*** Official AP Computer Science A Thread 2013-2014 ***

<p>I really hope the curve is nice because that MC was pretty crazy for me… I basically ran out of time (had to guess on 2) and had to rush the last 10 questions, and I’ve never done that in practice ones. FR was easier than expected though.</p>

<p>Well for everyone who thought MC was absurd, at least we won’t have to do that in real life…</p>

<p>In a sense, we all can complain that APCS MC is unrealistic. </p>

<p>Anybody actually comment their stuff for FRQ? I did some stuff, but I also have a strong grasp of the language and thus do some neat tricks haha.</p>

<p>I don’t see why you guys thought it was hard. I feel MC was equal in difficulty to (2008?) Practice MC. And I’m so thankful FR was easy :D</p>

<p>@riverseden‌ </p>

<p>If you are talking about the FRQ with the static methods, I think you did not need to use the class name to reference the method since it was all within the same class.</p>

<p>I tested this out, and it compiles fine:</p>

<p>public class statictester
{</p>

<pre><code>private int x;

public static void dstatictester()
{
System.out.print(“o”);
}

public static void sampleMethod(int y)
{
dstatictester();
}
</code></pre>

<p>}</p>

<p>@ssgupta‌ the pressure sucked. By the time I rolled around, there were 10 minutes to the clock. @terrapin45‌ YES. Grid world was a piece of cake. I’m in the same situation as you for the score: high 4/low 5. However, if only a couple pts are missed for FRQs, a 25/40 for MC is a 5. I’m glad I’m not the only person who thought the MC was ridiculous. </p>

<p>I’m guessing the curve this year’s going to be around 56/80 for a 5. I prepared pretty well and came out a bit shocked.</p>

<p>@fievproko SERIOUSLY? That’s all you need if you did really well on FRQ? Then I’m for sure getting a 4 or a 5… I’d guess that I was able to get 20-30 right, depending on whether or not I missed something due to low time.</p>

<p>What was the first one for the MC. it was a double loop for x and y?
The one after that for the prices… was that 55?</p>

<p>The last one wasn’t changes reverses whole array tell me why?</p>

<p>@terrapin45‌ that depends on the definition of doing really well. 25/40 + 33/36 is a 61/80 right hit on line 5. But I bet the curve this year will be around 56/80 for a 5. Everyone around me was a complete overachiever and we all struggled on MC. </p>

<p>@fievproko Haha, I was the only one in my school doing the test (school doesn’t offer it), so I didn’t have any indicator of how my perception of the test was until I came on CC.</p>

<p>how about the two question(m/c) that dealt with sorting in increasing order</p>

<p>Yeah the sorting is a bit confusing, but I think I got it right. I changed my answer at the last second =P. The FRQ in my opinion was easy. I probably got a 100% on FRQ if I didn’t make a stupid mistake or miss some stupid AP guidelines (didn’t take the class so). However, I forgot to fill in my school code. Do you think they won’t grade my test?</p>

<p>@Student129 Was that the one with the ‘limit’? The one with the with the weird limit one was no change I think - it started to reverse stuff but once you got to the end of the first half it reversed the stuff back so nothing changed.</p>

<p>What was the answer to the one with the box bog that strats in the corner with rocks at the top? wheres it end up?</p>

<p>what was the soring answer to the person that said they got it right</p>

<p>frq was easy, but man, that multiple choice section… harder than goddamn barrons</p>

<p>@biribiri it was nothing changed right?? that’s what i put xP</p>

<p>@mersenneprime I think it was “ends up at the west wall going up and down”</p>

<p>@el1054 alright cool thats what i got as well</p>
