AP Statistics Students,
I’m a teacher and…
Just a guess that one of the two inference questions the on FRQ, is a 2 sample t test difference in means. Just know how to do one if they give you a table (sample sizes normally greater than 30) or data (small sample sizes and have to draw a boxplot/dotplot). Multiple Choice Questions from what MON824 said are pretty straight forward, with a few that are hard.
One FRQ tip, don’t wait till the end of the FRQ to complete question 6(worth more than the 1st 5 questions) Take a look and see if you can answer any letters at all. Better than be exhausted and trying to answer question 6 from scratch. I’m excited for next Thursday and get to read what you all think here. Any questions or more advice, please ask.
@kidfood Thank you so much for the explanation!
Have a good day!
I disagree with MON824,
The FRQ’s are doable. There is normally one question that is hard and low scoring. The rest are pretty straight forward. Now if your teacher doesn’t prep you and show you what you need to get a possible 4 on each question - different story.
*extremely .
Our teacher told us that the 2016 test was an anomaly in terms of how easy it was, and my class tended to agree when we all got 50’s on the 2007 exam and 70’s on the 2016 exam.
This 2017 exam blows it out of the water though. Form O was very straightforward and conceptual except for the last question which tripped a lot of people up. Form E was supposedly difficult however. For once, I feel as if I fully understood the first 5 FRQ’s and got at least 30 MC correct.
Yeah I thought the test was really easy, I had form o, and I somehow messed up FRQ #5 due to running out of time. I finished all other questions, including 6. I feel like I should I get a 3 or above on all of them(1-4,&6). Probably 0 or 1 on 5. Assuming that I missed like 4 MC maximum, do you guys think I’ll get a 5? @GreenPoison @Carwood I wrote a lot for the 1-4&6, just to make sure I met Ap stat’s strict af guidlines
It was first afternoon test and I realized how much better morning tests are XD
Aka do you guys think that an ~80 will still net a 5? I think the 5/pass rate will go up quite a bit this year because extreme harshness will hurt people quite a bit
Some of my students(average students) said that a few of the FRQ’s were challenging especially #6. One student said that the MC was one of the hardest ones compared to the practice MC.
what the heck was with question 6
I thought question 6 was really easy, basic probability
5 screwed me up though, could someone DM me on how they solved it?
Yeah, Q6 seemed strange at first, but I got it just in time. Probably a 4 on that one for me.
So what do you think the cutoff for a five will be? Will it be similar to last year’s cutoff?
@BiaxialObject48 it will probably be higher by a couple of points, or the 5% will increase or a bit of both
My students were saying the first 25/30 MC were easy and the last 1/15 were hard. The first 5 FRQ were doable but the last one was hard.
@bjgjants6 I felt like the first 4 frq were way too easy, they should have made one of them harder
I agree somewhat, but MC was as expected. FRQ were far too easy.
What was question number 5? The confidence interval question? I don’t remember specifics but all I did was say that there was an association. Additionally, Question 6 was pretty polarizing. Pretty much everybody I know either grasped the concept or completely didn’t understand what the tables were asking for.
@GreenPoison I thought 5 was a Chi-Squared test for association, which there was an association b/c the p-value was less than .05
