<p>Hi</p>
<p>I am taking the late AP Physics B exam. How much harsher is the curve compared to the regular testing? Also, is the late exam harder than the regular?</p>
<p>Difficulty is subjective.</p>
<p>Curves are most likely similar - don’t expect them to deviate too far from the norm.</p>
<p>That is true.</p>
<p>So, a 5 would still be around the same grade boundaries as normal testing then?</p>
<p>Yeah… pretty close, assuming that the MC isn’t “horrendously difficult” or “ridiculously easy.”</p>
<p>Pretty close. It would only deviate by one to two points in either direction… if at all.</p>
<p>im feelings good about the curve. Im getting 8 wrong on MC and similarly solid scores on the FRQ, so I’m not too worried</p>
<p>@caa4444 damn those are amazing scores. That’s a 5 for sure</p>
<p>I took the late phys B last year. It was pretty much as expected; nothing surprising or ridiculous. Comparing impressions with those who took it early, it seemed roughly about the same in difficulty. Curve should, as others said, be almost identical</p>
<p>frq 4 was the only hard part, but it very hard</p>
<p>Our class did Physics C this year and had one study session after the C test to prepare for the topics on B but not on C (some of which we covered last year in Pre-AP physics). Luckily enough, we went over 2011 FRQ 3, which was nearly the same as FRQ 5 this year (or so I hope 
). The Mech and E&M on the B test is a joke compared to C, and with some knowledge of the rest of the B topics I’m still confident I got a 5.</p>
