Official AP Chemistry Thread (2014-2015)

It was super hard compared to previous years forsho. I had version C and the Absorption question was like wth.

Anyone have an idea regarding the curve? Estimates would be helpful

Can college board track us down? Lol that’d be pretty sketch.

Just curious… what changed from last year? Last year, this board seemed to go by the same rules as the SAT board, i.e. discussing is okay as long as you know that you are breaking CB’s rules and can get burned for it. Now it seems that isn’t allowed.

i personally felt like the multiple choice was way harder than the free response

@Xurian I took the AP Chem test today and the subject test last year after honors chem and honestly, I think I would do worse on it now compared to then.

I mean there is no point in talking about this, we can’t change anything and all the FRQ solutions will be put up soon anyways.

I had form O and to be honest it was not so bad, the free response questions were way easier than the 2014 questions in terms of length and what they were asking. The multiple choice was not so bad but I think it was more demanding in terms of logic. They integrated lost of topics throughout both sections and some of the multiple choice questions were ambiguous. My teacher trained us with 75 questions in 50 minutes but it actually took me 70 minutes to do the 60 questions. Any additional thoughts from anyone?

@glasshours TRUST ME, it is really hard to get a 1 let alone a 0, you will be fine :slight_smile:

did you guys think the multiple choice was hard as well

Yes.

The MC section was fairly easy (at least on my form) and there were only a handful of questions that I wasn’t sure about. The FRQs were fairly easy, but there was one part on one of the longer ones that I had absolutely no idea how to do. As long as sig fig errors are carried and they only take one point off of the entire problem I feel sure that I made a high 4 or a low 5.

Hey,

If I completely messed up one long FR (~3/10), and did poorly on another (2/4), and got around 5-8 MC wrong, would this be a 5?

I messed up one two questions on an FRQ and three or four MC’s but other than that I am pretty confident that I got a 5

Did we have the same forms as everyone else in our testing room? Or did they mix it up?

That was absolute death. I probably got a 1.

wait seriously? how is it fair for them to give two forms with varying levels of difficulty? … wtf

:confused:
Really sucks cuz I had two exams today and didn’t prepare as much as I could for each one. Also I felt like the multiple choice was like the practice exams I took, which I got 5s on, but the stress caused me to do bad… Plus I got form o and the free response questions were killer

GUYS, STOP ASKING FOR A DOC PLEASE. IT’S NOT ALLOWED.
