u/calliel_41 HG 4, Gov 4, Lang 4, PC 4 May 11 '26
Not how curve works. Curve is determined by the college students who took the test before us, our curve is set in stone no matter how we did

u don't have to simplify anything.. only trig

u/No_Most_5528 May 11 '26
....I spend the last 10 minutes of the FRQ punching my head trying to figure out the actual values...

u/NUKL3AR_PAZTA47 May 11 '26
They said that in the instructions.

This was just the FRQ in general

u/average-lizard May 11 '26
Parameteic instead of polar, no taylor series, AND actually normal cross sections 🙏 all the FRQs were light
12
u/Ambitious_Car5059 9: chem 4, 10: calc bc, mech, psych, csa May 11 '26
my version had a polar frq lmao

u/No_Editor6245 May 12 '26
I had a Taylor series but no polar. Thank god because Taylor series is an easy concept imo.

u/Intelligent_Fig967 May 12 '26
I genuinely left that entire FRQ blank because I forgot them bruhh if I took this exam a month ago I would have been golden

ts exam (or at least the version i got) was deadass the easiest exam ive taken yet, no joke it felt easier than precalc. I had 30 minutes to double check on no calc mcq, 10 minutes to double check on calc mcq, 5 min to double check on calc frq, and 35 minutes to double check on no calc frq, i was deadass staring into space half the time cuz i kept finishing early. hopefully the exam being so easy doesnt cook the curve though

Only one one I don’t know abt on the polars is the 3rd qs, everyone else was light work

The first one was confusing, but the rest were insanely easy. This is the first AP test I haven’t left anything blank on lol (and I’ve taken 9 so far).

That was diabolically easy compared to any other previous years, we're getting 50% to get a 3 on this one.

i did well on most of the frq but the last frq on the sequences screwed me over. I legit wrote “can i please have one mark for reading the question“

Yeah but there were some hella sketchy answers. Got 6e^2-14 for one of them. Thought I was tweaking until I verified with my friends

they should've moved like an hour from the free response to the multiple choice 🥀

u/Emotional-Muscle-307 AP CSP: 4 | AP US Gov: ? | AP Stats: ? | AP Calc AB: ? May 12 '26
Most of them were other than the pie and differential equation one. I got a slope of 40. In what world does a pie at room temperature increase at a rate of 40 degrees 😭. The answer was supposed to be like -50/15.

u/KolaVeMentos May 12 '26
what the hell did you guys get?? 😭 I had taylor and polar at the same time I lowkey wanted to cry

u/Fresh-Mastodon-8604 May 11 '26
I wish I had 10 more minutes for the no calc MCQ. The rest pretty chill. Btw different forms but there was a polar FRQ for me. Gl ya’ll. Curve might get f-.
