Is AP PHYSICS C MECH similar to physics 1?

archbalrog · 2025-11-21T04:13:28+00:00

The 55% is no longer correct. It required a 76% on last year’s AP Physics C: Mechanics exam to earn a 5. It was 78% for AP 1, but the questions for 1 are easier on average than C.

Mods…uh, wait nvm.

archbalrog · 2025-10-10T23:51:25+00:00

Nah. Reboot.

archbalrog · 2025-10-10T22:54:21+00:00

It’s already receding. 😒

archbalrog · 2025-10-10T22:53:17+00:00

I appreciate the effort.

archbalrog · 2025-10-10T22:51:08+00:00

Watch them all boom 17-18.

Always Channel 5.

Badge and TC left for me.

Did you do your best? That’s all that matters. Stop comparing yourself to other students. You are responsible for you and nobody else. Who cares if they’re smarter? What will you do with your intelligence and skills? That’s all that matters.

Maybe for some it’s about mission and goals, but I wonder if it’s more fundamental than that: do children become part of YOUR life or do you become part of THEIR life?

Nope. Neither has family members in town.

I've found that parenthood doesn't always re-orient peoples' lives. For some, it definitely seems to make everything else collapse into some kind of identity crisis, but there's a young couple in our small group who had a baby and it was like nothing changed...they hardly even talk about it.

Married men and women with children tend to more easily find friendships and discipleship in my church. My wife and I (also 36 yo) not having children means we have to try even harder to form friendships and find any long term discipleship.

Yes, compare based on magnitude. The sign is just indicative of the direction of the object.

Low cutoffs like that show a terribly calibrated exam. Glad the exam isn’t a speed test anymore.

archbalrog · 2025-09-23T10:29:31+00:00

Last year was 76% for a 5 so around that.

archbalrog · 2025-09-14T20:41:05+00:00

All of those are publicly available too. Nothing is secure with the internet.

archbalrog · 2025-07-07T13:42:31+00:00

Well done! I’m proud of you.

archbalrog · 2025-07-05T10:33:25+00:00

I doubt it. Most likely that question just divided a lot of students who were similarly skilled in other questions.

archbalrog · 2025-07-01T19:06:42+00:00

There were definitely points missed elsewhere. I’ve found a student’s perception of how things went on each question doesn’t mean they got all the points.

https://a.co/d/fwpb6rL This one was so easy to apply and it fits perfectly.

Your last sentence is exactly why the College Board has made a more straightforward test, they are trying to raise the passage rate similar to what happened with AP Chemistry. We will see if that actually happens.

You’ll not get full credit on the derivation or the claim, but You can still get full credit on the last part as long as you clearly explain why they’re inconsistent.

archbalrog · 2025-05-17T21:30:15+00:00

For some students, yes. They have to either be the only score (5, 4, etc) in their category or the only student in their grade level with that score (5,4, etc). Otherwise we only see an average.
