AP Physics C

<p>I got a 41% on my AP Physics C test today on Air Resistance. I'm gonna fail the class. Goodbye.</p>

<p>ouch, well good luck at whatever you decide to do.......</p>

<p>I don't think you'll fail the class, necessarily. </p>

<p>I got a 30% on my kinematics test, but I couldn't study because I had a load of AP English work. Also, I didn't understand the concepts very well in the first place.</p>

<p>Get a prep book, like Barron's or PR, to boost your scores and understand those concepts!</p>

<p>we have had 2 tests so far. i got a 64% on my kinematics test and a 41% on my air resistance lol. someone got a 100% on both...***???? lol. i guess i need to study more.</p>

<p>lol think of it this way 41% is a 4! on the e/m that would be a 5! lol and u definitely got a 5 on the kinematics exam =P</p>

<p>too bad thats still an F in the class...</p>

<p>dude i can feel ur pain :-(</p>

<p>not doing so well in that class myself...(not quite as low as 41 but Cs and Ds)
its rough...def rough</p>

<p>i hate how teachers expect u to get 90% on their tests but you are never expected to come CLOSE to 90% on the AP exam lol</p>

<p>ok he had to re-calculate the standard deviation and i actually ended up with a 52% not a 41%. It's still an F though lol. Yah I know what you mean...it's ridiculous. I kinda blame myself though, I knew this was gonna be a tough course...</p>

<p>"re-calculate the standard deviation"??? how are ur tests graded lol jw</p>

<p>yeah it is a tough course...but hopefully test scores will go up as the course goes on (hopefully! lol im worried that if im not doing this good at mechanics...how will I EVER survive E/M????) lol</p>

<p>dude i just took my first test for kinematics phys c today. i spent like hours studying and i thought i got everything then on the test i froze up. not cool. i think hopefully my grade on the test will be a b tho....</p>

<p>jw wondering, did you guys take physics b. coz like do you think c hard even tho you've taken b (if you have)</p>

<p>Just because you can get a "5" on a test doesnt mean you will get a 5 on the real thing. The stress and time limit will severly limit you. Last year's MC really killed me.</p>

<p>i heard last year's test was harder than usual</p>

</p>

<p>I don't think so.</p>

<p>I got 60% on two tests when I took that class, B- both semesters yet got 3 on the AP.</p>

</p>

<p>That is true...</p>

<p>the multiple choice was. the frqs werent hard though</p>

<p>lol. Taking an AP Physics C test is suicide on paper</p>

<p>i got a 44% on my last test...i totally beat you</p>

<p>Yeah my teacher grades so that a 50% is curved to an A. The whole point is that 50% on the exam is a 5 so a score like that is actually good. First test tomorrow, wonder how it'll go.</p>

<p>nice curve.</p>

<p>But ridiculous tests.</p>

<p>well in our class 75% is an A
I got 100 on the first test-kinematics
But looking through the book, C looks impossible lol
god help us all</p>
