<p>I'm taking the later chem exam. how much does the later exam differ?</p>
<p>It should be illegal to make exams as easy as the AP Chem. 5 defenitely. MC was ridiculously easy. Frq's were very good. Reaction predictions were easiest.</p>
<p>Well, all you harvard-bound genius, I thought the test was freakin hard! I've never seen anything like this before. So hard, I failed it :(, I'll die from happiness if i get a 4...</p>
<p>MC was reasonable. Left only a few blank</p>
<p>With the exception of the reaction predictions, the FRQ was ridiculuously easy. I mean, no acid base? I'm not complaining.</p>
<p>2/3 of the rxn's were kinda tricky...not sure if I got them.</p>
<p>While still extremely easy, the first free response question just seemed radically different from their usual type of question. When I saw it, I actually started frantically scanning through the rest of the test to see If they had decided to trick me and move a more fitting question to number 2.
The only thing that might come back to bite me are some of my answers to 5 and 6. I answered the questions. And then some. I tried way to hard to justify EVERY probable cause, so in the end, one or two of them may have been slightly wrong.</p>
<p>Do I still have a chance to get a 4 with 20 blank, and 10-25 wrong on the multiple choice and only half right on the Freaks(FRQs)??</p>
<p>Congrats to those who did well but... some of you guys need to hold back on arrogant comments like "THAT WAS SO EASY" or "I FINISHED MC IN 20 MIN". It really makes other people feel uncomfortable. You must have worked hard, and I don't want to be a kill joy but...</p>
<p>MC was fair, I thought the FRQ were easier. It was pretty much you knew it or you didn't....</p>
<p>I thought MCs were okay, felt like I missed a few here and there, but ultimately left 5 or so blank. </p>
<p>The free response math questions were good, but I kind of... got distracted, got stuck on what to do a bit too much and didn't finish in time. However, I had a relatively easy time with the part B, and went back and figured out a couple things, which were a pain to compute by hand, but points nonetheless. (I was glad we were able to go back; I didn't know we could do that until I read the instructions on the back, and it really saved my life.)</p>
<p>Ultimately, I think it was a pretty solid 5 effort, but possibly a high 4, depending on how many things that I thought I got right, but didn't.</p>
<p>By the way, it really irks me when people get out of an AP exam and take every opportunity to brag about how easy you thought it was. It's really pretentious, arrogant, and otherwise displays a disturbing lack of tact.</p>
<p>Multiple choice was ok... I forgot some concepts though and I started to phase out near the end</p>
<p>Free response was ok, but there was always one part of the question that I did not get. The question 4, like usual, was pretty bad (for me)</p>
<p>I left exactly 10 blank on the MC. Wasn't sure about them and could only eliminate a choice or two.</p>
<p>The FR was O-Kay. Equilibirum wasn't bad. The second part to question #2 I had trouble with. I blanked out on the Free Energy thing, I don't know what I was thinking.</p>
<p>The first net ionic, I messed up the product.</p>
<p>Due to careless mistake, I missed the hybridazation part.</p>
<p>The rest was all good.</p>
<p>Does anyone have the exact curve? Usually Barron's Prep Book have them. SO if anyone has a Barron's AP Chem. prep book, please post the official curve.</p>
<p>MC was easy...FR was HARD!!! :p</p>
<p>Either all of you guys are smart or I'm just dumb. Multiple choice was alright...skipped 10. Part A of the frq was easy. Part B pretty much raped me...except number 5.</p>
<p>Let me see if I have this right: The curve stays the same, but the cutoffs change from year to year?</p>
<p>the part of the test that made me mad was the first reaction on number 4 (FR)... i won't say what it was because of the 48-hour rule, but we brushed over it for 15 mins in class because those types of problems make up less than 5% of most AP Chem exams... except for this one... stupid test.. besides that and one subsection on number 2 (last part, subsection ii.).. on a practice ap test (a real one from a few years ago) that i took, i missed 22 MC (answered them all too) and missed a few points on FR (more than i should have missed), and i made a 114 out of 150.. which gave me a 5.. i think i did about the same today (except, i missed less MC and missed a little more on FR)</p>
<p>what do you guys think the curve will be? on the one i took, the curve was 101 out of 150 was the minimum for a 5</p>

<p>The curve changes a bit every year and the process for getting the composite score changes slightly as well depending on difficulty and all that, but in 2002:</p>
<p>3 - 61-84
4 - 85-106
5- 107-160</p>
<p>So, 67% was needed to get a 5.</p>
<p>left 2 multiple choice blank (one of the balancing ones because it was giving me a headache and it was eating up time)</p>
<p>the free response was great.</p>
<p>the whole test was a great test... as in very easy.</p>
<p>To those of you who keep saying the exam was easy and a joke, well, your either not telling the truth because in actuality you did horrible or you simply think you did well but actually didn't. AP tests are not designed to be easy at all, they are designed to challenge the takers of it and to give the College Board a good idea of what teachers are teaching. If it was as easy as you think it was, then everyone would get a five. </p>
<p>Take it from me, I studied more than the average person, my AP Chemistry average for the past terms has been within 4 of 100; I thought the Multi-Choice were challenging, some were fair and some very challenging. I thought the Free Response were also moderately difficult, I feel however that I got most of it correct.</p>
<p>Can anyone predict my score for me?</p>
<p>I answered about 70 of the MC most likely got 25 wrong or so, so my raw MC score would be 38.75/75 on the FR I honestly feel like i got 90 percent of it correct.</p>
<p>I am absolutely dieing to know my score.</p>
<p>it was pretty dece. anyways i thought the FR were much easier than what we practiced in class but the multiple choice was harder than the SAT II chem that was in may.</p>
<p>im sorry, i shouldn't say it was very easy, by any means it wasn't......</p>
<p>what i should say is that i was thoroughly prepped for the exam. i felt that harder questions could have been asked and am glad that they weren't, i dont mean to knock anyone because we all went through a year of ap chemistry and most of us will probably do well (lets face it most kids on college confidential care, those that care generally do well... hard work never goes unrewarded.)</p>
<p>for the record i did say in another post that complex ions weren't going to be on the exam and ill eat my words. that part of the test with that question wasn't that bad and the question in the multiple choice on it was more of a qualitative aspect of it, nonetheless i was wrong...</p>
