So I heard ever since 2025 since they made the test easier for AP Physics 1 (reduced the number of frqs from 5 to 4 and increased the time) the Alberto score calculator is not correct and now a 5 is actually around an 80% starting from 2025. Is this true?
Especially for anything related to my major how bad is it. Please be honest. How about smth like not reporting APUSH score after taking the APUSH class at my school.
I swear so many toxic people in my high school just will do everything from creating a npo, research and other ec's just to check boxes. Lwk they're pretty rude about it asw. I'm curious if these people can just make up a narrative because all their ec's do seem related to their major and just BS the thing that most people say is key in the college app process.
I came out of the test thinking I got like almost everything correct but when I checked answers with others I realized I got absolutely cooked. Did anyone else feel the same way.
Do you guys think a 75% raw score will guaranteed a 5 on AP Physics 1 this year. What about 80%. I'm scared because all the kids at my school said it's going to bare minimum a 85% but I do go to private school 💀
Since the FRQs were considered to be pretty bad do we think the curve will be the same?
I was talking to some people from schools next to me and they were all talking about doing HYPSM research with multiple profs, getting IEEE publications and doing some other crazy ec's. Is this actually the norm now to get into a t20. Is it impossible if you do ec's related to your major that you're actually passionate about or do you need to be the next Einstein to get into top schools.
I just got waitlisted right now. My portal still shows submitted tho. Did anyone else get waitlisted today?
