***AP Physics 1 Thread 2014-2015***

So how do I avoid death when taking 2 tests on wednesday?

@wecollegebound Only teachers have access to the practice test, its locked on the AP audit website

Read the course description. I cannot emphasize this enough. If I had not read it for chemistry yesterday, I probably would have missed ~10 multiple-choice questions. Read up to where the science practices start, and pay very close attention to the learning objectives. Here’s the link:

Been lurking this thread for quite a while…
Not sure if i’m going to cry over the mc or the frqs more…

@apactstudent so much reading…

is anyone confident about a 5?

@Xurian lol, so I assume you’re also taking English lit? I can’t even bring myself to study for English.
Do you know how much time we get in between for break? An estimate, since I know schools vary.

and good luck! (and don’t die)

@apactstudent do mean pages 16 to 116? (Not the pdf page numbers).
Thank you!!

can anyone explain 3 and 7 on the practice exam?

@CeLcel Apparently people who took chem and psych on Monday didn’t even have time for a fast lunch between :frowning:

@dallascowboys1 - Not sure about 3, but 7 is 7J because there’s no energy dissipated in the air, so potential energy at the top = kinetic energy at the bottom.

we must be looking at different tests.Are you looking at “A Practice for the AP Physics 1 Exam?”

I am praying to the physics gods that they give me an easy one like newtons laws. If they give me rotational kinematics, its all over for me.

@AlphaDragon YES!! I got 1/7 on it what did you get?

@dallascowboys1 That’s not the official practice exam-- that one is from a prep book I believe.

So do you guys think AP Physics 1 multiple choice will resemble past AP Physics B mc questions that fall under the new curriculum?

@Pittster I hope CB decides to be absurdly nice and just make all the questions some variation of Newton’s laws.

did anyone take the practice frqs? i didn’t get the first one about momentum and like solving for the outside force.

Do any of you guys know the percentile scoring scale? My prep book (5 steps for a 5) says a 5 will be 63% and a 4 is around 50%

@xurian, no its the official one, #3 is the one about the density and radius being halved and it asked for the new g
