@alldaboston I don’t really know; we really don’t need to talk about the ‘missing questions’ 700 times… a lot of people have given their opinions on it… At the end of the day, whatever happened happened. There is no way to know for sure, but we will all see our scores in July and know based off of those …
I hope we all got the 5’s we deserve, based on our hard work!
@cocolover123 actually we won’t know in July. We don’t get specific FRQ scores. And I was just wondering because I missed out on the talk about the missing questions when the FRQs got released. I don’t know what people have said really…
@alldaboston i just pm’d you back
do you guys think the curve will be higher or lower than last year?
@Dorfdude8 Only AP Calc AB and APES next year. I’m taking 3 dual enrollment courses too though. All AP is not for me.
@Messi4lyfe I would expect it to be about the same ~75%. Although we did get an extra 15 minutes this year, the curve is already very high. Also, many people thought it was easier than last year, but many people also thought it was harder.
I found last years to be extremely easy. This year was ok in my opinion.
@zach1198 you took it twice?
The FRQ’s on my Exam were COMPLETELY different than those released by the college board… Not a single question was the same or even similar… Any idea why?
@jamiepaige2 you probably had a different form . They only release the frqs for form O
@messi4lyfe no, but I took 2014 FRQ’s as practice
For 6a, I didn’t realize that the question was asking me to compare two of the compounds. What I did was take the two lowest, and say that because they had small cations and large anions, their melting points were lower than the other two. Would that get any credit?
For any of you with Form O, please don’t tell me I was the only one who got screwed over by the acid/base titration problem. 
On another note, probably got a 2 because I guessed on a handful of MC problems and BS’d a lot of the free response. But it doesn’t matter either way, probably gonna retake Chem 101 in college anyway. 
As someone on twitter tweeted after the AP Exam, “AP Chem titrated my butthole.” I agree.
SO BASICALLY I FAILED THE ENTIRE TEST YAY I DON’T LOOK FORWARD TO JULY
@puretruth I did the same thing lol
@puretruth @Messi4lyfe yeah i messed up that question too by not actually stating that one had a greater melting point than the other. I only said the comparison of the size of the cations and anions.
I feel like that FR was easier than last year’s but was trickier
If I don’t think I get a 5, and I think I get a 4, should I cancel my score and take it next year? I’m a sophomore so I still have a chance next year. Although getting a 4 will still give me college credit.
If you think you are going to get a 4, don’t cancel your score; it’s still really good and enough to grant college credit. Wait until July to see what you really get. Who knows; you may get a 5 instead.
If you’re still not happy with your score, retake the test next year, but don’t cancel your test unless you’re absolutely positive that you failed and that keeping the score will blemish your AP record. Keep in mind that AP scores aren’t really used for admissions and are mostly used for placement and credit, so there’s not too much to worry about, and deleting the score you will already have may do you more harm than good.
Besides, you probably won’t be taking the AP Chemistry course next year, so there wouldn’t be too much of a chance to study more/again unless you self-study, which may turn out to be tedious.
@puretruth: OMG I DID THE EXACT SAME THING AS YOU ON THE ANION CATION QUESTION! I thought I was the only one haha. I swear, the question should have been stated more clearly because it was soo vague
So I basically talked about the least melting point (LiI or something) and I compared it to LiF. AND THEN I talked about KI also but I didn’t really compare it another one. So I did more than needed I think. I have no idea how they’ll handle that.
Is anyone going to fill out an ambiguity form for question 1b on the FRQ?
By saying that you should justify your choice “based on the cell reaction,” it is implied that the only thing you are supposed to consider is the law of conservation of mass. If this is the only factor considered, the mass does, in fact, stay the same. But the cathode membrane is porous, constantly absorbing oxygen from the air to replace the oxygen that is reacted in the galvanic cell. Combining both factors, the cell mass should increase overtime. This question is ambiguous because the instructions given in part ii might cause students to consider only the first factor and come up with the wrong answer.
@Ninjadu The easiest way to justify question 6a was by comparing LiI and NaF. Both have +1 charges, but the melting point increases by over 500 degrees Celsius. You could have also used LiI and KI, or LiF and NaF. Because K and Na are larger atoms than Li, the lattice energy should be strongest in the Li compounds. However, the Li compounds have lower melting points. Unfortunately, this explanation fails to consider the size of the anion, so you would need to bring in a third compound. I have no idea why College Board limited justifications to two compounds.
