<p>You guys need to read the stickys</p>

<p>Dun dun dun duuun… someone might call the Office of Testing Integrity.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure they prowl CC already.</p>

<p>I agree with Justin.</p>

<p>Hi collegeboard reps.</p>

<p>If you look at my posts, none of them actually discuss the specific questions. I was just trying guestimate my score and what the curve would be.</p>

<p>I have, therefore, abided by the rules.</p>

<p>I want to make that clear.
=)</p>

<p>Just curious, why do they make us wait 48 hours? It isn’t like if we take it in say NY, in 24 hours, there will be someone in Hawaii who hasn’t taken it yet so they can cheat by asking us what the questions were on the test. I know they have Form B for that reason, like if someone in England takes it because by the time they finish, a person in California wouldn’t have even started it by then so they could technically cheat. But even like 10 hours later, you can’t cheat because all tests are over by then.</p>

<p>Attention BC after-test ANSWER seekers! Get ready to discuss Form A FRQ’s as soon as the “waiting” deadline is over!!! We shall DISCUSS AND CONFIRM!!!</p>

<p>You guys should be careful in general. Although I agree it was a massacre. too bad…:)</p>

<p>That’s because due to the equations of String Theory, anything that has happened 48 hours ago can not be altered but anything with a 48 hour time span can be affected by time fluctuations and ddos attacks. The collegeboard is just trying to be careful, that’s all.</p>

<p>hahaha ANYWHO I just want to put out there that it is really possible to trace someone with their IP address. And there is no use in talking about what is already done.</p>

<p>Hmm…thinking back, I think I may have over-thought and messed up FRQ 6a …man. Will they grade according to consistency? I mean, if I get part a wrong, everything else will be technically wrong, too; even if I have the right methods, I’m plugging in a faulty series…damn.</p>

<p>for some reason i thought the MC was just horrible.</p>

<p>the FR was incredibly easy. I kept thinking to myself: this can’t be calculus BC!
most of the FR questions (with the notable exception of 5 d and slightly 6d) were very straightforward</p>

<p>i’m hoping for a 5 but could cope with a 4</p>

<p>haha i’ve seen that vid before
can’t wait until tomorrow to talk about FRQs legally</p>

<p>let’s see i know i got 2 MC wrong, and accounting for like an avg of like 5 wrong due to erros and losing like 10 points on the total FRQ would that be a 5?</p>

<p>that’s easily a 5</p>

<p>according to the Princeton Review/Baron’s practice tests, i was really good at BC
but apparently I’m not</p>

<p>For some reason I was terrible at the MC (I blanked on a u-sub problem) and I talked to some of the other people in my class and we got completely different answers for a lot of them.</p>

<p>The FR was easy; the only tough ones were 5 and 6. Looking back on it though, I may have made some mistakes on the last parts of 1-4…oh well</p>

<p>I was looking at a 4-5, but now I’ll be lucky with a 3 haha.</p>

<p>so out of 108, times MC by 1.2, leave FR as it is
lets say one gets 30MC times 1.2=36
and like 30 for FR (raped for #6, and some room for careless, and say MC is maybe not that gud, leave space for error)
basically looking at 65 or so out of 108
possibility for 5? i hate borderlines!</p>

<p>I know!</p>

<p>the great thing about BC is you only need like 50 points for a 4, and I’ll take a 4!</p>

<p>Can anyone guess what my score may be? I felt like I failed that test and was wondering if I should cancel my score but then heard that it had ridiculous curves so I don’t know…</p>

<p>MC:
Skipped about 8-10
Don’t know if I missed anything for certain but leave room for error and let’s just say missed 4</p>

<p>FRQ:
Part 1: Felt like I got everything except 3D. Let’s say missed 2-3 additional points
Part 2: Completely failed. Only answered 2-3 parts…not even sure they were right.</p>

<p>Would this in any way be a 4? If it’s lower than that I really need to cancel since I’ll never get an AP Scholar award with a 3 or 2 or 1… </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>lets say your MC is hmm 45-10=35, lets say u get 32/45, 32 times 1.2 is 51.2
i gave u 32 for 3 errors
51.2 out of 108…lets say u got 10 marks out of 54
61.2/108 is a 4</p>

<p>^ Ummmmm… not to rain on anyone’s parade (sorry :() but 32 times 1.2 is 38.4.</p>
