<p>Please help me. I can not find it anywhere. Thanks</p>
<p>MC: 75 problems, 1 pt/right answer, 0 pt/blank, -1/4 /wrong answer. </p>
<p>FR: Two sections, 3 free response in each. First 3 are calculation based. Next 3 are more conceptual. Point distribution varies depending on the question and the number of steps per question. You might get a point for explaining some concept, a point for picking the right element, and then a point for explaining why this element’s particular structure contributes to its properties.</p>
<p>@james, what percentage do we need to get right to get a 5? 65%? thanks</p>
<p>@jamesford–Are the reaction questions included in the conceptual part? or calculation part? Or is it just a separate section?</p>
<p>Not sure exactly, but 65% is a safe 5, 50% is a safe 4.</p>
<p>The reaction FR is in the second part of the free response, the conceptual section. You must be able to write down the reactants, products, balance the equation, and then answer a question about the reaction (e.g. what is the oxidation state of [some element] in [some compound]).</p>
<p>I think that the reaction questions are more conceptual since you are expected to know the products of the chemical reaction. But you are expected to balance the reaction in the end, which therefore make it somewhat calculation.</p>
<p>By the way, I want to know the exam curve for AP Chem.</p>
<p>Do your research and figure it out. Collegeboard.com</p>
<p>curve is 107/160…
youll need more than 65%, I’m afraid.</p>
<p>how is it out of 160 though</p>
<p>mc 75 and then ur FRQ shud be 75 so its 50%…where did xtra 10 come from?</p>
<p>^ I believe the MC is multiplied by some constant to make it weighted.</p>
<p>Each individual question of the FRQ is multiplied by its own constant, each weighted score is added up to get the total FRQ weighted score.</p>
<p>For the descriptive chemistry part, you got the reactnats and products wrong but still wrote a BALANCED chemical equation? Will you still get a point for the balanced equation?</p>
<p>probably not, since the whole section is only 10% (of the free response section i think)</p>
<p>AFAIK you get</p>
<p>1 pt reactants
2 pt products
1 pt balancing
1 pt additional question</p>
<p>It seems kinda weird, since for example #1 they asked for the oxidation state of C both before AND after the reaction. It would be stupid to get the oxidation state before right (0) but get the after one wrong (4) or vice versa.</p>
<p>yes, even if you write a reaction that is completely irrelevant to the question, you still get the balancing point. only 1 point though</p>
