Re: AP Exams

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!

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.

Re: AP Exams

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.

Re: AP Exams

Was anyone else surprised by what the equilibrium problem was? Look at the history of what they have been, myself, a few other students, and my teacher were expecting a KP problem, but it wasn't, so they still haven't done pressure equilibrium since either 2000 or 2001. (I can't remember which) Overall, I felt pretty good about it, so I expect 4 or 5, but then again, it always seems that when I think I did well, I don't.

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.

Thumbs down Re: AP Exams

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.

Re: AP Exams

Are all the alternate exams harder? The people in my class who took the APES test on time said is was really easy. The make-up, however... myself and a friend of mine agree it was NOT easy. The multiple choice was alright, but the free response was insane. It might be only because our class never covered the material in one of the questions and only lightly touched on some other ones. Or, maybe they want to make them hard for some reason, I don't know.

I have also heard they're supposed to be harder later. I thought Chem AP makeup was easy but I'm biased because I fully plan to make babies with Chemistry as a subject sometime in the near future. It's an amazing subject.

But yes, as a general rule, Make-ups are harder.

Re: AP Exams

I heard the free response for APES was joke on the original. I wouldn't know considering that I thought the test was in the evening and not the morning.... That was a waste of $13 of $85 depending on how you look at it.
