<p>So umm....is anyone else completely screwed? </p>
<p>I haven't really learned the material yet....is PR or 5 Steps to a 5 better for learning the concepts?</p>
<p>AP Advantage’s by Mooney is a fantastic book.</p>
<p>We’ll a lot of kids in my class are really struggling…apparently it’s not just our class. My biggest problem is Electric Fields, there are so many problems about that on the tests! Anyone have any secrets as to how to understand electric fields??</p>
<p>Yes, I learned nothing from my course… we’re doing practice and I got like 10/35 right.</p>
<p>electric fields are just the ‘force’ that a charge will feel… so when you see the lines pointing in a direction, it just shows you what’d happen if you placed a proton in that field.</p>
<p>ps. we took a 70 question 90 minute practice on monday, got 66 right</p>
<p>I CAN’T WAIT TO CRAM THIS WEEKEND!! BCUZ PHYSICS MAKES SO OH SO HAPPY!! physics is awesome!! ahh!!! it is addictive!!! omg omg neil bohr’s orbitals are oh soooo shexayyy!!</p>
<p>I’m completely screwed. I don’t know anything about physics. I’ve been spending all my time studying for APUSH. I have basically two and half days after tomorrow to learn a year’s worth of physics. I will literally be shocked if I get a two.</p>
<p>I find I know nothing about concepts regarding atomic/nuclear, optics, waves, and some other topics.</p>
<p>I’m ok. Just need to do some more practice MCQ and nuclear FRQ and I should be fine.</p>
<p>if I got 66/70 MC right on a real practice test I would run down the hallway naked…I am completely serious</p>
<p>Physics B has one of the highest curves in terms of getting a passing score. To get a 5, you usually only need about a 50-55%. To pass with a 3, it’s somewhere around a 30-35%. The Cracking books helped me last year, although I had an excellent teacher.</p>
<p>i dont get any of the magnetism or electric field stuff i really really need help with these concepts. i feel if i can master these concepts i should be able to get a 4</p>
<p>Um, I’m getting a 1. I’m absolutely certain of it. I’ve been struggling in the class all year. Physics just isn’t my thing. </p>
<p>I’m taking the entire weekend to memorize some serious formulas. Not that I’ll know how to apply them or anything…</p>
<p>The only topic that I am <em>seriously</em> screwed on is optics… I should be able to muddle my way through as long as there aren’t too many optics problems.</p>
<p>do we rely have 2 know how 2 draw ray diagrams and stuff?</p>
<p>^si.</p>
<p>you don’t need to memorize formulas…there’s a formulas sheet. with constants. :P</p>
<p>“do we rely have 2 know how 2 draw ray diagrams and stuff?”</p>
<p>Yeah, but that is pretty easy.</p>
<p>Interesting, it seems that none of us is really prepared for the physics exam.</p>
<p>Our AP physics class two years ago only had one passing with a 3. There hasn’t been an AP Physics 5 in our high school since its founding in 1965…</p>
<p>I am sooooo scared!!!..
i took a normal physics class…and decided to take it…bad idea…i asked my teacher the FIRST chapter of the princeton review…and she was confused…and she taught physics B before…:(…so i have been basically <em>doing</em> it all on my own…
<em>tear</em></p>
<p>what???
i thought you needed 75% right to get a five for ap physics B
where did you get 50-55%??? that’s like the curve for ap physics C, isn’t it???</p>
