<p>Anyone in statistics or psychology should know that CCers are not a random sample and thus we cannot make inference about the entire population…</p>
<p>Your curve is fine, kids.</p>
<p>Is it normal to finish the MC with 30 minutes left?</p>
<p>whats a score of a tenth on the frq and 50 right on the mc?</p>
<p>But that inordinately large number HAD TO BE HUGE. Think of the thing involved and how hard up that thing is. So I think we should be at ease.</p>
<p>FRQ1 = Extremely shaky (1/2-3/4 correct) <
FRQ2 = Shaky (3/4-5)
FRQ3 = Pretty good (6-8)
FRQ4 = Okay… (4-5)
FRQ5 = ACED (at least 6-7)
FRQ6 = ACED (at least 7-8)</p>
<p>M/C answered around 50, expecting at least 10 wrong. So i got a 4…</p>
<p>FRQ: section one GOT pwnd, section two PWND</p>
<p>what is the score with just a raw score of 50 on mc?</p>
<p>So I think i got around a raw score of 60 on the m.c</p>
<p>FRQ 1: 5/10
FRQ 2: 2/10
FRQ 3: 7/8
FRQ 4: 15/15
FRQ 5: 8/8
FRQ 6: 8/8</p>
<p>is that like a high 4 maybe a low 5? I need a 5 but the lab problem destroyed me</p>
<p>I will die if I don’t get a 5. Everyone will in my class and it would just be embarrassing. Hah, I’m a little over-dramatic.</p>
<p>I take mine next Thursday. YIKES! Wish me luck :p</p>
<p>@peppermint: you would have a raw score of 45 on the FRQ. The multiplier, according to your values, is 1.27, so your adjusted raw score on FRQ is 57.15. Total raw score is 57.15+60=117/180</p>
<p>Past year cut offs for 5 has been around 100/180, but this year the cutoff might be higher. Nonetheless, you should still be relatively safe in getting a 5. </p>
<p>BTW, I grossly simplified the score calculations since each FRQ question is weighted differently in that overall 50%…like 1/2/3 are all 20% of the 50%, 4 is 10% of the 50%, and 5/6 is 15% of that 50%. Therefore, the raw score I calculated for you might not be entirely right, but it should be around that.</p>
<p>Also…the lab question (problem 2) was just thermochem/thermodynamics…don’t treat it as a lab question, just treat it as a regular FRQ haha.</p>
<p>From the prospective of a 2nd-year Chemistry student, I thought that this year’s AP Chemistry exam was significantly easier than past years. The multiple choice was like every other year… but the free response was definitely a lot easier.</p>
<p>I did a great deal of past AP Chem FRs… and a lot of them were not as straightforward as the ones on this year’s exam. </p>
<h1>1 is a molar solubility/ice box problem that we all have seen <– probably the hardest question on the test</h1>
<h1>2 is calorimetry - just remember q=mcΔT and ΔH = q/mols</h1>
<h1>3 I believe this is just a stoichiometry problem? can’t remember</h1>
<h1>4 the reaction products were amazingly simple - the first one is just the hydrolysis of water</h1>
<h1>5 the o-chem question was relatively simple. I remember the 2003 exam had a ridiculously hard #5 where you practically had to write the entire procedure for a weak-acid - base titration.</h1>
<h1>6 almost always electrochem - nothing out of the ordinary on that question. Cathode is reduction, anode is oxidation.</h1>
<p>So I don’t think the curve will be bigger than last year… and don’t stress too much if you didn’t get 1 or 2 free response problems - the curve is still HUGE. I remember on the 1999 MC test, 85% of the people who missed less than 23 questions get a 5. That’s almost a third of the entire test!!!</p>
<p>@iceui2
I remember #3 as being a kinetics problem. EASY</p>
<h1>3 was really easy… I’m praying for a 5.</h1>
<p>MC: I think I probably scored within the 50-55 range.
FRQ: </p>
<h1>1. Answered correctly half of the total questions?</h1>
<h1>2. Thought that one was one of the easier ones. Hoping to have answered correctly about 70-80% of the questions.</h1>
<h1>3. 80-90% correct, I hope.</h1>
<h1>4. Hahaha, I feel extremely dumb at the moment. I mixed up propane and hydrogen peroxide equations. Do you think I might be able to get half a point? I mean, I just got the formulas wrong…Most likely 50% right.</h1>
<h1>5. 75-90% right?</h1>
<h1>6. Maybe 60% right.</h1>
<p>I’m seriously scared about what my scores could be. I’m aiming for above a 3 and praying praying praying for a 5. Thoughts?</p>
<p>^ Wait 12 more hours before discussing specifics.</p>
<p>Well, in practice tests under sub-optimal conditions I scored 45 raw score on the multiple choice. The actual test seemed easier, and I had time to check my answers, so I’m pretty confident that I did better than that on the actual tests. As for FRQs… I left a good 25% at least blank.</p>
<p>Let’s talk about the FRQ and get some solutions going!</p>
<p>This may have been posted somewhere already, but I’m seeing a lot of false information about the past cutoffs for a 5. My teacher lent me her version of the 2008 practice test, complete with past students answers and statistical analysis. The cutoff for a 5 was exactly 93/150. I fairly easily got 85% on that practice exam, and in my opinion, it was far easier than the chem AP exam this year. I thought the multiple choice was about on par, but the free response questions were much easier and more straightforward in 2008 than they were this year. I was getting almost full marks on most of them. That’s just one opinion though. But I think the cut off for a 5 will not be higher than 100.</p>
<p>may2525-My thoughts exactly. I thought that the multiple choice was the same, but the free responses in 2008 and 2009 were VERY easy. I was getting near 100% on everything in 2008 and 2009(form B as well), and that was before I really started studying a lot. This years FRQ were no way as straightforward as in the past.</p>
