AP Statistics Exam 2018 Thoughts

How was the difficulty of the MC and FRQ?

Easy, Medium or Hard?

I know since this is college confidential and a lot of the people here go to top tier schools and all that im probably going to be in the minority decision, but I thought the MC was pretty easy, but the FRQ I struggled with it. After taking the MC I thought I had a possibility of getting a 4 or 5 maybe even a five, but after taking a look at some questions I didin’t know what to do. One particular questions was number six, and I expected it to be more challenging then others, but I had no idea what to do after a certain point. I know AP stats was one of the easiests test available,and test like AP world is one of the hardest, but Im pretty confident I got a four or a five on ap world, and I have no clue what Im getting on AP stats

Sorry for the long post, but how was it for you?

Ugh, I felt like multiple choice was harder than the FRQ’s and that I didn’t know some of the multiple choice questions and that they were written so weirdly, I had no clue how to solve them and felt like I got somewhere from 25-30 of questions right. For the FRQ’s I felt like I actually got 3 out of the 6 questions right and had slightly an idea how to do question number 6 but not sure if I really did it all correctly. I don’t know what score I should be expecting but it was a rough test but I really hope I end up with at least a 4. I wonder how they curve for the test this year.

According to my S, the MC was pretty easy, while the frq is harder than what they prepared for. He got question 6 done in the last minute!
He found the “five step to five” to be helpful.

My students said the MC was good and for the FRQ, they were able to answer 3/4 questions. I saw the FRQ and they were pretty straightforward. I thought that there was less writing on the FRQ than years past. I’m just concerned for the “weak” math students because there was more math than writing. I hope your teachers taught you what you needed to know about power of a test.

I thought it was fine overall. MC was a little different than I expected it to be, but not necessarily harder. FRQs were overall fine, but difficulty fluctuated a lot based on the q. Like Q1 (regression analysis) I thought was super easy but Q6 I struggled a lot before finally getting it. My teacher stressed power a lot so it worked in my favor
