<p>I am completely sure I bombed it. I got a perfect on the sample questions on the collegeboard website and the Princeton Review book’s tests were pretty easy.
I guessed on 70%.</p>
<p>Ok here’s the deal with the book/table problem from my perspective.</p>
<p>There are only 2 FORCES acting on the book.</p>
<p>The force from the Earth on the book, which is denoted by mg.
The normal force from the table on the book. </p>
<p>There are not 2 action-reaction force pairs. There is only one. </p>
<p>The 2 forces are indeed action-reaction pairs.
ANSWER: NORMAL FORCE ON TABLE.</p>
<p>That’s my 2 cents. I’m not super sure</p>
<p>As stated earlier, action reaction pairs never act on the same object. “If A exerts a force F on B, B exerts a force -F(equal magnitude and oppositce direction) on A.” Normal force of table on book and gravity of Earth on book do not meet Newton’s Third Law statement. The force in question was gravity on the book by the Earth, so the reaction is gravity on the Earth by the book. It follows directly from the Third Law. Anyways, we should stop arguing about this since it just loops back and forth. We will see our scores soon and it won’t matter.</p>
<p>Haha i can’t believe you guys are still talking about that question. I think I put “the force of the table on the book” but to be honest I don’t really remember and I probably got a 250 so I’m not the one to ask. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow!</p>
<p>780 in Physics! Got 770 in May. </p>
<p>690, the curve must have been godly this time…
Wasn’t even expecting 600 since I left 10 blank and guessed on 20.</p>
<p>The curve must have been insane! I guessed on more than half and pulled out a 760!</p>
<p>Bombed it. My brain was mush by the time that I got it. Got a 640. </p>
<p>Mine’s not up yet. It’s taking so long. Omygosh. I’m so nervous right now.</p>
<p>Went from a 730 to a 670 :/</p>
<ol>
<li>I almost thought that I was in a dream, and I am still trying to let it sink in. That curve must have been one of the hugest curves ever. There were problems where I had almost no idea what to do.</li>
</ol>
<p>800!! I think I got 8 to 10 off my raw score. Lovin’ the curve on this test!</p>
<p>690, dat curve must have been godly…</p>
<p>I’m extremely happy, I got an 800! I think I got within -6 and -9 on my raw score.</p>
<p>800! Second time’s a charm</p>
<p>If I got an 800 before taking any AP Physics class, will schools take this into account or just count it the same way? Would his maybe improve heir view of the rigor of my regular Physics class? I am only able to take AP Physics next year as a senior.</p>
<p>@Cosmological No. </p>

<p>hey guys, which books did you use for prep? I am looking for a nice book but I couldn’t find my answer. (aiming 800) </p>
<p>@spincrus I used Barron’s the first time I took it and got a 750. I skimmed through Barron’s and supplemented that with Kaplan’s, which helped me raise my score to 800. </p>
<p>@spincrus I used Princeton Review and felt that it was overall good and easy to understand. Though it didn’t cover every last question on the test, considering the lenient curve on physics, it’s more than enough to get you an 800. (I started studying two days before the exam and didn’t get to reading it all, but for what I did read, it definitely helped.)</p>
