<p>Not sure where to put this, but all you AP Chem people who also took the joke state test (the Regents) can discuss it. I'm gunning for a 100.</p>
<p>What???</p>
<p>I thought it was really easy and I hope I get a 100</p>
<p>@lemone Regents are NY state mandated exams. You need a certain amount to graduate. I took chemistry last year, after honors chem. But my friend, who took it today, said it was pretty easy as well!</p>
<p>Yeah it was pretty simple, the short answers were worded weirdly though. What was the answer to what temperature would double the gas particles?</p>
<p>double the particles? you mean double the volume, that mc question? i put 200k->400k</p>
<p>wat about that last one with the physical properties of why you would pick copper over aluminum and then aluminum over copper — is it alright if i used density for both? only physical property i saw in the passage…</p>
<p>i used density for copper over aluminum, but then i used heat conductivity for aluminum (did they specifically ask for PHYSICAL property for the aluminum over copper)?</p>
<p>^Yeah I put the same thing for the Copper & Aluminum ones. So far I think I got 3 MCQ wrong, and like 2 short answers wrong, so I am still hoping for a 90. If anything a 85 is good for me.</p>
<p>didnt they say why you would use aluminum over copper for cooking pans? i thought the passage said aluminum was a worse conductor</p>
<p>Yeah it did. I said Aluminum conducts heat slower, so it would be safer to pick up, etc.</p>
<p>im in honors chem, but w/ a really challenging teacher, who is also not the best of teachers- but i found it much easier than other pre-given chem regents. the MC were VEry easy, there were only a few i was unsure about, and most of the short answers were pretty easy too. i’lll be happy with anything above an 80 (cause chem is kinda my worst subject). </p>
<p>But some bad news for those of you who think you got 100’s: you should check out the scaled conversion table for these past regents. it basiccly pulls you DOWN anywahere between 80 and 100. probally caus eit was easier than usual.</p>
<p>oh yeah! and the whole reason i put up a post: malleablitiy was the physical charchter trait (or at least one of them)</p>
<p>Got a freakin’ 96. 2 MC wrong.</p>
<p>yeah that one with choosing aluminum over copper confused me. i put that its lighter weight i didnt know lol. that question and a MC tripped me up. it was like asking for the 2 types of compound bonds or something?!? the answers were either molecular and ionic, molecular and covalent, metallic and ionic, or metallic and covalent.
anyone remember? thanks</p>
<p>^^Two years ago, the curve was even worse. Be grateful. 
[I got a 93, which ruined my summer.]</p>
<p>answer was ionic and molecular molecular and covalent bond are the same thing and metallic isn’t a bond really</p>
<p>thanks i put ionic and something else i dont remember</p>
