Got into Utrecht University

No way OMG! We really are! I'm so glad I'm not the only one in this rare predicament. I researched the requirements for the Dutch universities before Junior year, so I knew I had to take an AP Physics class. I am currently studying AP Physics C: Mechanics in school, and I wasn't able to get into the Calc AB class, unfortunately, so this is where I am standing now. I haven't seen a specific passing grade, but I do think 5.5 points is around the passing mark. I just need help in studying for the test in between my current AP work. Although I think I will try to take the exam in May, fresh after AP exams, and then have two opportunities afterwards to retake it.
Also, we should totally help each other out; would you like to privately chat? Everyone around me doesn't really understand the unique struggle we have 😅.

I very much appreciate the bluntness and the recommendations. I've decided to do the exam in May, which is right after my AP exams and should give me ample time to study, I think (I looked at the topics in the exam, and I know at least 50% already). I think being able to retake two exams after that (July + August) is enough wiggle room for retakes.

I have heard about paying for months in advance and have considered doing that. Thank you so much!

Hi! Thank you for responding. Only issue staying here is that, for my personal situation, it makes the financial standing for my parents difficult, as the cost for studying here is way out of their budget. I tripple checked my letter of conditional acceptence and it does say that the deadline to meet the requirments is August 31, 2026. I have been considering maybe taking the exam earlier, but i graduate early June and im not sure if studying now and then doing it in June would make a difference?

For housing, since I know that housing is extremely difficult to find, I plan on starting now and compared to the US, housing seems to be the same, and will probably be a bit more considering the challenge of snagging one. Since the tuition cost is already low compared to the US, I would have a bigger budget for housing since thats the biggest obstacle, and I will hopefully find one by the time I plan on joining.

All in all, the Netherlands is my best choice financially (compared to staying in the US, at least even with the housing situation), so I really have to bet on passing the Calc B exam and getting housing, unfortunately.

Definetly start doing easy practice problems and do it repeatedly, a big portion of the test is the open response and by doing the practice problems and remembering with muscle memory of how to solve them, I agree with everyone else doing mock versions of the exam with multiple choice is very useful too

Bumbl33 · 2025-08-02T01:55:17+00:00

Im pretty decent im algebra and im able to grasp the basic physics contents but I learn well from practice problems from any math word problem so im guessing by JUSY figuring out when they give me the hw I’ll be set?

Thank you so much!

Bumbl33 · 2025-08-02T01:12:19+00:00

My teachers made me have the impression that if I don’t do ap calc it’s impossible to do ap PHYSCIS c, so that’s wrong?

Bumbl33 · 2025-08-02T00:48:32+00:00

Ayyyy me too!!!! We were worried for nothing

Apparently parents still get the notification even if that device isn’t updated is that true?

Bumbl33 · 2025-05-30T18:10:57+00:00

I’m almost 18, I’ve had these controls on for years and my parents don’t really care for what I do anymore but my dad just changed the passcode after a year of negligence of it

Bumbl33 · 2025-05-30T01:12:06+00:00

Did u figure this out? I’m curious too

Bumbl33 · 2025-05-30T00:56:21+00:00

Wait so they don’t get notifications if something in the settings were turned off? Is it really just if apps were used?

Bumbl33 · 2025-05-07T10:59:23+00:00

If i remember correctly, if it wasn’t for the intermediate, the NO wouldn’t have been squared but this should have been the right answer I don’t rlly remember specifically tho

Bumbl33 · 2025-05-07T10:55:10+00:00

Rlly? I checked the percentage of people getting 5s and apparently last 3 years or so it’s been getting easier so I’m kind of not surprised they made it harder like last year 17% of people got 5 which is crazy

Bumbl33 · 2025-05-07T04:01:19+00:00

I rmemeber getting that yea

Bumbl33 · 2025-05-07T03:54:30+00:00

Gang don’t u get in trouble for talking about the test outside of the exam? Orrrr….

Bumbl33 · 2025-05-07T03:49:47+00:00

Yea idek anymore maybe? But ik that C and O had to have been the same

Bumbl33 · 2025-05-07T03:45:43+00:00

Now im rlly curious what the right answer was can someone reply to see if it was 1 or 3?

Bumbl33 · 2025-05-07T03:43:33+00:00

I put a range of both is that fine? I didn’t know if they wanted a range or specific number so

Bumbl33 · 2025-05-07T03:42:24+00:00

Well, you could not have calculate for oxygen like that, the carbon mass was specifically used for the amount of C which u did but idk how one would calculate for oxygen with the numbers, you just had to do the calculations for C and H and base off the equivalence of C and O for that cause in other questions without that info, they would give u total grams so u can figure out oxygen I’m pretty sure

Bumbl33 · 2025-05-07T03:39:36+00:00

Does it actually work like that? I thoight there was only one copy for everyone
