**OFFICIAL** AP Chemistry 2013 Thread

<p>Darn it, I just realized that I didn’t write net ionic equations for #4…guess that’s -2. Anyone know what the policy is for this? Completely off?</p>

<p>You might not get any points…maybe one for it being balanced. Generally it’s two points for reactants, two points for products, one for a balanced equation.</p>

<p>@Bear Eh…I feel 2012 was easier than this year.</p>

<p>@Niquii77 whats the last question about again?
i rushed partB and ran back to partA</p>

<p>The last question was with the Lewis for diagrams.</p>

<p>MC was pretty easy, but the FRQ…I don’t know how I did. I wish there were acid/base equilibrium questions on it; that was my favorite part about Chem.</p>

<p>I’m not very familiar with how curves work on ap tests. It seems like many people struggled with the FRQ and likewise many people are saying “hoping for a large curve.”</p>

<p>Generally, how much of an impact does a curve make on an ap exam and do the curves really change significantly year to year? Is it realistic to expect a score changing curve this year being that almost unanimously people struggled on Section II (Parts A and B)</p>

<p>Generally, ~65% gets you a 5. I go to a pretty competitive school in California, and the general consensus was that FRQ #6 was hard, along with the first 8 problems on MC (but then again, those 8 were just memorization of rules), so perhaps the curve will be 60%.</p>

<p>I hate when people on here just say “X was so easy”. It was probably easy for you, but not for everyone else. </p>

<p>For me, I found the MC really easy, but the electrochem frq to be difficult since my class didn’t cover electro. Besides that, I’ll probably get a 3 or 4 depending on the curve.</p>

<p>MCs were fairly uninteresting. FR was somewhat more difficult than expected, but it was still pretty easy overall. Chem Olympiad really helped make this test easy, at least for me.</p>

<p>

Really, relativelysmart? :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Failed logic…</p>

<p>I included the “I” to say I personally found it to be easy/hard. Not “it was so easy oh my god if you don’t get a 5 you’re a moron”.</p>

<p><em>facepalm</em></p>

<p>But you are implying the same thing…</p>

<p>I thought the FRQ was simple, just basic stuff, but MC wow, that was like SURPRISE ****!</p>

<p>Did we get the same tests???</p>

<p>I dunno, what was ur FRQ about?</p>

<p>Part A of the MC was harder than usual I think. The rest of the MC went pretty well.
I felt really rushed on the FRQs though. And I scribbled all over question one, trying to redo one part, then scribbling that out, then just drawing an arrow to another part of the page, then deciding I don’t like that part of the page, crossing the arrow out, and just using another page for that one problem.</p>

<p>Overall, I’m thinking I got around 80% of the MC and at least 50% of the FRQs. I’m hoping that’s a 5, but I’m not too sure. It seems more like a 4.</p>

<p>My teacher kept on telling me that I was gonna get a 5. I don’t want to disappoint her.
:(</p>

<p>@relativelysmart Hey, you said it, not me. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>I am pretty sure I destroyed that test</p>
