<p>@sonpuri El Nino brings wetter seasons to Latin America as heat moves from Western to Eastern Pacific I am pretty sure…</p>
<p>What’d you guys think about the FRQs?</p>
<p>FRQs were extremely easy other than number 3. The multiple choice was very difficult though compared to practice tests I have done. Hoping for a 4 when everything gets graded.</p>
<p>did you take any collegeboard practice test ? jbeck8 ? like the released ones? like the 1998/2003/2008 ?</p>
<p>I didn’t think the multiple.choice was hard, but that doesn’t mean I did well, haha. It went pretty bad, but not too bad. The free response was verryyyy easy. However, I left a 2 point question blank in hopes of going back to it, and ran out of time 
Hoping for a 4…</p>
<p>What did you guys get for the calculations on the FRQ?</p>
<p>I did two practice tests from the princeton review and one other practice test I found online. On the Princeton review ones I got about 80 questions right, while I got about 70 right on the other practice test. The other practice test I think was a free sample one that was released by AP. I’m hoping I got 60-65 questions right on the test today because my FRQ answers would definitely get me a 4 then.</p>
<p>was 70 on the collegeboard practice test ?</p>
<p>Yeah I got a 72 to be exact on the sample test (I think) that was released. I know specific acts, meetings, and soil/water/atmospheric layers very well, but the test had very little of that. I should have reviewed air pollution a lot more even though I still knew a good amount.</p>
<p>@ThatApGuy–That’s what I thought, too.
@picklepickle–Free response counts for a lot–only leaving a two point question blank won’t be a problem! You should be confident you have that 4 (or maybe even a 5!)</p>
<p>I thought multiple choice was really rough. I starred 18 to come back to when going through it the first time(usually mark under 10), so I’m guessing I got mayyybe a 70% overall on that. FRQ were really easy, except I didn’t know the ozone equations (but made good effort without them.)</p>
<p>Calculations in one part was just to subtract, right? It seemed to simple to be true, so I was scared… but I can’t remember my numbers, sorry!</p>
<p>And I agree that the MC were harder than previous years (I have done all released MC) and that the FRQ were significantly easier–the one part I had trouble with I’d say most APES students should know easily, I just blanked out on the specifics in the moment. :p</p>
<p>Overall, I’m hoping for a 4/5. I’m feeling an easy high 4, so hopefully my FRQ push it up a bit. Aannnd… I don’t have to go to actual class for two weeks, or labs ever again! Is that how it works for you, too? </p>
<p>Congrats on making it through the class everyone!! :D</p>
<p>btw–this is awesome!

<p>Maybe they’ll curve this one more because the multiple choice was so difficult?</p>
<p>@dramaswimmer Thanks! That makes me feel better 
According to AP Pass I got a good 4. I just hope everyone thought it was hard so the curve is a little better, haha. </p>
<p>And I think all of our problems on the MC was that we studied way more than just pollution. I studied everything- winds, toxicology, soil, etc, and only brushed up on pollution because I thought I knew it very well. I honestly saw nothing except pollution and population ecology on that test. And sometimes I just get my pollutants mixed up! I mean they all do the same thing… pollute! Haha :P</p>
<p>Omg I want to cry…
I could have answered some of the FRQ questions… but I was soo nervous cause it was my first AP exam, and dsfcvodfejfweopvk</p>
<p>I feel like there was a LOT about ozone/global warming/climate change</p>
<p>Lolol I read PR on Fri/Sat. and took like 5 x 10^5 practice tests before the exam, so I was like super prepared for the Multiple Choice section, but I did pretty badly on the Free-Response portion… It wasn’t terribly hard, but I found one of the math questions misleading…</p>
<p>@picklepickle–NP! That grading system is based on the 2008 exam, which is why it was out of 99 MC, not 100–they threw one question out. I’m guessing because a lot of people are finding the MC hard that they will throw away a bunch of questions, or at least more than one!</p>
<p>And yes, the pollutant questions killed me. I knew going into the test that I had to review air pollution more, but I was just out of time at that point. Hopefully the curve is in our favor!</p>
<p>@MathGuy777–I stumbled there also. The wording was confusing, but hopefully we both read it the right way! And don’t be upset, because if you did well on the MC that’s more than most of us can say! There was a lot more on ozone/climate change than what I expected, and what stood out to me was that it lacked anything(?) about green energy–passive/active solar heating, windmills, hydroelectric energy(besides the sediment FRQ), etc.</p>
<p>I literally studied all of it yesterday by reading a Princeton Review book. I think I got a 5, maybe 10-15 MC wrong, because I didn’t know what made NOx and SOx exactly.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember any of their answers from the FRQs?</p>
<p>I didnt study at all and I think I got a 5. Although the first 50 mc were kind of difficult, the next 50 were really easy (more definition-like questions). I thought the FRQ were a piece of cake and didnt have any trouble with them. Did you guys really think it was that hard?</p>
