Official AP Chemistry Thread (2014-2015)

@shiftydraw thanks for the nightmares

Is 1c higher or lower ?

i wonder if there’s a specific saint you pray to for AP tests
because if there was I would definitely be praying right now to just get a 3 at least

@shiftydraw I’m basically in the same situation as you. Hopefully AP is somewhat lenient in grading FRQs :confused:

@CanisMajor @Mochis1 That question doesn’t even really need Le Chatelier’s, just the fact that Zn is forming ZnO using O from the air.

@FrigidCold: Wow if it didn’t even need that, my brain was just not functioning correctly. :’)

The graders aren’t supposed to have much deviation. Before grading the actual tests, they have them grade standardized answers so that they can balance them out.

@Frigidcold Well this is a surprise. Sup dude. Yeah I know but i felt that would be the best way to explain to mochis

@CanisMajor Hey :stuck_out_tongue:
@Mochis1 Same here, I read the cell explanation too quickly so I didn’t realize the O2 was coming from the air. Such failure.

Yeah I just meant in regards to explanations and whatnot they will accept a wide range of answers. Also I think if you make one error, they will use your wrong answer to grade successive parts of the question.

I apologize for my tired/half-assed/stupid responses, I just came back from swim practice and have wanted to stay away from AP Chemistry once I took that exam xD
@Frigidcold: I’m hoping I didn’t read/assume too quickly for all of the answers, because that can really jeopardize my overall score DX

IMO, scare tactic. Your teacher does not have the curve yet, because it has not yet been set.

Has anyone actually got their scores canceled for discussing ap exams on here?

Oh ok thanks for the info…now comes the wait

@kgsoccer08: I don’t think so. I haven’t. As long as CollegeBoard doesn’t know who I truly am, I shall further speak of this test, huehue

@kgsoccer08 Lol, http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/mathematics-computer-science/1773940-ap-calculus-frq-answers.html#latest

@kgsoccer08 FRQs can be discussed once collegeboard releases them

or unless someone posts here that he tweeted Trevor. Sometimes you guys make it too easy for the CB.

lol

For question 7A, did you guys use the formula q = mC delta T? Or did I screw up that problem, too
