Pretty good test overall. MC was good and there were certain questions that were hard on the FRQs, but definitely think I did well enough for a 5.

It wasn’t that bad. Some MC questions were iffy but FR was well except for one that asked you to do so many calculations. I think I will get a 4.

I’ve done really well on all of the practice exams I’ve taken, but this was straight-up awful. I really want a 4, but I highly doubt that will happen :frowning:

I’m pretty sure I failed. I totally BSed a lot of the FR.

Tougher than the practice ones because this year the multiple choice part of the exam changed. The multiple choice was definitely harder and time was more of an issue. Hoping for a 4

I found the MC on today’s exam much harder than the practice and released exams I’ve taken. FRQ was okay, but I had no idea how to do the math calculations. I’m praying that I get at least a 4. 5 would be nice, but I don’t know if I would’ve been able to get that.

Yeah, what was that MC? I was so thrown off by it, I felt like none of my studying paid off. The first FRQ wasn’t bad, but I didn’t know the rest very well. I’m feeling a 3, which is fine because a 3-5 gets me the same credit!

@PhilipL literally in the exact same boat. I studied so much and thought I was prepared, but that MC threw a curveball at me that none of the released exams prepared me for. Hoping for a 4, but that’s doubtful, which sucks because the schools I’m applying to don’t take 3s.

I really just wanted a 3 on the Exam, and based on how I did on the FRQs, I think I was saved. I barely had to BS. I wasn’t expecting much from the MC, but I did think I did poorly on that section. It was tougher than expected.

@thefloridavegan I only took one released exam (one my teacher gave us for our final exam), and it was much different. I’m sure you got your 4!!! No matter how I feel about an exam I pretty much always get a 4, but we’ll see. Just feeling a 3. Where are you applying to school?

Man I thought it was way harder than the 1998 exam, especially the MC. Hoping for a 5, but it’s possible I got a 4 :frowning:

I thought the exam was so easy! But i agree that the MC were so much different than released exams. FRQs were a joke.

Nah I thought the FRQs were awful!!! MC wasn’t that bad

Yeah the FRQ’s were not as hard as ones I was given during the year. MC was a bit misleading but overall I feel pretty confident on a 4 or 5 if the curve goes my way

Reaches are NYU and USC (planning to be a communications/journalism major). Matches are UF (takes a 3) and U Miami (takes a 5… Lol). These are just my main choices, but my list will eventually be longer. I feel like I have really good qualities for all of these schools (really high grades/hard classes/ECs/passion/etc.), but I just really wanted my APs to stand out, I took APWH last year as my first AP and got a 5, so I was really hoping to keep the streak going.
