| i thought the calculator MC was rather easy, non-calc MC was average, and i thought FRQ was challenging.. so i i'm hoping for a 4 somehow not really sure if i'll get that though haha | |

| first off, my school prepares us extremely well; last year, everyone got 5's except for one person, who got a 4.
i thought the multiple choice was really easy. again, it could have been because my class took much harder peterson and barron tests for practice. the frq was challenging, it was much harder than the other years. | |

| i thought everything was easy. though i admit the free response took more time than the MC.
I finished the MC sections each with like 20 minutes remaining or more. | |

| The multiple choice was VERY easy. The free response was not "difficult" so to say, but it was much tougher compared to previous years. Overall, I think I did pretty well on it, although our teacher was an idiot throughout the whole year and as a result my whole class did terrible on it.
Glad I taught myself everything lol. | |

| I thought the test, as a whole, was realllllly easy. I left 4 blank on mult choice, pretty sure everything else is right, double checked because i had time  . I skipped 4 though I could have guessed the right answer probably on 2 of them, just not takin chanced. FRQ wasn't bad at all, though they included a type of problem that isn't usually in the FRQ (not gonna say what typecuz of that college board rule thing), but it was easy nonetheless. Overall, i got a 5! WOO! Owned ittt. | |

| i took that today, and last year i took the BC one, i was suppose to take the BC one today too, but my school messed up and now i get to take it later.
BUT
i thought it was fairly easy and to tell you the truth i dont know much calc, because my teacher is retarded and cant teach anything at all. so we will see how i do.. last year my AB subscore was pretty bad but thats cuz i guessed on everything and didnt really write anything on the FRQ.
anyone taking, apush, bio, lang or psych? | |
