High School Class of 2014

<p>I just really want to see my score now.</p>

<p>Well the AP covers the satii not the recipromahcayshun</p>

<p>I got a 750 on the subject test and I get an A in the class (also grade inflation). My teacher did prepare us very well. Electrochem wasn’t a bad FR, but I really want a 5. I’ll be really upset. The worst part is, my teacher is kind of expecting me to get a 5…</p>

<p>AP Bio percentage this year is miserable - 5%!!! I actually liked this test though, but maybe I was just high after finishing AP Lit that morning. I late tested after an emotionally exhausting week, so I can’t testify to my mindset.</p>

<p>Calc BC is just worrying me because I took the class - AB and BC in grade 10 and I did not really study much throughout the year because I was so heavily involved in other ECs. I was basically trying to revise formulas 10 min before the test. I condensed all of BC calc into 20 pages on a notepad :D. Of course, there were things I just didn’t recall how to do/took too much time.</p>

<p>I don’t consider myself imaginative mathematically, but I did well on difficult-ish tests. Maybe it’s maturity or something. One of my biggest fears is that I’ll do something because it’s all I know, not because it’s what I really want.</p>

<p>Ah well.</p>

<p>DONE </p>

<p>DONE DONE…
DONE DONE DONE!</p>

<p>just finished an assigned commentary in my online psychiatry course! It’s only about 500 words, but I finished a whole week’s work in hours to get it done!</p>

<p>blah!
off to bed
AT LAST</p>

<p>I also liked the new format of the AP Biology test. I didn’t think it was particularly hard, but given everything, I doubt I’m in that 5% who got 5s just because I’m definitely the top 5% of test takers.</p>

<p>I’m actually really worried about physics with no real cause. I mean it was hard.</p>

<p>Is the Bio test next year going to be the same as this year’s?</p>

<p>My class of 2013 friends are getting their scores early from their colleges. Im super nervous. Agh</p>

<p>Yeah, the AP Bio test will be the same format until some unforeseen time. (Probably will not change for at least two years). </p>

<p>People who live on the east coast + some other states get to see their scores on the 5th. I can’t so I only have one day to plan my apocalyptic survival on the 8th.</p>

<p>Where is everyone finding percentiles for ap?</p>

<p>Oh and I can’t believe these people are whining about AP chem. Try A level. You’d have a massive heart attack just from looking at one organic problem. Not to mention the practical examination. Good lord the horrible memories are coming back to me</p>

<p>I found percentiles here:
[2013</a> AP Exam Score Distributions](<a href=“2013 AP Exam Score Distributions”>2013 AP Exam Score Distributions)</p>

<p>The report for AP US History… “students tended to perform best on questions “Colonial-1789” and less well on “1915-present.””</p>

<p>Am I the only one who those the colonial-1789 FRQs were extremely hard? Seriously, it might have brought me down to a 4. But I personally just hate the colonial era so lol</p>

<p>AP chem 5 or Chem SAT 800 easier?
People at my school say chem SAT 800 is easier, but I find it hard to believe because:</p>

<p>AP chem has a generous curve to get a 5, whereas 800 SAT is about 5 wrong and no 800
Chem Sat has the T/F T/F CE questions
Chem SAT has more questions than minutes
Topic coverage (from the books that i’ve read) are about the same</p>

<p>what do you guys think?</p>

<p>I would say the 800 on the subject test is easier, because I got a 740 on the subject test and I probably failed the AP Chem exam. I didn’t think the subject test was as difficult.</p>

<p>Plus AP Chem has free-response questions.</p>

<p>Also, you can take the subject tests more than once, so there’s not as much stress, IMO. (You can take AP exams more than once too, but most people don’t.)</p>

<p>It’s interesting that AP Calc BC has much higher scores than AP Calc AB. Possibly because those who take BC are already stronger math students, or perhaps the curve is easier?</p>

<p>Self-selection, and a lot of schools don’t have Calculus BC. I assume the ones that have it tend to have better students than average.</p>

<p>That’s true. My school didn’t offer BC, so everyone had to take AB - I’m sure that’s fairly common at smaller public schools.</p>

<p>@vivendium I thought some questions on the colonial period were tough because there were some obscure events covered that I never heard of. Plus we learned about the era all the way back in the beginning of the year. Personally I love the colonial era though. My least favorite is the era of good feelings.</p>

<p>@ybrown I think that will be my plan as well. Bama does seem like a surprisingly nice place. The dominate Greek presence turns me off a bit though, and the surrounding city isn’t nearly as good as some other schools I’m applying to. Most importantly, the job recruitment is more regional there. If I wanted to live in the region following graduation that would be fine, but I don’t really.</p>
