<p>Though I've only joined this site yesterday, I've often visited the forums and read posts regarding exam administration and colleges. One thing that always tended to annoy me when I was in this section is students blaming unpreparedness for exams on their supposedly bad teachers. Well, it seems that I finally understand their aggravation this year...</p>
<p>My AP Physics B class this year was a joke. The teacher's Powerpoints were only great in one regard- his complex animations of stick figures jumping off bridges or being swung around by a rope. Otherwise, they contained mainly honors-level material that was really not up to par with AP standards. For instance, at the end of class on certain days he would give us "AP problems" to do, all of which we would consider to be extremely difficult and would make us dread the impending AP exam. And it seems that the exam has snuck up on us sooner than we thought...</p>
<p>I really want a 5 on this exam. I am prepared to spend all weekend studying if need be. The thing is, my goal is to become a computer engineer, so getting a 5 on an AP Physics B exam would definitely be a plus. I've also been able to maintain an A in physics this year with very minimal work, so I obviously have a basic understanding of the subject material.</p>
<p>So, has anyone been in a similar situation or have any tips?</p>
<p>Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!</p>
