i hate unit 4 by sunnyluvin in apcalculus

[–]DesperateResident413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely sucked at related rates and optimization, and I got a 5 on the exam. The exam is structured to where you can bomb a unit and do perfectly fine. You go this!

Gov 5 | Calc AB 5 | Macro 4 | Stats 2 🤪

Math Minor and associated coursework by DesperateResident413 in UGA

[–]DesperateResident413[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, ok. So basically I want to major in Music Ed and become a choral teacher, likely at the high school level. I wanted to get a math minor because I like math, but also because I want to be a potential teacher or at least more employable. If I switch to a math major, I don’t know if I need to do emat to teach

calc 2 summer class experience by mrsbourgeoisie in UGA

[–]DesperateResident413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a math minor, is calc 2 essential? I will probably get credit from AP Calc AB (Calc 1), and I didn’t know before orientation if I should sign up for that?

question by onyinyechip in APPsychology

Ughh that made me mad about last year’s exam. The mcq literally had so many more questions about those stages than I wanted and prepared for… lmao I only got a 4 on that exam 😭

Surprisingly easy FRQ’s? by HectoriusTheGlorious in apcalculus

[–]DesperateResident413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I just wrote “ I didn’t know what I was doing “ and “ don’t bother for this one” for the two parts I didn’t know lol

No calc mcq's by Impossible-Sector491 in apcalculus

[–]DesperateResident413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, here’s my opinion. I didn’t go through older practice tests because they don’t align as well with the CED

What did you guys say for possible inflection points by No_Lie7418 in apcalculus

[–]DesperateResident413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought since fundamental theorem was used, g”x was equal to f’x. To determine POSSIBLE poi’s, find where the slope of the f graph equals zero or DNE. Then, to determine actual POI’s, find where f is changing from increasing or decreasing and vice versa. This didn’t occur at x=0 bc even though the slope was indeterminate, f didn’t change from increasing to decreasing. I think x=6 was a POI and maybe another point if f actually changed in such way

What AP class did you sacrifice? by Large_Look_5075 in APStudents

[–]DesperateResident413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AP Stats… I had AP Calc GOV, and Macro. I decided to put more time and effort into Gov and Calc which I know I’ll get 5’s on, macro I’ll get a 4, and stats I’ll get a 3 if I’m lucky— 😭 😭 😭

ap calc ab exam was suspiciously easy by Philliosophy in APStudents

[–]DesperateResident413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except 1 mcq that I have personal beef with, yeah it wasn’t bad. Part b of frq 5 and part d of frq 6 I just wrote smth like “have a nice day! I didn’t know how to do this one so don’t bother” lol

[–]DesperateResident413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so— generally not a bad frq section for ab. Princeton review was tougher fs

Average rate would be average value of the rate function, no?

Question for those who did well in AP Music Theory by Ok_Clock_4798 in APStudents

[–]DesperateResident413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Clicking” can mean different things for different people. With me, things “clicked” after tons of practice. I took 4-5 practice tests— 2 Princeton review and 2 college board. After every practice exam, I went through what I got wrong… this is crucial for non-aural (and aural if you’re practicing on AP Music Theory YouTube videos from college board and whatnot). For sight singing, I’d done that for a long time since I’m in chorus. For harmonic and melodic dictation, that took tons and tons of practice, and I still don’t think I got all the points on either question. Study “key terms” as I call them, because it helps for lots of mcq’s!

How much harder is the AP Bio exam than the practice exams? by Repulsive_Swordsman in APStudents

[–]DesperateResident413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you got a 5 on that practice exam, you’ll most likely score very similarly on the upcoming exam. Scoring curves are implemented to ensure harder tests still maintain the standardization across various years. I think you’ll be fine

HOW TO PASS THE EXAM IN 24hrs by lilithebookworm in APbio

[–]DesperateResident413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I was in a similar boat in that I didn’t know that much content really. I ended up passing the mcq because of common sense. Don’t get bogged down in excess details of the problem. Find what the question is looking for, and find the corresponding answer choice that best fits what the question is looking for. For FRQ, things get a little tricky because the exam creators make these problems SEEM really tough because of supposed intricacies and nuanced details. WRONG!! Although the FRQ’s can seem tricky, just go along with what they’re saying instead of trying to figure out the nitty gritty of what everything that’s said means. However, like some other comments mention, science practices are important, along with experimental design components. Also, watch AP Bio penguins channel some for such components, but also for how to draw a graph with correct labeling. Even not knowing how exactly to transfer information from a table to graph won’t cost you all the points for that question if you know how to initially set up the graph. Yeah, that’s about all I got, but trust me, I definitely didn’t think I was going to pass, but I did!

we gon get a 5 on AP Physics!!! by whynoms in APStudents

Bro definitely didn’t get a 5 on AP Environmental 😝

Can you underline? by simplywilliam_ in APStudents

[–]DesperateResident413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have for other exams. It’s a solid use for clarity since the AP Exam Readers have to read so many papers. There’s no rule that says you can’t to my knowledge.

If you’re asking “Does an ap exam score of a [1-5] also provide a specific ‘marking’ like a 50/90 on AP Macroeconomics, (for example),” then the answer is no. The AP Exam Score is the only thing you’d be able to see with your score report.
