<p>The exam was much easier than I thought it would be. MCs were a joke and FRQ was easier than last year's (2007 FR on collegeboard website) in my opinion. I think I got a 5, but I don't want to jinx myself so I'm going to just say I did pretty well. :)</p>
<p>Now I gotta go cram for my other AP exams.</p>
<p>I thought the last FRQs were okay. But, I totally failed the third one (about oil). What did you guys think about it?</p>
<p>Caution: I don't think we can talk (mention)about specific problems yet. Be careful</p>
<p>Do we get our raw scores?</p>
<p>We can talk about the problems, just not the concepts involved with them. Nope, you don't get scores of any kind until the 1-5 one in july.</p>
<p>I'll give a hint about the concepts on the exam: derivatives and integrals :)</p>
<p>I wouldn't mind discussing the oil one in person but it is too risky to do so where there is a small chance it could be traced back to me.</p>
<p>Does anyone have the exact way they compute the scores: 5,4,3,2,1..Like the point breakdowns.....</p>
<p>MC : Relatively Easy (but I am sure I fell for some traps)
FRQ: Half Easy, Half Hard</p>
<p>CB never says how the do the 1-5 (or the 200-800 stuff on the SAT) but usually 75% right is a 5, 66% is a 4, 50% is a 3....so on.</p>
<p>Well, its best not to talk about any of the problems until 48 hours have past, so that you do not jepordize possible banishment from the forum, but more importantly cancellation of scores. <--- This is no joke, they can trace and cancel your scores. So just be careful</p>
<p>"Hey my name is John Smith AP #1111111111, let's discuss some FRQs" :D</p>
<p>Yeah, hold off the actual problems until two days from now. We can post up our solutions online later.</p>
<p>i found myself with a ton of 1 line answers in the free response...particularly with #1. but, #3 really killed me. parts of a couple others were tough. MC wasn't too bad, though.</p>
<p>^Same for #1. Not a lot to write when your calculator does the work for you.</p>
<p>I ended up rambling hoping that it would be enough. I will be ****ed if I do everything 100% right and nicely show my steps only to get screed for the justification.</p>
<p>i totally messed up on part b of the oil problem</p>
<p>then i think i got part c wrong too</p>
<p>how many points will i get if my work is all wrong, but there's a lot of that wrong work?</p>
<p>Generally most of the points are for work and less for getting the right answer. You want to prove that you knew the concepts and equations involved more than being able to use your calculator to do it for you.</p>
<p>Each part of a question on the whole is weighted differently. Usually part A is worth less than part B and so on.</p>
<p>Ya try not to mention any specific questions.</p>
<p>From what I've seen from the scoring rubrics from past years, you get points for setting up the integral right, saying that the height of some solid is 2 times the base area (related rates), and units. The correct answer is one point while you can get a bunch of points for other things.</p>
<p>I personally thought the multiple choice was pretty decent, and the first four FR were really easy, but the last two caught me. Sad thing is, I should have predicted them.</p>
<p>all i know is that a you get a 5 if you received 66 out of 108 points</p>
<p>I got some really really weird answers... I tripled checked them but they were just... weird...</p>
<p>The MCs were pretty okay~</p>
