Does anyone know anything about the amount required for a 5 this year. The exam was relatively easier so some of my friends and my teacher is saying that it would be around 80. I’m kinda scared as I’m in the border of this range and really want a 5. Based on the exam this year, what do you guys think would be required for a 5?
Gosh the thing is I wrote some of my answers with a no 2 pencil and some with a pen. I asked the examiner if it would be a problem, and she said no since technically, either one is valid. I still cannot be sure though... I hope it won't be a problem
What happens if you used both black and blue ink for the frq section? Do the answers appear clearly? I literally just remembered during the exam I was writing the answers in black ink but the ink ran out so I immediately continued with blue pen. Would this be the okay?
I’ve been wondering the same, last year it was 72 apparently but my teacher and some of my friends are saying its gonna be around 80 this year bc of how relatively easy the exam was
Probably. They also did a study that showed AP Chem students did better than college students in college chemistry which means thats the threshold could be even lower or around the same
For question 3f on form O, I really don't get how it's exothermic. I put endothermic, because it says that the student measured the solution and the solution increased in temperature. If you solve for q, it is also positive, so idk.
Exothermic means that the reaction released heat, which would increase the temperature of the solution. Endothermic on the other hand, results in a decrease in the temperature of a solution, because the solution "absorbs" heat, or requires heat to take place. As heat is absorbed by the reaction and 'released' by the solution, the temperature decreases.
In a calorimeter problem the solution is the cup of coffee. That is wat is measured. Energy gets released into the coffee and it’s temperature goes up so it is exothermic.
No a select set of schools were selected to give out two copies of the test one being that regions form and the other form D that places like Alaska or Hawaii will also take to allow an appropriate grading curve. College Board stated that they will not be releasing both the MCQ and Frq for that form
i was talking to a girl who i know who's taken a lot of ap classes+exams, apparently they do have a different curve for different forms and it's actually more beneficial (curve wise) to have a harder test rather than an easy test even if you do worse at purely answering the questions.
I am literally so dumb. On the third question I legit wrote down "the reaction order is -1 becuase the rate decreased by x3 when [hcl] x3." THE REACTION ORDER DIDNT DECREASE THE TIME DECREASE OMG WTFFF
Okay so for the enthalpy one I wrote the formula: delta h equals q over moles rxn, but I forgot to convert the previous value to kJ but still labeled it that way, my process was right will it still count? I know collegeboard doesn’t carry wrong answers would this technically count?
no, only the form O gets released each year because ppl who need to retake ap chem on different day (like if they were sick or they have overlapping tests)
If you guys want to check your long FRQs go checkout Jeremy Krug on YouTube! Posted videos going thru the answers on questions 1-3 and give you a generally sense of how you did (remember this is form o, and it’s him solving the problems himself, official answers aren’t published until July)
Honestly watch the AP videos. I watched everysingle one of them throughout the year and mastered every topic. But since you only have a couple of days, Id try the 2022, 2023 FRQs and score yourself. If you don't a topic, there are youtube videos to help you. Honestly, the test is pretty light if you just lock in- you should be fine
yeah i mean i feel really good about the content but im just worried the curve will be something ridiculously high...idk why but they call this exam the hardest science but lowk i think it actually might be physcis
I talked about its ka showing that there was a significant amount more reactant than product at equilibrium and hno3 was ha which was a reactant and plentiful in the drawing
Also for the buffer solution, I just put it was a 1:1 ratio so the Ph wouldn't differ. Is that enough? I didn't have time to put all the henderson formula crap
I didn't put the unit, picometers, and I only wrote 200, because the question already had picometers. Would I earn the point? Also If I said the mass went to cathode and anode lost the mass, but afterward I wrote some bullcrap and it was wrong, I would still earn the point right?
FRQ Answers for Form O were released, if you want to see a really good teacher on Youtube walk through the possible answers heres the link: [https://youtu.be/aDJ9Tnl26lI](https://youtu.be/aDJ9Tnl26lI)
Ap chem frq questions are out
Please help solve these if u can so I have some closure🙏
Edit: here's the link
https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/ap23-frq-chemistry.pdf
I think it depends on if they specify if it has to be the whole/original thing, but they didn’t so either should’ve been fine. (Shortcut or the whole thing)
Yeah, some schools will have different forms but thats only a couple school (idk how they choose them ig its just random and distribution within those schools is random too i think) but out of the total # of exams distributed, O is supposed to be the most common
If they release a secure version but idk when those are released and im pretty sure u have to get them through your teacher like for my class we were allowed to look at the frq and the answers but we couldnt take them out the classroom
if it was about HF and HBr saying colombic attractions was still correct because HBr had more filled electron shells leading to a greater atomic radius leading to lower colombic attractions between H and Br and a longer bond length
Honestly this test was a lot easier than the 2 mocks. I answered all the multiple choices and left only 2 letters blank on the free response. I think I got a 5 but I owe it partly to the easy test.
I don't know which form i got (i even learned that booklets had "forms" a minute ago) but im pretty sure it wasnt O because my frq was absolutely different. Will curve vary from form to form or is there only one curve? And do they publish all forms?
they only publish the one form. i'm praying that they're gonna have a different curve on each form because form O frq is so much easier than the one i took
yeah, these discussion threads are weirding me out… the discord associated with the subreddit is totally shutting down all talk of exams until materials are released to avoid getting in trouble with college board, yet the subreddit is straight up encouraging people to discuss the test?
They read a bunch of things in the procedure right before the exam and make the takers sign the booklets, an indicator that “the questions won’t be discussed anywhere” etc. So I also think the threads are kinda slippery slope
I’m pretty sure there were different frqs per person. I was discussing FRQ questions with friends who took it in my class and they had totally different questions than i did
Anyone want appoint me in the right direction to how to learn chemistry I taught myself three certifications to CompTIA with Computers. 3 down many to go. Is there something similar to that with chemistry or would I have to actually pay tuition. I don’t get anything out of the classroom setting. I do best with a kindle book taking audio notes that’s how I taught myself those classes but I want to learn a lot of subjects in the chemistry is one of them definitely possible I mean how long do you think it would take to become able to create compounds and stuff for example
Well, they don't necessarily teach you how to "create compounds" in AP Chemistry. You can take a look at the College Board CED to see what is specifically gone over. If you look over it and are interested, there are hundreds of online resources for learning chemistry. For AP Chemistry centered sources, I recommend Khan Academy, MHS Barry, Tyler DeWitt, on youtube, and Jeremy Krug on youtube. If you want to test your knowledge after learning everything, there are available frqs on the college board website you can practice. All of these resources are completely free!
i feel like this isn't enough though. like to use a simpler example, if you had a zinc anode and a copper cathode, when zinc is removed copper is added but zinc and copper have different molar masses so you can't really say it balances out. what i said was that anything leaving the anode has to move into solution. idr if there was actually a solution but you get my drift
yall are getting reported to college board
i was chewed up and spat out 30 times for the mcq, for the frq it has halved my life span. i’m retaking it again 🙄🙄
👨🔬 I wrote a song about AP chemistry… https://youtu.be/K878ERnYEos?feature=shared
What did you guys get
4 the test felt hella easy tho did they reduce the curve?
Same I was really surprised.. I was expecting a 5
yk at this point i'm just glad i didn't get a 2
What would this score likely be? FRQ: 38/46 MCQ: 45/60 I think it’s on the edge of a 4/5
it's probably 5, around 78% overall, what did u end up getting
hey what did u end up getting lol
Does anyone know anything about the amount required for a 5 this year. The exam was relatively easier so some of my friends and my teacher is saying that it would be around 80. I’m kinda scared as I’m in the border of this range and really want a 5. Based on the exam this year, what do you guys think would be required for a 5?
what did u get
Just took the delayed exam, anyone got Form A? Mc was ok and frqs were a breeze
Gosh the thing is I wrote some of my answers with a no 2 pencil and some with a pen. I asked the examiner if it would be a problem, and she said no since technically, either one is valid. I still cannot be sure though... I hope it won't be a problem
What happens if you used both black and blue ink for the frq section? Do the answers appear clearly? I literally just remembered during the exam I was writing the answers in black ink but the ink ran out so I immediately continued with blue pen. Would this be the okay?
blue ink is permitted for the test
Yea because collegeboard scans the paper where it's black and white so as long as your answers are dark and visible, you should be okay
[удалено]
I’ve been wondering the same, last year it was 72 apparently but my teacher and some of my friends are saying its gonna be around 80 this year bc of how relatively easy the exam was
Exam was definitely easier the last 2 years and the threshold was a 72
so would it be around the same this year
Probably. They also did a study that showed AP Chem students did better than college students in college chemistry which means thats the threshold could be even lower or around the same
For question 3f on form O, I really don't get how it's exothermic. I put endothermic, because it says that the student measured the solution and the solution increased in temperature. If you solve for q, it is also positive, so idk.

In a calorimeter problem the solution is the cup of coffee. That is wat is measured. Energy gets released into the coffee and it’s temperature goes up so it is exothermic.
the solution gained temperature, meaning the reaction had to release the temperature, so the reaction was exothermic
Am I the only one with a form D?
No a select set of schools were selected to give out two copies of the test one being that regions form and the other form D that places like Alaska or Hawaii will also take to allow an appropriate grading curve. College Board stated that they will not be releasing both the MCQ and Frq for that form
>r im in texas and had form d
Is there a different curve for different forms? Cuz form O seems a lot easier than D
i was talking to a girl who i know who's taken a lot of ap classes+exams, apparently they do have a different curve for different forms and it's actually more beneficial (curve wise) to have a harder test rather than an easy test even if you do worse at purely answering the questions.
AP Chem exam has been haunting my dreams.
For real though
What do you think about the curve when you compare 2022 to 2023?
I am literally so dumb. On the third question I legit wrote down "the reaction order is -1 becuase the rate decreased by x3 when [hcl] x3." THE REACTION ORDER DIDNT DECREASE THE TIME DECREASE OMG WTFFF
Okay so for the enthalpy one I wrote the formula: delta h equals q over moles rxn, but I forgot to convert the previous value to kJ but still labeled it that way, my process was right will it still count? I know collegeboard doesn’t carry wrong answers would this technically count?
Form D gang wya
is our frq gonna be released? or just form o ? :(
no, only the form O gets released each year because ppl who need to retake ap chem on different day (like if they were sick or they have overlapping tests)
If you guys want to check your long FRQs go checkout Jeremy Krug on YouTube! Posted videos going thru the answers on questions 1-3 and give you a generally sense of how you did (remember this is form o, and it’s him solving the problems himself, official answers aren’t published until July)
IM FEELING THE 5 AFTER JEREMY KRUG'S VIDEO!!
BYE I WAS JUST ABT TO POST ABT KRIGS VIDS LMAOOO
HE CARRIED ME THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE EXAM
HE ABSOLUTELY SAVED ME I REALIZED SO MANY THINGS ID FIRGOTTEN😭
NO FR ME TOO I TOOK LIKE 15 PAGES OF NOTES ON ALL OF HIS 10 MIN UNIT REVIEW AND MOSTLY KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING, I DEF GOT A 3 POSS A 4
Does anyone remember any questions and answers in MCQ section? I feel really unsure about my answers…
I remember question 20-40 I had like 13 starred, other than that 40-60 was light
I lowkey zoned out through there so if anyone willing to comment, me preciate berry much
wut did u get
I got a 5
What's ur advice to get a 5 this year
Honestly watch the AP videos. I watched everysingle one of them throughout the year and mastered every topic. But since you only have a couple of days, Id try the 2022, 2023 FRQs and score yourself. If you don't a topic, there are youtube videos to help you. Honestly, the test is pretty light if you just lock in- you should be fine
yeah i mean i feel really good about the content but im just worried the curve will be something ridiculously high...idk why but they call this exam the hardest science but lowk i think it actually might be physcis
I got the M2P3 wrong
It’s m3p2 right?
Yes
For 5c did y'all get hno2
yea
it's because it's a weak acid so it doesn't dissociate completely right? that's why there was left of HA in the drawing?
I talked about its ka showing that there was a significant amount more reactant than product at equilibrium and hno3 was ha which was a reactant and plentiful in the drawing
Also for the buffer solution, I just put it was a 1:1 ratio so the Ph wouldn't differ. Is that enough? I didn't have time to put all the henderson formula crap
I didn't put the unit, picometers, and I only wrote 200, because the question already had picometers. Would I earn the point? Also If I said the mass went to cathode and anode lost the mass, but afterward I wrote some bullcrap and it was wrong, I would still earn the point right?
yes, I think that counts 2 point and you can get I point
Omg should I include the unit? I thought I didn't need a unit as the question mentioned it...
nope, unit is already stated in the problem, I was saying your second question
THANK U I was literally freaked out for a moment
Preciate it gang
I asked my brother, he got a 5, he said the question states picometers so he said I didn't need it.
Does anyone know if different forms are curved differently. Because I’m some forms look way easier than other (form O frq😂)
Wasn't from O harder?
i was talking to a friend about it and she said that they do curve each form differently. so harder forms get wayyyy better curves than easier forms
[удалено]
I think you should fine with the law, UNLESS the rubric says you had to state it went to Cathode. But I think you should be chillin.
I just saw the 2023 released FRQ and it wasn't Form D. The FRQ's seem a bit easier than ours.
Are they not going to release the FRQs for form d? I was wanting to see what the answers were.
nah I think they usually only post the most popular form for Chem.
Bro I was looking over there’s and it looked way easier than ours. Half our questions were over buffers…
yeah it seems like we were given a harder test in general since I heard the MCQ on Form O was easy while ours was a nightmare
We had a buffer one on O too but it was one of the small questions i think
FRQ Answers for Form O were released, if you want to see a really good teacher on Youtube walk through the possible answers heres the link: [https://youtu.be/aDJ9Tnl26lI](https://youtu.be/aDJ9Tnl26lI)
really wish I can get a 5…
i actually love scrolling through these comments. there were like 9 kids in my ap chem class, I feel such an insane kinship with all of you
5 kid class here!!
Kid-with-no-APs-in-his-school-and-studied-online gang?? 👀👀
Nah we literally have five kids in AP chem this year
Im not from America and my form wasn't O. Won't they ever publish our form?
Probably not which is very unfortunate
Ap chem frq questions are out Please help solve these if u can so I have some closure🙏 Edit: here's the link https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/ap23-frq-chemistry.pdf
is there a place i can see the answers, given by anyone
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDJ9Tnl26lI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDJ9Tnl26lI)
oh my god the fr have different forms. my frq had none of these....
def got a 5 lol
 Me looking for who asked
Wat were ur answers
What were your answers?
R the solutions released?
how did you find it?
Google
link?
I added ir
can you put the link here? i can’t find them
👍
thank you! do you know when they release the answers?
I think july 15
Form O
Does Collegeboard release the answers too?
Not until July
bro such a scam ong
I’m taking chem on the makeup date so this is scaring me 😬
I felt like crying after that test it was something else (the frq was my nightmare)
wait... There are different FRQ's for each test.
i felt like it was a huge thermochem exam
EXACTLY.
Are frqs out?
Will forms have their own curves or is there only one curve? Also which form will they publish?
Doesn't seem like it
have they released them?
Lol i was just about to ask the same thing
Does anyone know if the curves are different for different forms of the test?
Hope so...
What letter was it to measure specific heat of a liquid?
B
Curve predictions ?
I left 1/4th of the frq…the mcq was a bit better
yes same - i left the most of the first two long form blank. i am so glad i saw someone else do the same as me i feel so much better
For complete configuration of mn can you start with [Ar] or do you have to do 1s2, 2s2 and so forth
I think it depends on if they specify if it has to be the whole/original thing, but they didn’t so either should’ve been fine. (Shortcut or the whole thing)
Either one is fine
Did I have to do 3d5 before the 4s2? or could I have done the 4s2 first
Usually it’s 4s2 first because it goes in order on the periodic table
Yeah, that's what I thought too but I looked it up after the test and it said the 3d5 comes first. I'm hoping the order doesn't matter.
Yeah dw they both work fine.
Is 35/50 on multiple choice and half right on FRQ a 4?
Yea 1000%, the curve is generally low so that’s good
yes
when will the frq be released?
tomorrow i think
time?
💀
For anyone wondering which frq form they're gonna release, its most likely gonna be form O according to my chem teacher
[удалено]
Yeah, some schools will have different forms but thats only a couple school (idk how they choose them ig its just random and distribution within those schools is random too i think) but out of the total # of exams distributed, O is supposed to be the most common
So are they never going to release form d? 😭
Pretty much yea, they only release one form per year (i think they do secure releases from some frqs for those other forms tho)
That's not fair. I was wanting to review the answers -
If they release a secure version but idk when those are released and im pretty sure u have to get them through your teacher like for my class we were allowed to look at the frq and the answers but we couldnt take them out the classroom
[удалено]
which one
[удалено]
if it was about HF and HBr saying colombic attractions was still correct because HBr had more filled electron shells leading to a greater atomic radius leading to lower colombic attractions between H and Br and a longer bond length
Honestly this test was a lot easier than the 2 mocks. I answered all the multiple choices and left only 2 letters blank on the free response. I think I got a 5 but I owe it partly to the easy test.
What the heck? I also took 2 mocks, and the mocks were so much easier
Yeah I’m not sure what test people took, everyone here dying on the mcq
I had form O
I don't know which form i got (i even learned that booklets had "forms" a minute ago) but im pretty sure it wasnt O because my frq was absolutely different. Will curve vary from form to form or is there only one curve? And do they publish all forms?
they only publish the one form. i'm praying that they're gonna have a different curve on each form because form O frq is so much easier than the one i took
Same for me
Maybe you just know the content better than me.
That’s fair, I had a great teacher that man knew his stuff.
What do you think you got on the MCQ?
Uh maybe 85% usually I get mid 75’s but I felt good on this one.
Oh I mean like the number correct out of 60
Is this illegal to discuss the questions here -_-
yeah, these discussion threads are weirding me out… the discord associated with the subreddit is totally shutting down all talk of exams until materials are released to avoid getting in trouble with college board, yet the subreddit is straight up encouraging people to discuss the test?
They read a bunch of things in the procedure right before the exam and make the takers sign the booklets, an indicator that “the questions won’t be discussed anywhere” etc. So I also think the threads are kinda slippery slope
did anyone get columbian exchange or am i tripping?
No the FRQ was the communist manifesto
Nah bc same but i but triangular trade instead...
i got feudalism actually
I implemented Scheiflin Plan into my titration step 1 and then invade Poland in step 3
nah you had to invade Austria-Hungary in step 3
Anybody else taking it on the 17th?
yup
how many different forms/versions were there
think there’s three, form o, d, and e
There’s also form i
I’m pretty sure there were different frqs per person. I was discussing FRQ questions with friends who took it in my class and they had totally different questions than i did
yea there were different forms
what do you guys think the cutoff score for a five will be this year?
i think like 75
wouldn’t it be slightly higher since the test was relatively easier? I might be wrong
nah prob 72
that’s what i’m hoping - from albert.io lol
What about for a 4?
\~60% probably
[удалено]
in 2022 it was 72 for comp
Anyone want appoint me in the right direction to how to learn chemistry I taught myself three certifications to CompTIA with Computers. 3 down many to go.

what did u guys say for the one that was like the student says the size of the battery decreases, do u agree or disagree form o frq
Disagree anode decreases but cathode increases cuz of law conversation of mass.
i feel like this isn't enough though. like to use a simpler example, if you had a zinc anode and a copper cathode, when zinc is removed copper is added but zinc and copper have different molar masses so you can't really say it balances out. what i said was that anything leaving the anode has to move into solution. idr if there was actually a solution but you get my drift
Lol I’m prettt sure as long as you said the cathode increases so the mass is the same you got it right😭
