AP

OK, can someone predict the score range for a sophomore that knows Biology AP, Chemistry AP, and Physics AP?

[chrishuff]

First off, it doesn't matter what grade level you are in. All that matters is "Do you know your stuff you learned in those classes?"

I am currently taking AP Biology (Was the 2nd place top scorer in Biology), already took AP Chemistry and passed the AP test, and already took PAP Physics. I could not take AP Physics my senior year due to a schedule conflict.

My score varies from anywhere between 100-200. I have never broken 200, but have gotten close a couple years ago.
I got 2nd Place Overall at Districts.

Since I am advancing to Region, my school's AP Physics teacher will help me out best to try and answer as many Physics questions as possible. And also since I have absolutely ZERO experience when it comes to Regional level tests - My UIL Science coach has the last 5 years of the Regional tests. I haven't gone over one completely yet (I have 3 weeks until Regionals), but this stuff is much more difficult, and dirty little tricks are used even more!

But everbody's different. It just depends how you learn he material and most importantly, RETAIN it.

please answer the following question: Can I score 300+ with the knowledge of AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and AP Physics? Multiple answers are appreciated.

Look at 5A scores this year. A majority of 5A students came close to breaking 300, but most of them stayed below it. Of course there are some districts with highly talented people.

not really it takes some outside studying of subjects rarley covered in the classroom including the knowledge of ap classes

[smeag]

Yeah, but what I'm saying is I study from comprehensive AP Bio, chem and physics books. (Soy de Nyehh!)

Problem is, it's nigh on impossible to actually memorize all that stuff. Especially the Bio.

If you really know what you're doing in all three subjects, then you could probably get a 250+ pretty consistently on easier tests. On harder tests you'd probably be somewhere more around a 200+.

360 is absolutely unheard of for science, though. I don't know if anyone's ever gotten one at a competition.

Out of all the science ap exams, which do you think is the hardest and easiest?

[nsguy1350]

[smeag]

I plan on taking at least one of them next sophomore year

[007math]

From what I've heard, and by taking some of the classes, in my opinion, Chemistry is the easiest with Physics C being the hardest.

[Salvadoramerican]

Chemistry only easy depending on your teacher and your studying habits our AP CHem teacher is awesome

[smeag]

I've seen the m.i.t. open course ware really improves my physics!

[smeag]

Do you guys think it is wise to take AP Chem and AP Bio sophmore year? I want to know if it is worth the effort to take 2 AP classes to improve my Science UIL.
However, please keep in mind, it isn't just for Uil(AP EXAM!!)

[derekfuller]

Can anyone recommend me some authors so that i can purchase some books for my AP biology exam??
