<p>ccuser, I don’t think they’re very strict on grading the FRQs, so I wouldn’t cancel my scores if I were you (especially when I’m sure I can get a 30 on MC). The FRQs really are not very difficult. I self studied through Barron’s and went through previous FRQs in the last few days, and I think I did well today.</p>
<p>Unless specified, should you always check if your data structures are null or have size() = 0? Like in the 2012 FRQ?</p>
<p>^Yes, that’s considered good programming practice anyway.</p>
<p>How was it?</p>
<p>Guys, what was the answer to the last one on the MC??</p>
<p>The one with n being in a range to 100, or something like that.</p>
<p>well i suck. i got a few situations where I got the same answer for more than 2 consecutive questions. I got a line of 5 consecutive B’s for one. I am so disgusted with myself. Hopefully only 1 or 2 of those were wrong. I hope I somehow did well on FRQ and pulled a 4 out of my butt.</p>
<p>Rabbit,</p>
<p>FRQs were easy?? Did you get the MusicDownload and downloadlist and all that crap?
And then, they asked to create a whole class for JumperCritter? ***?</p>
<p>@ccuser001 I think the answer for that last one was E (I and III were correct only)… at least that’s what I got.</p>
<p>This exam’s multiple choice was easier than many of the Barron’s/Litvin’s practice tests, but the FRQs were definitely much harder.
Edit: The answer actually might be C (III only) but I’m not completely sure.</p>
<p>I thought the FRQ was pretty easy and the MC was really hard o_o.</p>
<p>For the Gridworld problem, I just overrode 3 of the methods… did you have to actually write a constructor or could you leave it default/empty?</p>
<p>I thought everything was easier than expected. The FRQs were easy and most of the MCs were a breeze. This test went much better than yesterday’s AP Chem test!
On an unrelated note, I noticed that there was a weird pattern on the inside front cover of the FRQ booklet. I think this was to deter people from looking at the first page through the front cover, but it’s interesting.</p>
<p>@jjfine96 iirc, i overrode two methods and merely wrote super() for the constructor.</p>
<p>Damn, pretty tough for me. Of course I barely knew any GridWorld stuff and didn’t yet do the last 6 weeks or so for my online work. I missed 4 questions cause there wasn’t even a clock in the room, and I did pretty bad on the FRQ. I’d say I got >25 right on the MC but terrible on the FRQ. It’s much harder writing down code than typing. I erased a bunch of times because I wanted to add an additional line.</p>
<p>I thought it was shockingly easy, I finished FRQs with about an hour left, think I might have gotten an A on raw score lol. Only thing was I might have messed up a lot of the Roman numeral questions on the MC</p>
<p>I thought that difficulty of the MCQs was roughly average. The FRQs, on the other hand, were quite a bit harder than the released 2009 exam.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I got them all correct, but they definitely were a challenge–I finished with only about 45 minutes left.</p>
<p>I also thought the MC much easier than Barron’s, but I though the FRQs were a little tougher. I almost lost points violating the post conditions for the GridWorld free response. If you used part of the API that’s not on the subset, like Random, but didn’t import it, will they take off points?</p>
<p>@scienceNerd15: Import statements aren’t required.</p>
<p>It was also shocking how similar the MCQs were to the released 2009 exam–some of them were almost duplicates.</p>
<p>Mc was harder than the 2008 one</p>
<p>@Mentonin…I agree…I was so surprised that 3 of the questions were almost exactly replicates of the 2009 Exam…one was similar to the 2008 exam…</p>
<p>So…in my opinion: MC was much easier than FRQ.</p>
<p>Also, what did you guys put for the one that was before JumperCritter ? that was hard for me…there was a question similar in the student manual…but i didn’t remember how to do it :(</p>
<p>@redkeyboard
Ryan…there were 4 clocks in the fitness room we were taking the exam in…</p>
<p>That was easy… Every other frq was a double for loop and you change 2 lines of code for jumpingcritter. Only thing I had to think for was skyview but you just do even rows forward, odd backwards</p>
<p>Personally, I found it to be very easy. I got an hour of sleep in during the FRQ section. 
If you used modulus generously, the FRQ answers shouldn’t have been very long/complicated.</p>
