AP Physics B

<p>I've just taken a real released AP Physics B Free response section and timed myself (90 minutes). I've finished the whole thing and have 30 minutes left. Is the free response really this easy or what? I mean I didn't get a couple of problems but I have 30 min left! I feel like my timer is wrong.. The problem is I just want to stop and I don't feel like checking my work or redoing everything that I've done. I'm just too eager to check my work to see what I get. I know I probably won't be like this on the exam but any ideas on how to keep doing it? It's like this for every practice test I take. I never take up the whole time to double check cause it's not real lol.</p>

<p>How do you stimulate a real test taking situation?? Thanks.</p>

<p>Koda, double-check your watch with atomic time (maybe on your computer) - but I wouldn't be too suprisied.. the same thing happens to me on the SAT! the only problem is physics is not very natural to me, so it takes me longer to think</p>

<p>but good luck!</p>

<p>that's a good idea. I've graded myself and I got 50/80 on the free response. =x I got a 40/70 on MC so my score would come out to be 90/150 right? Would that be a 4? I'm surprised at the amount you can miss, or am I mistaken? I guess I should double check my work on the FR lol</p>

<p>Well, I'll be lucky to get a 4...by my grade in the class I can barely get a 3. Tre nervous.</p>

<p>I am having a lot of troubles in this class. How do you guys study for this test?</p>

<p>im in physics B in school and do well, but its more cause my teacher is easy than i know the material...if i take the AP test and dont do well, say like a 3, will that hurt me in the college admissions process or does a bad AP score not make a difference</p>

<p>A 3 won't hurt you tennis. That's what I'm looking at too, I was lost the whole year but i'm getting in the 3 range on the practices.</p>
