Official AP Physics C Mech/E&M thread

<p>i noticed that there isn't really a general discussion thread floating around up here. so let's share our feelings.</p>

<p>i thought mech MC was actually easy. and FRQ's were ok.</p>

<p>E&M was ridiculously hard all around.</p>

<p>what did you guys think?</p>

<p>pretty much....</p>

<p>Mechanics MC: ok
FRQ: a disaster</p>

<p>E&M MC: ok...but not as "ok" as mech mc
FRQ: better than Mechanics FRQ</p>

<p>so where is the curve, generally?
I feel I got 60/90 on mechanics and 63/90 on e&m</p>

<p>Yeah. Don't really want to talk about those tests. I took 'em basically cold...</p>

<p>Mech:
MC: Okay, I guess
FR: Rape</p>

<p>E&M:
MC: I actually thought they were very decent questions. Mostly do-able, some impossible, as always.
FR: Rape again, especially #3.</p>

<p>Whatever. Second semester senioritis has almost kicked in! 3 tests left!</p>

<p>Raeped xO </p>

<p>Well, lol, yes it was hard. E&M much more so.</p>

<p>Hm, I actually thought the free response was rather easy for E&M. Especially the first one...there were almost no calculations required.</p>

<p>haha....no calculation...but variables...and randomness</p>

<p>well here's what i'm really wondering, was this year harder than past years (meaning an amazing curve)? or is it just always that hard and you don't really notice until you take it?</p>

<p>In order of confidence:</p>

<p>E&M FR
Mech MC
E&M MC
Mech FR</p>

<p>And there is a very big gap between two and three lol.</p>

<p>Mech MC - Good
Mech FR - Good
E&M MC - Alright
E&M FR - Good</p>

<p>I'm hoping for 5's... I wouldn't be that surprised with 4's but I would be disappointed in myself because this wasn't any harder than the test we take in my physics class, and I've been pulling 5's in them all year long.</p>
