Any NYers who just took the physics regents?

<p>What did you guys think of it? What questions did you have trouble with?</p>

<p>BTW, what did you guys put for the question about total internal energy? I narrowed it down to 750 J and 450 J, but chose the first one. Overall, I actually thought it was really hard.</p>

<p>It was completely rediculous. I was in honors physics at a pretty tough catholic school and this is by far one of the hardest tests I’ve ever had to take. The things they expected us to know and figure out were beyond what regents physics is. The peope who made this regents better make a good curve because it was utterly rediculous. For that question the answer is 450 because you have to know FD=KE+Q</p>

<p>I KNOW! like even last year’s regents was a joke compared to this one. I’m in honors physics as well, and my average is in the upper 90’s, but I’d be super lucky to break a 95 on this test. And the curve is basically the same every year, and it comes out before the tests are even administered, so that’s cool. ughrerbfuergfibe.</p>

<p>from an upper tier-ish high school where the classes are generally harder than those schools around us, and i thought it was hard as well.</p>

<p>The curve is out though, and its pretty lenient:
48/85 = 65
73/85 = 90
79/85 = 95
84/85 = 99
85/85 = 100</p>

<p>EDIT:
here’s the whole chart</p>

<p>Science is usually my best subject and I’ll be lucky, and ecstatic if I break 90, like I will throw a party…</p>

<p>I didn’t think it was too bad, but I thought the SAT II was easier and one of my friends who took AP Physics thought it was really hard. </p>

<p>I’m just hoping I did better than I did on Chem last year. :P</p>

<p>…got an 85, unfortunately my worst regents grade ever. This also brought my average in the class down from an A+ to an A, which seems like no big deal but it crushes my gpa based on the system that my school uses. (A+ goes in as 100, A goes in as 90)</p>
