Calc AB Exam--How'd you do?

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>I think ETS had something against '06. For starters, the Stat FRQ's from last year were soooo much easier than the Stat FRQ's this year. Most certainly, the Calc AB FRQ's (both calc and non-calc) were so frickin' easy (compared to the previous couple of years and this year as well as being 'frickin' easy' in general). Better not be the case for Lit, or I'll be really sad/mad.</p>

<p>Hmm I'm on the border of a 4 and a 5....I don't think i missed that many on the MC...from my estimations I'm adding up to a raw score of 69...meh, no sense worrying, scores don't come out 'til July.</p>

143

<p>Can Anybody Please Tell Me How To Calculate The Raw Score?</p>

144

<p>In calculating the possible scenario, I'm getting a low/mid 60s number so I'm sure I'll end up w/ a high 4. It COULD be possible that it's a low 5. Who knows? If I retest, I could definitely get a mid-5 (w/ no annoying distractions). How do the rest of you feel you did (using those scoring guidelines)?</p>

<p>Dragon, are those official from a past released exam or is that from a review book? Kaplan's scoring system is SOO weird. I didn't use Kaplan's at all. I soo want a refund b/c it was such a waste. PR was terrific! Did anyone else use PR and find it helpful? I review a little the night before, and some EXACT situations came up on the test (that I had reviewed the night before). How awesome is that? ;)</p>

145

<p>Pimpervious, (# right -(1/4)#wrong) = raw score for the MC portion. For the FRQ, you just add up the total number of points received.</p>

<p>PR Saved My Life!</p>

<p>"I think ETS had something against '06."</p>

<p>Don't forget they introduced a new SAT just for us to fail first. ;)</p>

<p>"I didn't use Kaplan's at all. I soo want a refund b/c it was such a waste."</p>

<p>Kaplan problems didn't help me much at all...:(</p>

148

<p>PcEhA, when do we multiply by 1.2 then?</p>

149

<p>Multiply MC by 1.2.</p>

150

<p>What do we multiply FR with?</p>

151

<p>9 x 4 = 36 + 3(maybe) + 6(probably) = 45/54 on the FR I think for me.</p>

<p>Although im overestimating, I think I probably got in the high 30's for the FR.</p>

152

<p>Since there are 45 MC ?s, you have to multiply by 1.2 so it = 54</p>

<p>And since there were 6 FRQs, and max on each = 9, a perfect FR score would be 54. </p>

<p>So MC and FR count equally towards your grade.</p>

153

<p>Oh, thanks :)</p>

154

<p>No problem Pimpervious :)</p>

<p>My possible scenario:</p>

155

<p>Are you sure about that rubric? Where is your source for that?</p>

156

<p>That was my question too, but it does seem right.</p>

<p>So, I'm thinking it'll be best to just keep my mouth shut about the jackhammering and just focus on my other APs (instead of re-testing in AB calc). It'd be a waste of time and would bring too much unnecessary stress! A 4 is good enough so I should just stop being a darn perfectionist! L;)L!</p>

157

<p>I mean, according to that rubric I could sleep through the test and get a 3. I dunno about it.</p>

158

<p>The AB curve is generally generous (according to PR).</p>

<p>Let's forget about scores for now. Grade reports come in July anyway. A lot of us are seniors moving on to bigger and better things (and REAL college-level studies). So, AP will eventually just become a faint memory (or nightmare).</p>

<p>It's fine to discuss how we felt about the different sections and all, but let's give it a rest w/ the scores..... ;)</p>

159

<p>Out of curiosity, which equation did you use? v^2=vo^2+2a(x1-x0) and x=xo+vot+.5at^2 only work for constant acceleration unless you do separate integrals every time the acceleration changes (which would be pretty much constantly if I remember correctly).</p>

160

<p>Im surprised so many people omit, I only had to "guess" on I think 3-4 questions total on the MC and im pretty sure I got one of those right which cancels out the other 2-3 wrong answers. Omitting 11 questions really hurts your score.</p>
