<p>I’m really really mad over today’s FRQs. Seriously, why the discrepency? I couldn’t even answer two or three of them, and BS’d the other ones, yet MC was really really easy. Then for other people FRQs were a piece of cheese…</p>
<p>I hope the curve is really low =/ I don’t even know if I answered 70% of the FRQs correctly…</p>
<p>we’re prob lucky they recently changed the test so the curve is prob more open to some “fixing”</p>
<p>personally, i wish they still had the option of choosing the free responses to do. now you just have to know everything.</p>
<p>dont ap grades actually come earlier than the third week of july?</p>
<p>Hi, I posted a thread, but not sure if many people will see it. Will c/p here:</p>
<p>FOR EVERYONE WHO TOOK THE AP CHEMISTRY EXAM PLEASE HELP ME OUT.</p>
<p>What were the specific procedures going into the free response section? What was allowed, what wasn’t allowed? Please answer that pretty generally, going into the calculator and transitioning into the non calculator, including specific instructions if you remember them. Also, to be more specific, were we allowed to use the green booklet during the calculator (first) section? Were we allowed to look at any periodic tables or equation sheets during that first section. There was a huge confusion in my testing room, because we were given a horrible proctor.</p>
<p>HELP ME OUT! thanks</p>
<p>im in the same boat as you serafina… i’d be lucky to get 70% of the FRQ right… but i feel like i got 65-ish on the MC, so that should help</p>

I have a question. I’m not particularly familiar with the scoring, but if I get around 40-45 MC correct out of 56, and did about 33% - 45% of the FR correctly…what would be a reasonable AP score? Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>My response:
To assume worst case scenario and best case to give you an average:
Ans-wrong-wrong(1/4)=mc raw which is over 75
56-16-(16/4)=36
36/75=48%
of the entire exam, this gives you a 24%
For the FRQs
33% correct=16.5% correct.
24%+16.5%=40.5%
This is the mid three range.</p>
<p>Your max score is done the same way (I already calculated it), which is a 50.5%. This is the lower four range.</p>
<p>If your very confident on your estimates, young, you probably got at least a 3. This sounds about whatever everyone did. Also, polls from my class (it only has 7 people.)
FRQs #-% avg answered of the question-% avg of what the class feels they got correct.
<p>I think if this is a true poll that the curve for FRQs will be about 50% on this version of the exam just like past years. But, we’ll see.</p>
<p>MC curve might be high though. They seemed a bit easy…</p>
<p>The exam was easier than I thought. Still did terribly.</p>
<p>The exam was easier, but not super-easy. Think I got 60-something on the MC, and around 75% of the FRQ</p>
<p>^that would be a 5 right?</p>
<p>are the free responses going to be posted after the 48 hours? or is that only when our teachers get them</p>
<p>approx 2 days.</p>
<p>What percentage do you usually need to get a 4? Is it 65% or 75%?</p>
<p>to get a 4? more like 55%</p>
<p>i think a 67% is a 5. For a 4 i think its like forty something percent</p>
<p>You need to get about 65% to get a 5.</p>
<p>Oh, nice! In my chem class, a 75% would be a B/4 and an 85% would be an A/5, so that’s why I was asking.</p>
<p>This thread is huge.</p>
<p>AP Chemistry is important.</p>
<p>AP Chemistry Curve:
MC*1.066667,</p>
<p>5 is 107-160 (out of 160 maximum)
4 is 85-106
3 is 61-84
2 is 42-60
1 is 0-41</p>
<p>FRQ</p>
<h1>1 20%</h1>
<h1>2 20%</h1>
<h1>3 20%</h1>
<h1>4 10%</h1>
<h1>5 15%</h1>
<h1>6 15%</h1>
<p>If the FRQ’s scores were distributed like this, question 1 has 9 points, 2 has 10 points, 3 has 9 points, 4 has 15 points, 5 has 9 points, and 6 has 8 points, according to 2008 scoring statistics Chemistry FR on ap central, then the muliplers would be:</p>
<p>(1+2+3)*1.71428</p>
<p>5*.5333333</p>
<p>6*1.411764</p>
<p>Add that up with your MC score, and that’ll be your grade.</p>
<p>From the few posts I read about it being too much concept based, I believe this is due to the Ti-NSpire. It does calculus for you, the solve key dominates ice boxes. </p>
<p>Removing this till later, don’t want to mess up my ap score.</p>
<p>EDIT: I was told by teachers that they re-use most of the multi choice questions, replace 1/3rd of them every year. Here is the distribution for last year.</p>

<p>Mean score being a 2.8, it would make sense for an easier test following that beast of a test, the largest % got a 1, and my friends that took it last year said it was the worst one they took.</p>
