<p>I've seen these threads for past years, and I haven't seen one for this year yet, so what kind of scores are you all expecting on your APs this year?</p>
<p>Mine:</p>
<p>German: It's hard to say because there's a new exam form so I don't know what to expect from the curve, but I don't expect anything higher than a 4.</p>
<p>English Language: 4/5 <em>crosses fingers</em></p>
<p>APUSH: I'm taking form B tomorrow, wish me luck...</p>
<p>Copy/paste with spelling corrections:
APES-5: Was pretty easy, and well inside the curve
Psych-5: FRQ was weird, but I should have enough from MC
CS-5: REALLY easy…
English Lit-5: MC was easy, essays were good enough
US Gov-5: Pretty easy with class/APUSH/following politics
French-5: I was really worried about this one but, despite a screw up on the oral, I think I got enough points for a 5
Stats-5: Easily, I have no problems with math and I had a class
Macro-5: Pretty standard stuff
Micro-5: Statndard stuff except FRQ #3, I’m really glad my Macro teacher taught us tariffs
Comp Gov-I haven’t taken it yet, but I expect a 5 due to the 70% curve and the easiness of the questions on practise tests.</p>

<p>Thank you! The AP Psych free-response(1st) was crazy. Who in the world remembered crystallized intelligence, agoraphobia, etc?</p>
<p>I didn’t take AP Psych but agoraphobia is probably one of the better-known psychology terms (by people who’ve never taken the class). i think it means fear of being in public?</p>
<p>AP Predictions:
Eng Lang - 3
Psychology-4/5
US History- 3/4
Spanish Lang - 4</p>
<p>Macroeconomics - 5
Microeconomics - 5
English Lit - 4</p>
<p>English Lit was good on the whole, but I completely screwed up the prose essay which will definitely take it down to a 4.</p>
<p>But yea Chris, the frq for psych this year was nothing like past years’, very odd…</p>

<p>@wynter: That’s the thing: it actually means fear of places where escape seems difficult(of which public places are an example). There were a lot of terms where the precise definition was different from your intuitive definition: ethnocentrism was like that as well.</p>
<p>let’s see…
-psych: 4/5 (it seemed to go well but i self-studied and missed a lot so it might be a 4)
-calc: 5 (possibly a 4 but i felt really good about it)
-english: 3/4 (the essays went HORRIBLY so i’m right on the line - i need a 4 more than anything so i’m super anxious about this one…)
-euro: 5 (i studied a good deal for this and felt really good about it on test day)
-comp gov: 3-5 (i self-studied from this book that wasn’t very good and i didn’t know what was actually on the test until i was taking it, so this could go either way. i only need a 3 for credit though so i think i’ll be ok.)</p>
<p>It sounds like this year CB went on a power-trip with the FRQs.</p>
<p>Case-in-point: </p>
<p>AP Lang: essay #3 - some philosophical junk about reason. The persuasive essay prompt is usually more accessible. </p>
<p>AP Enviro: FRQ on what constitutes a wetland … who studies that? Fracking was also pretty tricky (fortunately though, I knew what it was) … oh OMG … ONLY 8.7% OF APES STUDENTS GOT A 5 THIS YEAR. </p>
<p>AP Micro: FRQ #3 (lucky number 3?) … according to the President of the CB: 15,000 students earned 0/5 pts</p>
<p>AP Macro: FRQ #1 (only ~1000 AP Macroeconomics students earned full credit)</p>
<p>APUSH: FRQ #2 … 53% of students who opted for this Q earned less than 3 of 9 points. 53% OF PEOPLE EARNED 0, 1, OR 2 POINTS. </p>
<p>AP Psych: FRQ #1 (see above)</p>
<p>does anyone on here know when we find out our scores? i know they get mailed in mid-july but do we know when we can call?</p>
<p>^July 1. Starting next year scores will be available online for free (presumably on July 1).</p>
<p>Even though I took the late test for APUSH with completely different questions and essays, the statistics he posted on Twitter are really freaking me out.</p>
<p>Why? Didn’t the scores increase?</p>
<p>Don’t worry about the statistics…remember, CCers are MUCH better at these tests than the general test-taker population.</p>
<p>Also, we need to find the person who got a perfect score on AP Psych.</p>
<p>Where are you getting those stats from? Like the 53% of people got these and those points…</p>

<p>Wow thanks!! Didn’t know about this guy at all. Tweeted him to post Spanish language </p>

<p>I’m pretty sure that Q2 was the French/Indian war question and Q3 was the westward expansion question. So Q3 was in fact the one that had ridiculously low scores.</p>
