<p>@TheSlimyDog Try <a href=“AP Physics C: Mechanics Test Score Calculator - AP Pass”>http://appass.com/calculators/physicscmechanics&lt;/a&gt; for Mechanics and <a href=“AP Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism Test Score Calculator - AP Pass”>http://appass.com/calculators/physicscelectricity&lt;/a&gt; for EM</p>

<p>@tomisawesome‌ What the heck is RC transient?</p>

<p>@superstarlala‌ I think it’s a different name for an RC or LR circuit. If you know the equations of capacitance and inductance and how to make a differential equation using Kirchoff’s Loop Rule you should be fine. If not then don’t stress too much but at least learn the differential equation.</p>

<p>The Mechanics multiple choice is like the easiest thing ever, but some of those FRQS sheesh.</p>

<p>Anyone taking all three tests tomorrow? O_O</p>

<p>Oh man, I’m taking mechanics and I already know I’ll barely make a 3. This class will be mandatory for my major so I know I should be studying for a 4, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to teach myself how to do the free response by tomorrow. </p>

<p>does anyone have the free responses before 1999? My teacher gave me some of them but they are much harder then the post 2000 free responses?</p>

<p>@theslimydog so he is going to waste time deriving the equation? If you don’t know what a time constant is then you might be screwed as well because that is a common question on the test. Does anyone know if we need to know how to calculate dot and cross products when all they give us is the components??? (For mechanics)</p>

<p>GUYS: Do we get the equations on the MC part of the exams??? I noticed when i took that E and M one there was no formula list. If we don’t, do you think I should have memorized things like Biot-savart? </p>

<p>No, we do not get formulas on MC.</p>

<p>What is the curve usually like? My teacher said like 65/90 is a 5, but that seems fairly high</p>

<p>Like 55/90, probably lower.</p>

<p>Have any of yall looked at the PR practice tests? I just took a mechanics one with unlimited time and damn. I feel like it does not model the real practice tests.
… or is it just that I forgot everything the day before the exam?? :c</p>

<p>And I have all 3 tests tomorrow :smiley: Gonna be in just after hours >.>
Aiming for a Bio-4, Mechanics-5, E&M-5</p>

<p>@pretzel729‌
xD aiming for bio-4. mechanics-5, e and m- 4</p>

<p>i have music theory, mechanics and E&M
obviously i want all fives but i’m literally learning all of E&M right now… </p>

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>How difficult is it to score a 3 on the Mechanics portion? My college gives credit for a 3 on the Mechanics portion of the exam, but I’m not sure if I can pull the 3 off :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

<p>How realistic are the PR mechanics practice tests???!</p>

<p>im pretty scared right now bec. its the night before the exam, and i reviewed all my notes in class, and then attempted a PR practice test…</p>

<p>and i was stumped for like the first 10 pblms(some of the solutions used methods ive never come across or cant understand)… i havent even started FR yet?</p>

<p>is this bad?!!
i miss a lot of the conceptual roman numeral questions, and make careless math/reading errors on other ones</p>

<p>what can i do now to calm down and try to raise my score???</p>

<p>aiming for a 4 ( the MC practice tests we took in class… met cutoffs for a 2,3,3, and barely got a 4 on my last one)</p>

<p>pls help! urgent</p>

<p>@aSoaringAlpaca‌ As with every exam, it really depends on how well you prepared. If you feel you can get at least 50% of the answers in MCQ and FRQ then you should probably be able to pull it off (I actually thing 50% might even get you a 4).</p>

<p>I expect 5’s on both, but especially on the E and M. I am aiming for a 100. Mechanics ehh maybe 75%. </p>

<p>AGAIN: Someone create the google doc and have it posted right after the test tomorrow so we can see! </p>

<p>^ You don’t need to brag.</p>
