<p>I’m sort of worried about mine. My teachers are making them fairly difficult.
In my math class, we are measuring the measurable. So, we must measure the height of a barely visible tower on top of a mountain some 3-4 miles away using trig.
The math is easy, just that I live in an area that rains a lot, so it’s constantly cloudy. Very difficult to see the mountain.
We’re graded on accuracy, too.
Along with that, we’ve got an 80 question multiple choice test to take afterwards, in 55 minutes. </p>
<p>In my APUSH class, we are having a 60 question multiple choice exam and a 30-50 mixed question exam on the Presidents. We also have a random DBQ to write.</p>
<p>In APLAC, I have absolutely no idea what we’re doing for the final. My teacher never told us, and she’s coming back on Friday. Our final is the following Monday. </p>
<p>The other ones are fairly inconsequential…but still a lot of work. Projects, essays and presentations. Plus a host of exams.</p>
<p>But won’t people look up the actual height of the tower beforehand and then make the math go toward that?</p>
<p>Financial Lit: PowerPoint I’m already done with.
English: Two tests.
AP Bio: 100 MC questions and an essay.
Spanish: Test involving lots of different questions.</p>
<p>Darn it, I forgot about them momentarily and now I’m banging my head against the wall again…</p>
<p>Well, for my science and math class, we have no final, just the state standardized test (SOLs here in VA). Took science yesterday, math tomorrow. Then I have an English exam Thursday (easy) and a midterm for AP World (…well…). Standardized tests are easy, English will be a breeze, but AP World will be a challenge, my teacher makes things very tough. And in AP world today we had to take a unit test. So many tests. It’s just tiring, because we’re on an A/B schedule so I sit in 1st and 3rd for three hours, then sit in 2nd and 4th for 3 hours the next day.</p>
<p>My AP Calculus final was pretty easy. I got a 97% on the free response portion, and a 94% on the multiple-choice portion, both which were the highest in the class. This was not really bad since I forgot to study and I took the test with only about two hours of sleep. But I have a Honors Chemistry final and an AP Psychology mid-term tomorrow.</p>
<p>bio: recycled test questions with extra credit…75 question exam takes <10 minutes
physics: actual AP exam, was hard, but curved x6000
stats: easy
lit: actual AP exam but curved to patheticness
micro: actual AP exam but also curved and had extra credit, more easy</p>
<p>All A’s except for 2. Two of my finals, including one of the 2 that weren’t A’s, were HEAVILY curved: for one of them, if 60% of the students missed a certain question, that question would be counted right. I can’t imagine how many questions THOSE were in a 170-question exam. Add the 20 points he gave to everyone, and you have one exam more inflated than the German economy after WWI.</p>
<p>For the other one, we were supposed to write 2 essays (English exam): 1 was a full-length (5-paragraph) essay, and the other was 1-2 paragraphs. For the first one, I only wrote 4 paragraphs (no conclusion paragraph) and wrote 3 sentences for the second essay. How I got an 85 is beyond me.</p>
<p>And these are AP finals?
I haven’t had finals as easy as many of you are describing since freshman year, when I had no rigorous classes whatsoever due to school policy.
Honestly, I’m incredibly envious.</p>
<p>Instead of finals I had mock exams for GCSEs, like Deblerg, so they were all past papers. I found most of them very easy, particularly maths, (I had over an hour left) but had one horrendous English Lit paper where I had nothing at all to say. I wrote a page and a half in two hours in the end.</p>
<p>Math- I finished an hour early and sat there bored, but so easy
French- The room was hot and i got sick so at the end I was like screw it and completely guessed
History- My essay: 2 pages, everyone else’s: 8-9
English- Not too bad
AP Chem- so much easier than expected</p>
<p>AP Stats-very easy, first one done by long shot
Latin- A
Morality- very easy, nailed the essays
PreCalc- 2nd one done, very easy, but time consuming
Physics- this was quite difficult. no idea what I’ll end up with or what scale will be. ugh
2 more to go</p>
<p>AP Environmental - My teacher decided to make 30 out of 100 questions on things we didn’t learn and prolly wouldn’t know, lawd. I’m hoping for a B. </p>
<p>AP Chem- by the grace of god and Jesus I got a B. I shouldn’t have since I only got half way through the mc and pretty sure I failed my essays. And I know she didn’t curve it BUT IM HAPPY.</p>
<p>AP Calc BC - 6/10: 24 MC + 3 AP FRQ’s. Not awful but definitely challenging. I barely studied for it, but I only need a 90 or so to keep my A+. Hopefully, I’ll achieve my goal. </p>
<p>APUSH - 3/10: 54 MC in 36 minutes + DBQ in 45 minutes. I didn’t have time to study for it, but it turned out to be really easy for me (got a 98).</p>
<p>Physics - 3/10: It was basically a long test on Newtonian mechanics and the work-energy theorem. This is another that I didn’t have time to study for, but since it was basically just testing how well I could manipulate equations, I did just fine.</p>
<p>AP Latin - 6/10: 12 seen MC (based on passages we’ve read) + 12 unseen MC + 5 short answer questions + an essay. I thought both MC sections and the essay were really easy, but the short answer portion was surprisingly difficult. I should come out with an A, though.</p>
<p>AP Statistics - 2/10: While the test itself was definitely around a 5-6/10 level, our teacher decided to give us an AP-style curve in which a 70% was an A. As a result, I made a 100 pretty easily.</p>
<p>AP Chemistry - 7/10: 5 AP FRQ’s + 50 MC. I breezed through the FRQ’s but had significant trouble under the time constraints finishing the last 20 or so multiple choice. I ended up guessing on 3-4 questions in the end. Because people did so poorly on it (most people bombed a few FRQ’s), she gave us a 5-point curve. Ended up with a 99!</p>
<p>English 11 Honors - 1/10: 50 MC + 1 essay. She had already told us all of the MC in a game we had played earlier, and we were allowed to use our notes on the entire thing. Honestly, it’s a disgrace of an English class, and I’m ashamed that it’s so easy. But I’ll take what I can get, since my five AP’s can make life difficult.</p>
<p>I’m so glad I’m halfway through junior year!</p>
<p>I think my school is pretty easy in general. I don’t mind. </p>
<p>Financial Literacy - PowerPoint about a trip. We presented it to the class and I told a lot of dumb jokes and got 100% on it. I actually enjoyed public speaking for once.</p>
<p>English II Honors - Multiple choice, a few extended response questions, and a five-paragraph AP English prompt. I think I’ll do okay. </p>
<p>AP Bio - Got 100% on the multiple-choice from two days ago. Not sure about the essay. It was an AP prompt on cellular respiration.</p>
<p>Spanish II - All multiple-choice, involving vocab and filling in the blanks in sentences. Probably got an A.</p>
<p>I’m so worried.
Does anyone have any tips for memorizing all the presidents in order, including the party designation, number of terms, years of terms and significant events during terms?
For APUSH, part of the exam that’s on Presidents is writing that out, completely memorized, along with some multiple choice and matching.</p>
<p>AP Bio - Essay was easy, MC crazy annoying. 100 of them. Grade: 76/106, one of the highest in the class.</p>
<p>AP Calc - SOOOOOOO EASYYYYY. Like 25 MC and ~10+ short (long*) answer. Everyone did /terrible/ so she curved it by making MC worth 3 instead of 2. Grade: 120/100. LOL.</p>
<p>AP Lit - MC were hard as usual and liked the essays. Got ~3 MC wrong though out of 25 and got a 7.5 and an 8 on the essays. Grade: 4.5/5 - basically it’ll be put in as 90/100.</p>
<p>AP Gov - just took it today. MC, as usualllllll, sucked, but the five essays were all really easy.</p>
