    Physics C has a high pass rate because the course and the test are hard asf. You only need approximately 50% on the AP test to get a 5.

    • @neerajgogate491
      @neerajgogate491 3 роки тому +857

      Also if you're taking Physics C you probably got a 4/5 on Physics 1, so that boosts the score a lot too.

      @jaycesteele6938 3 роки тому +576

      I might be misunderstanding what you're saying, but just to clarify -- the high pass rate isn't because of the low thresholds for higher scores. The reason you only need a 50% on the Physics C test to get a 5 is because the test is so difficult. That doesn't mean it's "easier" to get a 5 on Physics C -- the threshold for a 5 is lower specifically because the test is harder. The point of putting the threshold there is to account for difficulty. In some sense, the idea would be that it's about as hard to get 50% (or whatever the exact threshold is) on the Physics C test as it is to get, say, a 70% on the AP Enviro test. I would guess that the reason the pass rate is higher for Physics C is because the course is known to be difficult, and is thus taken by students who are generally more adept at physics.

    This is not a measure of how hard the tests are; it’s a measure of how well the school steers students to the right classes for them. Calc BC is strictly harder than Calc AB, but schools don’t usually push students to take BC calc if they’re not ready for it; something that happens more for AB

      @Victor Saliba I hope you are kidding and just making a not-so-funny joke. If not, screw you. Chemistry is one of the hardest AP classes. Only 11% of people get a five. And before you start trashing me(again, if this wasn't just a dumb joke) I got a five on my Chemistry exam, along with my BC Calculus and Language and Composition tests. I got a four on APUSH despite my SAQs being on topics my teacher didn't cover. So I am exceptionally smart, and Chemistry was still difficult for me. If you got a five, great. But if you haven't taken the class and the AP test, don't be talking trash. And once again, if this was a joke, it was kind of lame and not funny at all. Just let people be happy.

      Notice how the non calc based physics has a lower passing rate than the calc based one. Typically people who take those classes (excluding chemstry) aren’t the best at high level math. Calc BC for example is Calc AB + extra material, yet nearly has one of the highest passing rates. In my opinion, from what I see some people test out Calc with AB, and then those who do good complete BC, hence the high pass rate. The rest of the people just don’t understand it. A lot of those classes there are you understand it or you don’t. Add the fact that most of those are easier variations of other classes so students who don’t wanna challenge themselves as much are there.

It wasn't until I came across the LD Talent’s “All Courses, Topics, and Curricula list” that I truly understood how AP exams are relevant to real-world subjects taught in graduate school and beyond. I found that there is certainly a connection between AP courses and their practical applications in various fields, which allows students to better understand the significance of their AP exams.

    Like he said, high pass rate does not mean easy! Take Calc BC for example. It’s fifth in terms of pass rate, but it’s a ridiculously hard class. It just has such high of a pass rate because of an insane curve, as well as students have to have taken Calc AB to get to that level. Kids who get to BC in high school are honestly a special breed, and there are generally pretty few of them. So, those who take the class are REALLY good at math, and as a result, the class has a high pass rate.

    The interesting thing to keep in mind about this list is that classes like Art & Design, Physics C and 2, French, etc have such high pass rates because they aren't normally taken by the AVERAGE student. They're usually taken by the students who think they can handle a more difficult class (that isn't a necessary course to take), thus significantly higher pass rates due to fewer low score outliers. Spanish Language is just a ridiculously easy exam, gov is easier though :)

      I took AP Human-Geography last year. Yes, the class was easy and so were the tests. I didn’t think I’d do great from low self-confidence, but I wasn’t wrong. The exam is nothing like the actual class. There were about 60 questions for me and 3 frqs. Literally, half of what you learn in the class doesn’t matter on the exam. It basically takes one section out of all the things we learned and focused on that. The only thing you need to worry about are remembering vocabulary, maps, and countries. If you know that, you have a good chance of passing, but from someone who failed mine (I got a 2), good luck.

      Idk how testing works this year but fyi i was lucky to pass because the online test the first year of lockdown was easier. If we go back to the normal test, be prepared because you will have to (more or less) memorize 250 works of art, title, date, background information included (and with little continuity between the pieces). Just a warning.

    Music theory was pretty cognitively demanding, you have to listen to an entire orchestra and write the counterpoint and bass line for it or match counter point to instrument that you figure out from an audio excerpt

    I passed the AP human test with a 4 and one of my written responses simply said “it was the Vikings”. I had an F in the class all year but passed all my in class tests with an A as well. If homework didn’t exist and my teacher didn’t give us a required 30 page study guide before every test, I would’ve certainly passed with flying colors. Our education system is terrible.

    I took 35 & 37 this year.
    For AP US Gov, I was a projected 5 and scored a 4, which I'm very content with.
    For AP Env. Sci, I was a projected 4 and scored a 4, which I'm extremely happy about.
    After hearing the passing rates before scores were released, I was so scared for my Env. Sci score, as it was my second time taking the exam and I had studied very little in comparison to my first time taking it.
    I'm so glad it worked out for me!
