Post-AP Chemistry thread.

<p>does anyone know why we cant talk about it yet?? is it cuz of the make up tests?</p>

<p>Yeah. Make-up tests. And people in, like, Hawaii and California do the test hours after the east coast does.</p>

<p>MC was way harder than previous years. Reactions were easier than previous years, as with the FR. Maybe some questions in FR were about the same in previous years. </p>

<p>I think they put too much emphasis on us being able to multiply/divide/add without calculators. That was unfair. Also, I think the questions were more detailed and trickier than previous years. If you get a 40% on the MC (with deductions from guessing) and an 85% on FR, you will still probably get a 5 though</p>

<p>opps, sorry.
wasn't it implicit (what I said)?</p>

<p>I thought the whole test was easy, way easier than every practice exam Ive done. I skipped 3 MC and Im fairly confident in getting all of the FRQ right.</p>

<p>Oh yeah, and about that question that nobody can figure out, I figured it out, but now that I think about it, I forgot to add a number in my final answer that I showed in a previous step. Do you think they will give me the point for it???</p>

<p>I also screwed up somewhere else and it makes me angry, but I can't talk about it....... ahhhh....</p>

<p>Time zone thing</p>

<p>What number was it? A frq?</p>

<p>the second question on part B. Actually, a lot of people could get it, but a few people in this thread said they couldn't.</p>

<p>Oh I think I know what you were talking about, I had to scratch it out after I found out I was completely wrong.</p>

<p>It was actually really simple, but I left it to the end, and then had to rush a bit, and then, when there were 5 minutes left, I just stopped and looked around, until 30 seconds left, when I realized I kinda screwed up, and I got most of it down, but forgot 1 number. darn....</p>

<p>any idea what the curve will be like</p>

<p>My friends and I have a joke about a certain chemical that appeared in FRQ question 1. We are always so annoyed because after 2 years of chem, our classmates still think that it is like the other chemicals that are similar to it (I'm trying to be general here :D). So basically, I made a bet with my friends that it would be the chemical of question 1 and that question 1 would be that type of equilibrium. Needless to say, my jaw hit the floor when I opened my FRQ packet!</p>

<p>haha , good call.</p>

<p>all i remember is...a week b4 my test i was just thinking (so...the FR cant have organic / nuclear / electro chem...n if it comes on the MC i'll just skip it b/c it'll b at max 2-3 q's)...</p>

<p>GG on the electrochem frq o.o</p>

<p>all i gotta say is, I wish I paid attention in class last week
and didnt skip that electrochem chapter
good god
But overall, I think i got a 4/5.<br>
I made sure I did at least 49 (for a five). I think i did 60.</p>

<p>I'm hoping for 4, maybe a 5, who knows :D</p>

<p>how many points is each free response worth? Is there a set total points for each like in the other APs or does it vary?</p>

<p>I feel like I did kind of bad on the MC. It's not like it was hard, just that I didn't really prepare myself enough. Doing math w/o a calc wasn't that bad though.</p>

<p>The frq's were ok. Nothing amazingly hard, but there were glaring holes in my knowledge that showed in some of the questions.</p>

<p>I was kind of hoping that there'd be an easier curve this year because of the new format, but the test really wasn't harder than previous years.</p>

<p>do you think this test was overall easier or harder than last year? how will the curve be?</p>
