<p>AP Bio:
My teacher is new this year, and sucks ****!!! We didn’t learn ANYTHING THIS ENTIRE year. I didn’t even read any of the Campbell, maybe like 5-8 chapters. I had to read the entire Cliff’s Notes book yesterday to prep for this test. I’m hoping for a 5 but my FR was a lot of bs. We “covered” (and by cover, I mean, we did colorful projects on) Ch. 2-10, 12-17, 22-25, 31, 35-36, 40-45). And I took a summer course (required) in the summer that covered Ch. 50-55. </p>
<p>AP Physics C: Wow, hardest test ever. At least the E/M. Mech MC was easy, but some of the FR (especially #2) was hard. Diffeq lolwut? The E/M MC and FR were both impossibly hard for me, since I didn’t really learn enough of it in class, and my class wasn’t AP oriented. So I’ll be lucky to get a 4, even with the big curve. </p>
<p>Predictions: AP Bio- 5
AP Physics C Mech- 5 (hopefully!)
AP Physics C E/M- 3 (hopefully a 4)</p>
<p>tomjonesistheman - my teacher is like the EXACT some way. I tried to read Cliffs - on saturday and sunday but it was so stressful - I only got halfway there. I’m the kind of the reader that has to like KNOW everything I read otherwise I get stressed out. I even had my dictionary with me. It was like hell.</p>
<p>um does anyone else except for me realize that ETS CHANGED THE BIO GRADING SYSTEM. The AP Bio test is actually graded out of an 100 now. and i believe they predetermine the curves for aps too no?</p>
<p>Thought it was overall pretty easy. Omitted one and guessed on about 5. Essays are probably moderate, I only wrote like 2 pages each, hopefully that’s enough.</p>
<p>I agree, that’s how much I wrote on most of the essays. I feel like if i had more time, I could have gotten into more detail, but time really flew.</p>
<p>God saved me, oh my goodness.
The MCs were okay, just the few physiology questions I skipped…
but the FRQs were reallyyy doable!
I was frustrated the night before b’cuz I couldn’t get the molecular stuff in my head, and physiology was self-study (which didn’t work out very well)… the FRQs end up being somewhat ecology/evolution based (the parts I actually understand)
overall, I think I got a 4 for sure, 5 maybe.</p>
<p>It’s out of 150. If it’s virtually everyone + prep books vs. you, I’d go with the former in terms of validity.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure curves for AP’s are always predetermined with a “test” group, which is basically a smaller sample that is supposed to be representative of America as a whole.</p>
<p>This test was unbelievably easy for me… it was my first AP test, and I think I did extremely well on it Only skipped one question that I had absolutely no clue on, otherwise, I smart-guessed on about 15 of them… I’m SOOO glad I crammed on Sunday, there were about 7 questions on the test that I remember directly from my Sunday-cram :D</p>
<p>The free response was a lot easier than I thought it would be, so yay :D</p>
<p>One funny thing that happened was that at around the 5-minutes-left point of the essays, I got a bloody nose… so I started holding a tissue on my nose with my left hand and writing with my right hand haha. Thank goodness I finished.</p>
<p>desperatechaos/smart1:
i think it is outta 100 now b/c mc went from 120 to 100 q’s AND in the most recent prep books curves r given out of 100 pts</p>
<p>holy cow. so we thought we had covered everything in our bio class. turns out we were wrong. anyway, i skipped 5 guessed on 20ish. i think i got the FRQs. it might’ve gone like 1: 8/10 2: 8/10 3: 9/10 4: 7/10. geez. i’m hoping for a 5. anyone want to give me an idea of how i roughly did?</p>
