hour of multiple choice that's like smart person reading comprehension. it's a serious step up from SAT reading comp but pretty much the same format

then 2 hours where you write 3 essays. one essay will be analyzing a poem, one will be analyzing a passage, and one will be writing about a book you've read of high literary merit and connecting it to the question

Really? I thought the exact opposite. Essays were tough, but I think the multiple choice were easy enough. There were some really obious ones.

AHAP wasnt bad.

MC was kind of a bitch.... i really have no idea how i did and i think i skipped 1 question (i hate skipping).

i went into it thinking i was not going to know what to write for the free response so i ended up spending atleast a solid hour writing a beautiful, 3 page DBQ.
then i went into the free response, realized that the one about women during the progressive era was the exact topic i had a debate on in my AHAP class, so i fucking wrote an epic essay in 20 minutes. Then i bullshitted one about the revolutionary war

im feeling a 4. maybe a 3 if i fucked up MC. maybe a 5 if im really lucky?

The multiple choice was not easy... wtf was the giant cambell's soup one?

Those essays were fucking easy though...i thought the dbq was going to be way worse but they gave you three supports in the question.

Overall, I hope i got a 4...maybe a five, but that would be a surprise.

At first I thought the DBQ was gonna be tough, but pulled it together for a decent essay. The free response though, not so much. I completely bullshitted both the Civil War and Population Movement ones. Whatever

pop art...thats like the only one i knew

essays were so easy

i beasted the suburbanization and immigration one...all about the containment policy leading to economic prosper in the states and people buying houses, cars, and appliances instead of stupid consumer items and it launched an age of conformity and the downfall was that the media planted the seeds of the disquiet and the youth rebelled, ultimately contributing to the huge divide of culture during the vietnam war. as for immigration, europe got its shit wrecked during the wars so most of the immigrants were middle class europeans and other immigrants after the war were jews but the us only allowed 300,000 of them to enter. downside turned into the slums that divided the 'great society'

yup same. I seriously bombed the whole thing, the soup can was the only multiple choice one I knew for a fact.

better than my friend, he wrote a short story about ballerinas, 15 poems, some pictures, and a countdown for his essays

im at the point where i have 2 choices:

1. give up. i cant make up for 50 chapters of bullshitting and cheating my way through my retarded bitch of a teachers shitty class. winging it with the studying i have done right now will get me a 2, if god loves me, a 3.

2. kill myself in the most gruesome way possible, something involving sharks with fucking laser beams on their heads.

If you are taking the AP chem test, check out this site http://www.sciencegeek.net/APchemistry/index.shtml

It has a note sheet and a powerpoint for every chapter of the zumdahl ap chem book along with programs for your calculator

Physics tomorrow.

I have not looked at anything yet, and my class ended 4 weeks ago. It should be a blast. At least we get the formula sheet for the free response.

My teacher said the first one would probably be ksp. Free response were pretty easy for me. The MC was probably harder. I felt confident on maybe 50 of them. Pretty good on 10 more or so and except for 4 wehre I had no idea I checked off at least 2 choices and guessed. I hope I get a 4 or 5.

yeah my teacher said it would be Ksp too. i hope i did it right? the fucking time with the calculator is so short.

for the Ksp, when you had to find the molarity in 50ml of water, you had to find like the moles using the 7.07x10^-7, then devide that by .05 to find the new molarity, right? it was like 1.4something?
ehhh, its just pissing me off that i blanked

Fuck I was wondering the same thing. I thought it had something to do with an ICE diagram but it didn't make sense so I ended up leaving it mostly blank. I absolutely destroyed the electrochem problem

I was surprised at the relative ease of the MC compared with some practice tests I took

I don't know if it was just due or if there were rumours but the teachers who taught a study class for it down at uncc thought it would be ksp too. Ksp is like the easiest of the equilibrium things to remember so it was pretty sweet.
I am also super glad we did thermo and electro in the two weeks before this test.

Ksp fucked me over. Other than that, I fucked chem over. I'm feeling a 5. I basically pulled the calorimeter stuff out of the page, inferred everything from stuff i inferred based on stuff... Turns out I did it right. Fuck yeah problem solving.

the beginning part of that one was easy as shit. insulin and glucagon fuck around with glucose levels. didn't know the rest but, whatever.

calc BC was okay, so we'll see.

Lang seemed easy as shit, but thats what everyone has said unfortunately so some people are going to get completely FUCKED for it.

that question fucked me over. i had like 45 minute left to answer it, so i wrote a song. im not fucking kidding you, a song. a Bio rap about me not knowing shit. i said insulin like 30 times so thats like 1 point. and then at the end i drew a pirate holding an icecream cone and wrote "your argument is invalid, this pirate is enjoying his ice cream yeaaarrrggggggh" ps: im sorry
