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

@keer14 You got this

let’s just hope that the rest of America is just as unprepared as we are :confused:

@magic125,

I believe that’s highly likely.

Also, did anyone else have their teacher teach capacitance? Ours did, and I have no clue why.

@magic125 the college confidential crowd tends to be the top students, as unprepared as we are, the rest of america (other than the .01% geniuses) is way less prepared than we are

@BrownieRalph Thanks :slight_smile: i can always pretend i got this lol

its relieving knowing that im not the only one who feels unprepared

@skieurope just to make sure, we are allowed to write notes in our calculator right? it isnt against college board rules or anything?

Hey Guys:
This can easily get us an extra 25% or higher number grade, lets try to compile a list.
copy and past the previous persons when you post yours so that we dont have to look through everyones. Just put a *for your addition

My class didn’t do much labs, so can we come up with a quick list of what a small experiment would be for each topic and the materials needed, that way we can just memorize this complied list.

1)Momentum, Impulse
2)Simple Harmonic Motion
3)Force
4)Pendulum
5)Oscillations
6)Kinematics
7)Torque
8)Conservation of energy
9)Waves
10) Force Springs
11)Rotational momentum
12)Other

Example
1)Momentum
Momentum use mass and velocity or force and time
Materials: weigh scale and photo gates or force probe and stop watch

@Mathman97 haha, maybe we’re all just playing it safe on CC to prepare ourselves mentally should we receive a 1 OTL.

@Tiberium nope, I didn’t learn about that.

Correct. Whether that’s the best use of your time is up for debate :slight_smile:

@icandothis45 Thats actually super helpful can you finish that? Please!

May the force be with us

Just remember an AP pass will be around 50%, so just score higher than your neighbor. There is not much to fear for this test.

The passing score will probably be around a 35% based on review books and what they’re predicting. I doubt it will be as high as a 50%

I’m so nervous. This is my first ever AP test and I have studied so much for it but I feel its never enough. Some of the concepts go way over my head and even though I had a good teacher I feel like we did way too much with numbers instead of conceptual stuff.

Just looked at the practice problems of the course description, and oh my god. Why are there so many concept questions???

Hey guys, can somebody plz clarify, for the lab based free response, do we simply list the steps in our procedure or do we need to write what is equated from each step?

:confused:

I just read somewhere (on CollegeBoard’s Twitter maybe?) that we should bring a ruler. Anyone else’s teacher told them to do so? My teacher never mentioned anything to bring other than calculator.

Does anybody have some review material that would be helpful for tomorrow?
