<p>How will the Chem curve be for Form B? Similar to the test taken two weeks ago?</p>
<p>Also, at Predent, my AP Chem teacher apparently was called in order to help set up the cutoffs for 5’s/4’s/3’s. He definitely does not want to make the cutoffs as high as you suggest.</p>
<p>@NWIStudent Same here, she got an email asking her how many points each FRQ should be worth, and the cut off for each score.</p>
<p>@spiritkoi Really? I thought the point values were set in stone as 10 points for the first 3 and 4 for the last 4. Isn’t it unfair to the test-takers to change that? Say if they skipped a 4-point question because it seemed to take more time than other 4-pointers. Then, the teachers made it worth more than 4…it doesn’t seem right.</p>
<p>@NWIStudent The collegeboard will sometimes throw out questions that may be bad. I think they’re just asking teachers if any questions should be thrown out and thus what each FR should then be out of. </p>
<p>@NWIStudent Yep, on Wednesday she said she got an email asking her how much points each part should be. Obviously the head guys will have the final say; they probably just want some input.</p>
<p>^Interesting. Form B that I took today was MUUUUUCH easier than the form that you all took 2 weeks ago. I can’t say much about it, but it was much more like the old tests than the test two weeks ago was. </p>
<p>I think for the test 2 weeks ago, question 1 will be worth more than 2 if AP teachers have anything to say about it. Q1 was WAY too long. </p>
<p>Hey guys, I answered a couple of the free response questions in the space underneath the actual question, not on the lines provided following the questions. Is there a chance I might still receive credit for these answers?</p>
<p>I doubt it 
Sorry…</p>
<p>But sometimes they did ask you to put the answer in a box that was not anywhere in the lined pages part. We WERE supposed to put those answers there only, right? All I did was mention that I put those in the box on the lined part…</p>
<p>Anyone know when they are going to release the Free Response answers?</p>
<p>^After AP exams are graded, so probably late June.</p>
<p>My AP chem teacher (and I’m guessing other teachers too) got the free response answers today in an email. However, as for when they’ll be released online to the public, I’m guessing around the time the scores are released. So like early July. </p>
<p>arggh i want to know</p>
<p>I’m going to check this textbook out of my school: <a href=“http://www.ridgenet.org/District/Class/56-Jillian-Forestiere/1410-AP-Chemistry.html”>http://www.ridgenet.org/District/Class/56-Jillian-Forestiere/1410-AP-Chemistry.html</a></p>
<p>It’s the silver book with a red triangle in it. Do you guys think I can score at least a 4 self-studying off the textbook and probably a review book? Thanks.</p>
<p>You should be good with The Central Science. Make sure you don’t end up just reading the review book though. You also need to do many practice AP free responses and multiple choice.</p>
<p>@hiscbro Would you perhaps know which chapters I should read? The textbook’s pretty darn big, so I’m guessing, especially since they condensed the curriculum already, reading all would be nice but highly unnecessary.</p>
<p>@Newdle You basically need to read every chapter and stop at electrochem which should be chapter 22. You may be able to skip the first four or five chapters if you have taken chem 1 before.</p>
<p>@jimmyboy23 Thanks! Mine’s the 11th edition, though, so are my chapters slightly different?</p>
<p>@Newdle No, I have both the 10 and 12 editions. The first was for the entire class and then I asked for the 12 for a chem olympiad test. The chapters are almost entirely the same (same topic and same order) with some slight differences in wording and examples, but for the most part they are the same. The 12 just has better pictures and visual aides and more color. The book is really good and you can google for a free pdf of a solution manual for all the end of chapter questions. </p>
