AP Exams

[Lea103]

i took the AP Euro test and it was very interesting to say the least... i think i may have pulled off a three maybe four... my class was lucky, we have a young teacher who took them recently and could remember things.. like to study women's history because it may come in handy... im glad i listened.

This year I took 3 AP Test: English Literature, Statistics, and Calculus BC.

English - I think I did pretty well, it just depends on how i did with the multiple choice.
Statistics - Once again pretty well other than the Investigative Task Free Response question.
Calculus BC - Not so well, should be be better than my Calc AB score from last year though.

Well, i've taken my APs now, I think I got 4/5 on both government and biology. Just glad that it's over, mostly. How's everyone else's week 2 of APs going?

The 4 of us at my school that took Physics C: Mechanics would be absolutely thrilled to get a 3 on it. That's the single hardest test I've ever taken. I don't know if it's really that hard or our class just wasn't very good for it.

Well, time for my last AP test tomorrow . AP Chem, it will be hard, but I feel prepared!

[Tom Bottiglieri]

Physics C (Mechanics) - Hopefully 4. Probably 3.

Will people throw stones at me if I gloat that I don't have to take any?

At my school we have UCONN partnership. This means that we get credit from UCONN for taking the class, just so long as we get a C or better. (In Chem, every test we take is from UCONN, in calc just the midterm and final, and in English nothing). So I already have an A- in four credits of Chem 1, and a B in four credits of Calc 1 (by the end of the year I should have 8 of chem, 8 of Calc, and 4 of English (4? yes 4))

So at my school, as long as you paid for UCONN credit ($15/credit) and your school accepts the transfer credit (Syracuse does) you have no reason to take the AP test.

I hope everyone did well, good luck if you still have more!

This same thing is offered at my school, but only for Bio and Physics (I think?). I opted not to take it, since the credits aren't transferable to most of the schools I'm looking at. As for us, we didn't take any tests directly from UCONN, but they had to approve of our curriculum, if I recall.

I know I'm digging up an old thread, but anyway...

Anyone on here take the AP Calculus BC exam (alt. form A)?

I e-mailed college board about one of the free responses (anyone who took it knows what I'm talking about), and I just got a reply saying that the solution was given. Whatever.

The question wasn't actually valid. If you look at the AP Course Description Guide, it doesn't mention anything about solving that form of differential equation.

Could you please post the question or email it to James_brown830@yahoo.com , it has been more than 48 hours and that is all you have to wait before you discuss the free response questions.

Unfortunately, that's only the regular tests. The alternate versions are not released, same as the multiple choice. I can't reveal the specific question, and AP can't share the answer with me.

We can talk about the question, but we can't reveal the question.

I had the same thing happen with Chemistry AP. Though there were no problem questions, I took an alternative form, so I couldn't discuss it with my chem teacher at all.

Jamie - please don't let it get to you. The BC exam is difficult, and I truly hope you'll get partial credit and I'm sure you did well on the rest of the exam.

What did you think of the Chem test? I understood most of the stuff, I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but I didn't feel that I did horribly. I'm just glad to get that out of the way, AP Chem was probably the hardest class I've taken in high school. Anybody else take the Chem test?
The only other one I took this year was Calc AB. That didn't even stack up to Chem.

I took both Calc AB and Chem.
The calc exam was easier than I thought it was going to be.
The chem exam wasn't what I was expecting because the multiple choice was harder than the free responses were. And the wording of some of the free responses was a bit weird. But chem was the hardest class and test that I took.
