overworked412 - i wouldn't worry about it guys. i took it today too, and I was able to do everything, but i messed 6 up completely. However, when I was talking to a couple of kids who took the test last year, one of them said that he left an entire fr question blank (i.e. 0/9 pts automatically, no partial credit) and still got a 5. I would assume that the CollegeBoard made the fr beastly to make up for the easy mc. Meaning that, in the end, it should all balance out.</p>
<p>Or I could be totally wrong.</p>
<p>the one annoying thing about this test, for me, is that the mistakes i made were so absolultely ridiculous. I feel that most people who do well in the course throughout the year tend to make algebra mistakes, and not calculus ones, so there ought to be a good bit of partial credit handed out.

<p>I agree...</p>
<p>After the test I realized that I messed up on #6 (form Q), which is really irritating b/c i studied that a lot and i completely know how to do those, but i made an extremely STUPID mistake, which screwed up everything....ughhh.</p>
<p>Oh well I always make stupid mistakes and forget to do little things like add C or I add wrong or something dumb like that!</p>
<p>"yea the test wasnt that hard...i think either a 3 or 4..maybe even a 5 if all the FR i did was right LOL.. but crammed BC in 3 days being a AB student. anyways only physics and biology left"</p>
<p>Haha, you are taking the same AP exams as I, BC Calc, Bio and Physics B. Awesome.</p>

Did you really self-study that for only a week and do well on the exam? You must be a genius. I self-studied BC for two months and I didn't do as well as I should.

<p>Well, I've been in a BC class, but I had done no work, no tests, no quizes and get a 100 every marking period. I spent most of my days doing AP Facebook. Like I had gotten up to parital fraction and L'Hopitals (which was absent from the AP test this year, weird) and then gave up on Serise stuff. This past week or two I took my Princeton Review, learned everything and then studied FR Questions from College board. It wasn't too bad.</p>
<p>i skipped 2 on the non calc MC.
probably missed 6?
i skipped 1 on the calc MC.
probably missed 2?</p>
<p>Form Q
1) Easy
2) AB Easy C Hard
3) We never learned this, so impossible. I spent alot of time trying to do A and eventually put somthing that was sort of right. I didn't get to B and C with my calc, so my answers are just expanded. I hope that's okay. If I'm lucky i did a bit of it right.
4) Fine.
5) Fine, made a stupid algebra error in C.
6) We never learned this, so impossible. BSed A, skipped B, C, i knew what the answer to D was tho, so I wrote that.</p>
<p>(someone tell me if anything I said was against the rules, so i can take it down)</p>
<p>I think i may have really screwed up questions 1 and 2, because i thought they were really really hard, but everyone said they were easy. I'm so worried. I cant wait 40 more hours to discusss.</p>
<p>Yeah, i also used L'hopital's and partial fractions. Not only that, but I used calculus on the exam. I used derivatives, integrals, algebra, taylor series, vectors, and generally, the calculussy things people use in calculus. was that general enough?</p>
<p>That FR was a b****! When I opened the insert, my mouth dropped. :'(</p>
<p>I got through 1, 4, 5, and 6 okay, but the second and third free response was a killer. I ended up putting down random crap that seemed right to try and salvage at least a few partial credit points.</p>
<p>In the last few seconds, I drew a picture in my booklet out of despair. It was just a stick figure with a question mark over his head. They can't count off for that, right? I didn't realize how stupid that was until after the test.</p>
<p>No, we never learned them. Our teacher didn't finish the curriculum because he taught it like a real college class, rather than focusing specifically on what was on the AP. So while we learned alot of really cool stuff it wasn't tested on the AP, and we didn't get to some (those) topics that were. I self-studied, obviously, so I did put stuff down, but as you said, they were very hard so I dont think I got it right.</p>
<p>Yeah, I hope for 3 since that's what I need for A in class and to get through the CC's math reqs. No chance for 4 for me. I couldn't physically get above 15 points in FRQs since I answered only three frqs and yet partially :)</p>
<p>That is a good point. On this site, when people say "It is so hard. I completely failed!", that usually means they got a 3 or a 4.</p>
<p>I too thought the FR was harder (far more difficult than previous years), but I know I got at least a 4, most likely a 5. If I get a 4, it will be disappointing, but not really a big deal. </p>
<p>MC was easy, but there was way too much time on Part 2 (with calc) and not enough on the non-calc part. Stupid timing on College Board's part.</p>
