Did anyone else think the Physics B FRQ was ridiculously challenging?

<p>Did anyone else think the Physics B FRQ was ridiculously hard, compared to previous years'?</p>

<p>I did well on MC (I estimated 4 or 5), but man...after FRQ i'm just hoping I pass -_-...
I've been scoring 3 - 5 on my past college board exams (mostly 4s and 5s), but now I'm worried I might not even pass..</p>

<p>YES! I only felt confident in 2 out of the 7 questions. Tough Test.</p>

<p>^ same here</p>

<p>not really</p>

<p>I’m glad everyone else thought it was hard, because I thought it was extremely difficult. I 5’d both of the released exams I found, did great on the MC on this year’s, and then got killed on the FR.</p>

<p>Buoyant force, nuclear, diffraction, and electricity weren’t so bad. But the magnetic flux (which I never get right) and that #1 were just killer.</p>

<p>Compared to the MC, I thought the FRQs were much harder. I know a lot of kids I took it with were surprised by its difficulty.</p>

<p>man im glad im not the only one who thought frq was a killer. i just hope the curve is really generous this time TT_TT</p>

<p>I am just hoping for a 3</p>

<p>why the heck were there 7 free response questions??? isn’t it always six??
does the seventh one not count?? does someone know???</p>

<p>ya there were 7.
ive seen tests with 8 i believe.</p>

<p>It’d be pretty freaking awesome if they announced #1 won’t be graded.</p>

<p>lol that would save everyone alot of relief</p>

<p>but still not enough for me lol</p>

<p>Free response numbers can be anywhere from 6 to 8.</p>

<p>^no way they should throw out #7 bcuz nuclear physics doesn’t matter and it wasn’t even supposed to be there in the first place!!!</p>

<p>HAHA nuclear physics shouldnt be there :smiley:
lol cool.
I dunno I think that nuclear physics question was easier than most. The formula was in the formula sheet. also i lucked out on the double slit experiment because i studied that.</p>

<p>^ well i missed that question because it was too easy and i was careless =[ how ironic
but good thing there’s partial credit!!</p>
