<p>Hi.</p>
<p>I skipped the last FRQ, part C of the #4, and skipped four questions total on MC.</p>
<p>If I can get at least 76% on the MC, should I expect a 5?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>If you are confident about the FRQ answers than you probably will get a 5</p>
<p>thx bump bump bump</p>
<p>what if you skip 9 all together?? and do so-so ( as in more bad than good) on everything else…was skipping 9 not a good idea…i really didn’t want to guess on them.but kinda wish i did now…</p>
<p>I skipped three MC, definitely got one wrong on the MC (but definitely probably more), and I know for a fact that two of my answers on two of the subparts of two separate questions were wrong, albeit I had the right work. MC I really didn’t like (this was BC) and I have no clue how I did with that, but I feel very confident about the FRQ. Do you think I could pull off a 5 with lets say…8 MC wrong, 3 skipped, and maybe a few small points off on the FRQ but having it mostly right?</p>
<p>If you get about 65% right, you should hope for a 5 :)</p>
<p>(# right MC - 1/4 # wrong) * 1.2 + FR (out of 45) = _____</p>
<p>_____ is out of 108. 70/108 is probably a 5.</p>
<p>Yes. OK, if you actually look at the scoring rubric for the past years, a 68/108 is the minimum for a five. If you calculate that out, it’s about a 63%. Say, you miss 10 questions (not omit, but miss). In that case, you only need to get 27 points on the FRQ (meaning either 3 out of the 6 questions right, or 4/5 points on each question).</p>
<p>The free response should be out of 54, not 45, since there are six questions.</p>
<p>what’s the harshest curve we’ve seen in past years?</p>
<p>70? really? I thought it was more like middle 60s for a 5. My teacher showed me the curve for the past several years.</p>
<p>yea…pretty sure it’s 54…</p>
<p>amciw is correct and yes gazelle it is mid 60’s</p>
<p>I completely skipped C and D on question 3 of Part A with the guy diving off the board. ■■■…</p>
<p>ah…diving…
is the total distance using the curve formula with respect to t?</p>
<p>emm…am i ‘discussing’ abt the frq?..</p>
<p>total distance = arc length. </p>
<p>I couldn’t get C) so i made up a value for t and solved D) correctly. Should I get full points for D) then? </p>
<p>If I wasn’t supposed to say this much, please delete this post.</p>
<p>You should get full points because the error was carried forward (EFC) from the previous part so for that part, as long as you did the right procedure, even with the wrong answer from the previous part, you don’t get penalized.</p>
<p>Wasn’t the arc length using the formula for parametrics (w/ dx and dy both squared)?</p>
<p>And yeah, powerbomb, you’ll get credit for D) even if you got C) wrong.</p>
<p>I skipped 3 MC’s and probably got another 7 wrong or so, and butchered #6 on the FRQ’s. Ran out of time for #4 as well, so I had to do part D) by hand, and left it as a function of inverse tangent.</p>
<p>Can anybody tell me if I’ll get partial credit for D) if I solved it out into theta=(blahblahblah) but just didn’t solve for the value (since I completed it during the nonC portion)?</p>
<p>zelinker, i did the same exact thing as you…i realized how to do it in the nonC portion…i am assuming it’s okay…more like hoping…</p>
<p>zelinker, i thought it was the parametric formula too.</p>
<p>but now i see how arc length can be right as well. i blame the poorly wording of the question…</p>
