Done with APs, finally! Physics went really badly, but at least it’s over now.
Good luck, @MissSuzyQ !
Should i make an official class rank thread where people can discuss the rank system and gpa and just stuff like that
@MissSuzyQ Good Luck!
I took the Barron’s practice exam for AP World History (the first one) and I got a 60% on the Multiple Choice. I noticed that most of my mistakes were causation errors, me not reading the question carefully, or me changing my answer last minute, so I’ll keep those in mind the next time I take a test. I haven’t done the essay yet but I think I’m going to get a 4. Hopefully the statements by some people that the Barron’s tests are harder than the actual exams are true…
@Greninja Lol, the prep books are much more difficult that the AP World History Exam. (I asked everyone who took the exam last year; the prep companies want to make money off us) If you want a more accurate score, you could take the 2002 or 2007 released exams.
Yeah, all the prep books I’ve used are harder than the actual exam, whether it be for Lang, Chem, or World History.
I’ve only taken one other AP test - AP Human Geography last year. I don’t remember the prep book being harder or easier - I think it was relatively the same - but I got the Princeton Review book. I got a 4 on the first test and got really nervous, but then got a 5 on the next one and then I became really happy and confident that I would get a 5 so I didn’t study. I ended up with a 4 (R.I.P.).
Thanks for your feedback though, guys. I’m still really nervous with the test coming up, with my school revealing everyone’s scores in public and all, but I’ll still try to prepare for the test. I just hope I don’t panic during the writing section. I hate timed writing…
@dsi411 Hey, how was AP Chem? I heard it was a killer. Any tips for a future AP Chem student?
@1LuckyBrave Yeah, AP Chem is pretty hard. I don’t have any special tips though. Just treat it like any other class: study hard! Some of the comcepts are hard so make sure you’re on top of things the whole school year. It’s not easy to learn last minute.
Ugh just finished AP US Gov and Politics. It was a lot harder than the practice tests, and I know I messed up on part of one FRQ and a few multiple choice…still hope I have enough for a 5. Good luck to anyone taking any exams throughout the test of the week!
@dsi411 Is the exam mostly math or concepts? I’m taking it next year and have heard it is a tough class compared to AP Biology which I am currently taking.
@greeneggsandsam9 I took AP Gov today too. Sooooo happy its over with!!! I thought the FRQs were much easier than the multiple choice.
I just took the AP French test and I cannot remember a single French word at this point. Gah how am I going to study for ap world with my brain like this?
@AnniiT It’s both, but to be able to do the math you must understand the concept. That’s why it’s hard–you have to know the appropriate mathematical way to find the answer in every situation, and you can only do that if you understand the concepts.
@Spiral7 Yea I thought so too. The multiple choice had confusing questions, and I thought there were some synonyms for common terms thrown in there.
@dsi411 would you say that it is harder than AP Biology?
@AnniiT I’ve never taken AP Biology, (or any high school biology, for that matter) but from what I’ve heard, it seems to be harder.
