<p>You guys think this test had the hardest FRQ since the past few years? In general, did a lot of people do poorly? I really, really, hope the curve is generous and I can squeeze out a 5. The last calc FRQ and last non-calc FRQ destroyed me.</p>
<p>To much embarrassment, I messed up on the last part of #1. I did my math wrong for one of the justifications. I feel a bit down now after reading this posts. I thought I did okay, but sigh, I don’t know now. The AB test last year was wayyy easier, obviously. At this point, I think a 4 will do, but a 5 would be nice. =/</p>
<p>for #3 a) did it ask for the maximum distance or the time at which the distance was max?</p>
<p>the taylors FRQ was gay–it was so diff -.-! XD i am not even confident that i got a) correct, though i did bs up to c), i iddn’t bother with the pt of inflection.
probably good enough for a 5</p>
<p>I did all 6 of last year’s(AB) FRQ’s and I got 9’s on all of them.</p>
<p>This year, I don’t even think I got one 9.</p>
<p>I was planning on self-studying for AB but they signed me up for BC. I was definitely not prepared for BC so I didn’t take it… I’m hoping I’ll be able to take the retake.</p>
<p>I really hope it isn’t harder.</p>
<p>for #3 a) did it ask for the maximum distance or the time at which the distance was max?</p>
<p>ANYBODY??</p>
<p>Yeah can we retake the test if we want to, even if we took the test today?
I want to do the retake.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure you can cancel your score and take it next year, but you can’t the test more than once a year.</p>
<p>The test later in May, this year.</p>
<p>okay nvm then haha</p>
<p>what I said still stands, you’re not supposed to take it more than once a year. the retake is supposed to be for people who weren’t able to take it on the test day.</p>
<p>It asked for the maximum vertical distance. I got 12 point something.</p>
<p>okay, so i have to ask this question for someone. if a person took the AB exam and:
- answered 18 on MC part 1 (likely all right; no guesses; the rest were skips)
- answered 12 on MC part 2 (likely all right; no guesses; the rest were skips)
- got < half credit on FRQs 1-3 and 6, > half credit on 4, and around half credit on 6
what would be this person’s score approximately? this person is hoping for a 3.
i feel bad for her, she works so hard atimes and had really hoped for a 5…
but things just didn’t work out for her this time around, and now she just really wants to pass…</p>
<p>mid-3 to low 4 i think. I calculated, but the points you give me for FR are a bit vague</p>
<p>■■■ ■■■ ■■■ ■■■.</p>
<p>If I got (self-calculated…dunno how accurate I am) around a 58-67…I probably got a 4 right? With a slight chance for a 5 depending on the curve?</p>
<p>@jerrry4445: okay thanks!</p>
<p>another question, for myself and my friend: how generous are the graders in giving points for mistakes?</p>
<p>Points for mistakes?</p>
<p>No points for mistakes…
They follow a strict rubric for grading.</p>
<p>A dumb question:
Can anyone show me how AP Calc BC is graded? What is the maximum score on BC?</p>
