Is sparknote's diagnostic ap exam tests similar to collegeboard ap exams?

<p>I just took the ap bio and apush test today. I scored a 4 on both of them. (For bio, i looked at some answers in my cliffsnotes book to rejog my memory, lol, but still i didn’t think i could get a 4. and i didn’t even finish studying any of them…almost done though…)</p>

<p>anyway, if I scored that on the diagnostic, do you think I have a good chance on the upcoming AP exam? Last year for ap euro, I didn’t really study, scored a 2 on the sparknote’s test, and got a 1 on the ap exam… yea, btw i thought i do good since I got an A. I guess my “arrogance” screwed me over…but I am going to redeem mysself.</p>

<p>so should I be expecting 3’s this time around? lol…I am studying really hard and am actually remembering a lot of stuff</p>

<p>*edit: yea i know the title is supposed to be “are…” just noticed that lol</p>

<p>bumpity bump anyone??</p>

<p>Here’s my diagnostic for the psych one:</p>

<p>“Test General Performance
SCORE
Raw AP Score: 79 out of 150
Scaled AP Score: 3
ANSWERS
You answered 44 out of 50 questions. You got 29 questions right and 21 questions wrong. You left 6 questions blank.
AP SCORE
About 60% of the students who score like you on the multiple choice section receive a 3 on this exam. About 30% of students receive a 4, and everyone else receives a 2 or a 5.
TIME
You spent 19 out of 55 minutes on this test.However, you left 6 questions blank. If you have extra time left over at the end on future tests, go back to the questions you didn’t answer. You might be able to eliminate at least one wrong answer—in which case you should definitely guess. It might earn you a couple of extra points.
GUESSING
You guessed on 10 questions, and you got 7 of them right. You have good guessing instincts, so you should keep on doing it. It’s helping your score.”</p>

<p>I’d say that’s pretty accurate. I’ll get back to you after I take the Calc BC one.</p>

<p>I would also try the ones on the collegeboard page.</p>

<p>I just started the Calculus BC one…and I don’t think I’m going to finish it unless I have time because it seems A LOT harder than the ?s on the collegeboard…and on the past AP exams.</p>

<p>Ok cool thanks.</p>

<p>anyone else? so I can get more opinions, lol</p>

<p>Bio is pretty similar (from what I remember); I made a 3 before any review–which surprised me. The APUSH test I am unsure about, but if the diagnostic test is anything like the test in the Sparknotes powerpack, the questions are slightly simpler but still a good indicator of score range.</p>

<p>The APUSH test was pretty similar from what I observed!</p>

<p>Ok what did you get on both for the actual ap test? and the sparknotes test is easier or collegeboard test is easier?</p>
