OK guys a lot of people are talking about form difficulties. Im preety sure the form id (C,O) refer to only multiple choice and everyone gets the same frqs. These are the same frqs that collegeboard will release hopefully tomorrow to the public
No
The free responses are definitely different
I talked to someone else with form o and she had completely different questions…
Nope. 2 different versions of FRQ’s.
I had form O. To say the least, the free response was a struggle, and the multiple choice wasn’t too bad but it wasn’t easy.
Oh well. Hopefully I scraped a 4 but then again I have no idea if CB will curve enough to help me that much.
Does anyone know which form (O or C) was the general form, which they will release the FRQs for tomorrow, or do they release both? I thought they only release 1?
My whole class had O I think; if assume O is the generic form for all exams (I’ve had O for all three exams up to now, chem, psych, and calc)
O is the general version; CB only posts version O.
For anyone with Form O, did anyone struggle with the third FRQ? The one with the titrations? That was the only one I really blanked out on xD
I feel like I’m at least going to get half of the MC right, hoping that I don’t make any careless errors.
@Mochis1 Yeah that was rough…I forgot/didn’t know how to do it.
I took the exam yesterday, and I thought the m/c was not so bad, but the FRQ’s were horrible. My suggestion would be to practice FRQ’s from the previous years and to use both Princeton review along with crash course. If you find any specific topics that confuse you, try watching videos only from either :Bozeman science or thatchemdude. Those two instructors helped me the most. At my school, our AP Chem teacher was the worst because he didnt prepare us in any way, but as long as you begin studying about 3 weeks in advance, i think anyone can pass the exam.
@Hoonie: I’m hoping there are people in similar situations like ours, because I left that one nearly blank, which is bad since it was a long FRQ ._.
All I did was read the book to study, oops XD Our old AP Chem teacher went on her maternity leave at the end of first semester, which was good since she was a terrible teacher and she was replaced by a substitute that was fresh out of the Honors program from college and actually knew how to teach a college-based chemistry class xD
I’m hoping that I end up passing or doing higher, since then I would have done all of this tedious work for this class for nothing.
Okay so after comparing even more,
MC: Hopefully around a 40/50 to 45/50? (unless i made a ton of careless mistakes which is likely haha)
FRQ: Possibly a 35/46? Don’t know how harsh/lenient I’m being on myself…
Is this a 5?
@Mochis1 I had the most trouble with that one as well. I felt like I should’ve been able to do it but in the end my mind just blanked.
@Ninjadu The cutoff is 72, so yes.
@Mochis1 I totally blanked on that one too. And I studied titrations the night before the test! It was just a weird question I think
I really hope it was, seeing that everyone had trouble with that question. I mean, I definitely knew of titrations due to the lab that our class performed, but that question was just strange. I’m hoping the curve for this AP test will consider this, because I don’t want that to be the reason why I didn’t pass or whatever. :c
@Mochis1 Yeah I dunno, I’m desperately hoping for a four but I guess you never know!
Will the curve be around 72% again? Or higher because 15 more minutes were given on FRQ?
I’m not too sure. I’m guessing it just depends on the performance of all the AP Chemistry students as well as whatever factors the College Board will be implementing into it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it were around that percentage though, I highly doubt the curve will be much lower or much higher than it was last year.
It depends. My guess is it will be around the same.
