but I did run out of time.</p>
<p>Skipped ten, probably missed 3-7 more, and probably got about 58/80 on the FRQ. I entirely skipped FRQ#7, that was the one subject I didn’t learn. x.x</p>
<p>are we allowed to talk about the questions?</p>
<p>For anyone who passed this, good for you. My physics teacher didn’t teach us jack. I definitely got a 1 on this exam, or maybe a 2 if I got any partial credit or had good guessing intuition on the MC.</p>
<p>aaron, it is very difficult to get a one on an ap exam. You have to try and put in wrong answers to get a one. Even if you use common sense, thats enough for atleast a two I would say.</p>
<p>I self-studied an amazingly huge amount to pass the exam. And I think I did, 'cause of that. ;D</p>
<p>^
about the bias</p>
<p>There was definitely more than 4% of the test on magnetic fields… collegeboard lied…</p>
<p>got effed up by the subject that i studied the least on…
perhaps 50 raw score on MCs if i made a lot of small mistakes… and then FRQs ehh soo up in the air.
I really hope that the curve is as generous as that one up there… otherwise, the 5 is out of reach for me…</p>
<p>I could not do 2 parts of a question on FRQ, I did two parts wrong (that I know so far), and the MC was not as bad as I’d expect, although I did have 15 questionable answers. Hopefully I get -20 on FRQ and -24(4 blanks) on MC, which should be enough for a five…</p>
<p>@the bias, I didn’t recognize it, but my friends noticed it.</p>
<p>Collegeboard AP claims that 25% of the test is E&M topics, and that 35% would be Newtonian Mechanics…Hmm.</p>
<p>Disclaimer: I’m not discussing the test. Just stating what Collegeboard told me.</p>
<p>This test did seem to have a shortage of mechanics problems, but it wasn’t outrageously skewed towards any one subject either. I just wish there was less on nuclear stuff- we basically skimmed over most of it or didn’t even look at it at all.</p>

I’m sure they wouldn’t stray too far off with their claim</p>
<p>@kwwboarder
Definitely. Everything relating to modern physics was purely self studied (my teacher had no time to lecture), and even then I probably got a few mistakes.</p>
<p>AP Pass is not accurate, because there are not 8 FRQ on the test.
And also, 66 was a curve for a 3 in 2008.</p>
<p>What was the curve for the 2009 test?</p>
<p>I was worried since our teacher didn’t get us through all the material due to mid-atlantic snow and him being out for 2 weeks since his dad had surgery and died. I feel bad for him. He makes class really fun. Still, we got through most of it.</p>
<p>Back to the test…it was much easier than I thought it would be. I’m counting on a 5.</p>
<p>@NYEM the curve was around 106/108, or so my physics teacher said（he had the materials bought from CB for 2009 so I’m confident that it should be accurate).</p>
<p>Ahh…my physics teacher is new at it, and has taught us the wrong stuff the whole year…anyone who cared to pass had to self-study</p>
<p>How did the difficulty of this test compare to that of the 2009 test? That could give a good estimate of the possible cut off scores.</p>
<p>@NYEM I got 133/180 on that test. In my opinion, the difficulty is the same. I can’t score nearly as high as before due to some major mistakes in my FRQ(although I left no question fully blank).</p>
