<p>I didn’t even attempt number 2 mech. When I had done what I could on 1 and 3 I just made a pattern with a ruler on number 2. Where the hell did number 2 come from!?!?!?!</p>
<p>^yeah! exactly my point, i dont even know what 2b meant! hopefully the curve will be pretty high because that is the ONLY hope i have passing.</p>
<p>MC: not too bad. i skipped 4, confident i got most of the rest right
FR1: easy but missed the last part
FR2: soo hard. but i got the last part.
FR3: missed one part at least.</p>
<p>if the curve is around 50%, then i maybe, just maybe (MAYBE MAYBE) got a 5.</p>
<p>for mechanics</p>
<p>ya…i agree with bluewatermelon</p>
<p>i did exactly the same thing, so i hope i got a 5 too, but only need a 4.</p>
<p>For those who are interested…

Out of 90 points, the scores for Mechanics used in 2007:
5: 59
4: 46
3: 35
2: 25</p>
<p>For E&M…
5: 51
4: 34
3: 27
2: 16</p>
<p>As you can see, quite generous for E&M. Hoping for a 5 on this one (already got a 5 on Mech last year, heh…) I might come back in 48 hours to talk about those FRs…</p>
<p>Lol wow…failed the E/M…hoping for a 4… 34/90? sounds doable
the Mech wasn’t too hard though. I think I got a 5. Then again, I studied for it a lot. But the #2 was just…***. total bs.
And FR for E/M was really hard…and weird. I didn’t get it. I didn’t get a lot of the MC either cause I didn’t really learn the conceptual stuff.</p>
<p>Mech part 1 : ok i did fairly well
Mech part 2: question 1 was ok, everything else was owned</p>
<p>E+M whole thing was a joke lol
especially MC</p>
<p>What? 2b was fairly straight-forward if you developed the right idea for 2a. Well, the equations had to line up but that’s about all I can say. I’ll admit I didn’t solve it but I got the general idea. 1 was pretty easy…interesting, but easy. Screwed up the graphs. :/</p>
<p>hmmm</p>
<p>Mech MC: pretty easy
FRQ: 1 was easy, 2 I stared at for 5 minutes and went off to do #3, then I came back and stared at it for another 10 minutes before figuring out what to do <_< </p>
<p>E&M MC: I didn’t answer 2 of them but other than that they were fine
FRQ: I hate light bulbs… other than that they were fine.</p>
<p>Personally, I thought the E&M was MUCH easier than Mechanics.</p>
<p>Yea, I’ve barely done any E/M this year, so I did really bad. I didn’t even know what to do, I just looked on my formula sheet and used the equations on there.</p>
<p>I think I heard the 07 mech was really easy, so there was a bigger curve. 98 was average, so the mark for a 5 was 55/90. I believe this years was harder because of #2, so I would not mind betting that a 5 this year will be a 52-53. There really is no proof other than hear-say to my estimate, but take it for what its worth?</p>
<p>That’s actually really reassuring newprov29, but I doubt it’ll be even that high because of how many people probably missed FRQ #2. I must say that there was a strangely LARGE amount of a fancy math in here. (I don’t know if I’m allowed to say it, but whatever is past trigonometry/pre-[fill in the blank]) I think I used the fancy math every page. -_-</p>
<p>I’ve been hearing rumors that this year’s Physics C exams were completely rewritten compared to previous years. Perhaps that is why the questions were like they were?</p>
<p>I’m glad to see you all failed Mech # 2, lower curve for us!!
Seriously, almost everyone bs’ed it.</p>
<p>And yes to the person who said mech 2007 was really easy, I got well into the 5’s when I took that practice test. This one was just…weird (and so was E&M).</p>
<p>Anyone else amazed at how many topics were not tested on the Mechanics FRQs?</p>
<p>I was amazed as well. I think the best way to describe this year’s Physics C exams is: WEIRD/STRANGE.</p>
<p>Mech #3 was completely random and worthless. And a whole FRQ on the topic of Mech #2 is unreasonable. </p>
<p>I agree with AxeBack - far too many important mech topics were excluded in favor of random garbage like #2.</p>
<p>Yeah redfirex67, I can believe that they were completely rewritten. It wouldn’t surprise me. It definitely was strange from the time I began it. It REALLY got weird towards the middle of the MC and in reference to FRQ #2 I thought FRQ #3 was kinda out there too, but not impossible to do.</p>
<ol>
<li>MC was really easy i thought (there were two weird ones, so I omitted those), so I’m feeling pretty good about that section.</li>
<li>FRQ 1 was really easy, and i was like YES this exam rocks</li>
<li>FRQ 2=■■■. I think i got most of it right or something but I just don’t know. It was a huge disaster</li>
<li>FRQ 3= Not as bad as 2. The first part was easy and it was a little weird during parts II onward, but I hope I got most of it right. I definitely made it past the 4 curve. Hopefully I’m in the range for a 5. Good luck to everyone!!!</li>
</ol>
<p>E&M was definitely much easier than Mech. Most of the questions were quite straightforward. Mech on the other hand had some tricky stuff like #2 where you had to think about what the heck they wanted you to do. The second part of the question was what led me to know what to do for the first part, lol.</p>
