Physics make me throw up. Like..seriously.
If this year's testmakers put an electromagnetic induction problem in FRQ, I'm going to draw big circles and triangles on my page and die.

My teacher hasn't taught me one god dam thing this year. I'm trying my hardest to study w/ PR to learn ANYTHING but after looking at some MC and FR questions from past exams, I'm figuring the BEST I can do is a 3, and I'm probably gonna end up with a 2. If I do do that bad, I think I'm gonna cancel my score or something.

I have 4 AP tests next week...+ 1 I'm self studying for that I haven't really started studying for.

On the 1 practice we took in class..

44% raw on MC (no formulas = fail)
82% raw on FR (formula sheet saved me)

Darn I absolutely hate that class. I mean, I like it, but it's so freakin hard to understand all the concepts and memorize the stupid formulas for the MC part (which is COMPLETELY ridiculous).

This is what I get for not taking GT/Honors Physics and skipping straight to AP

Wow. Such optimism for physics lol.

I'm probably going to end up with a three, but if things go super well and I have a few revelations about induction and nuclear physics, I might get a 4 or something like that.

I agree that FRQs are way easier than MCQs. On the last one I took with no preparation I got -30. I dunno. We'll see how it goes. It'll be a crazy weekend...

How can I get access to the multiple choice questions from previous years. If I purchase from AP central, do then send it online or mail it? I'm in Canada so that could be a problem with time running out! Can anyone send me the MC questions? My school does not offer the course so I'm self-studying & will be the only one taking the Physics C exam.

Haha I'm in the same situation. Don't worry...physics B isn't that hard, although I guess it's kind of gay with no formulas :/

physics B has way too many topics for it to be a single AP test. It's ridiculous.

I hate anything to do with nuclear physics and magneticism. Anyway, I have a nice problem for you guys.

How much work have I done on the AP study system?
A. 0 joules
B. 10 joules
C. 20 joules
D. 30 joules
E. -10000 joules

B, you wrote the word "physics" which requires work

My teacher hasn't really taught us crap.

At this point, I'd be happy with a 2. Seriously.
