AP Physics final

aretardedorange · 01-27-2011, 12:28 PM

I have my physics final in 30 min I am going to fail.

. I was supposed to take it last year in June but I got sick so the makeup test takes place 6 months later in other words the makeup test is today.

Meanwhile I forgot everything I learned and its a big course AP Physics. I tried looking over my notes for the last 2 months but I don't remember this shit. Feeling like a retard right now.

B? C-Mech? C-E&M?

If it's B, don't sweat it.

If it's Mech, just remember F=ma and you can't push a rope and you're good.

If it's E&M, run and hide, you're f'd anyways..

aretardedorange · 01-27-2011, 12:31 PM

Its B.

JayKay335i · 01-27-2011, 12:33 PM

AP exams mean nothing but free college credit (not that that is a bad thing).

Don't sweat it, just means you'll have to take all of the core requirements once you get to college.

JayKay335i · 01-27-2011, 02:33 PM

Most colleges wont take AP credits if it applies to your major. So unless hes a non-science major, it will most likely count for nothing.

All I got out of my APs in highschool was 6 history credits and I started calf a year ahead

yakev724 · 01-27-2011, 03:09 PM

I remember taking both Cs, I was the only one in my school taking them, the class wasn't even offered lol Ended up with a 5 in mech and 4 in e&m, but was expecting 4/3 or 3/3, I think you need something like a 60% to get a 5, something ridiculously low since everyone fails it.

Good luck!

BrokenVert · 01-27-2011, 03:27 PM

^it's was a 52 for a five when I took the physics C AP

aretardedorange · 01-27-2011, 04:25 PM

I failed

. fuck now i get 6 more months to study. Funny how I passed the class with a 93 but on the final failed. Study session guys?

How did you get an AP grade back that quickly?

double_j · 01-27-2011, 04:39 PM

What's even funnier is that they give multiple chances to take the test.

When I did AP classes it was one and done. If you didn't get any credit the first time, there were no second (or third) chances.

This was a school final for the AP physics B course. Not the AP exam. To take the AP exam you need to pass the school final.

I was ill during last spring when the test was first administered and rather reschedule it in August like most schools we take make up tests in January. These tests are just like the AP exam...consider them practice AP exams but they are graded out of 100 points.

I know I did terrible because I guessed on 1/3 of the questions. This spring is going to be hell 7 finals and 5 AP's. I should have never took AP Physics but in order to take AP Chemistry you need to take AP physics. And in order to take AP Bio you need to take AP Chem.

BrokenVert · 01-27-2011, 06:21 PM

Wait you take physics, bio, and then chem? Weird school

In order to take AP Chem you need to have taken either AP physics or honors chemistry. If I took honors chem instead of AP physics last year I wouldn't be in this situation.

I just took AP stat in HS then enjoyed 4 semesters of Physics at college.
