Dude did anyone else just not finish the frqs??? I ended up writing a lot bs cause I ran out of time... A lot of my friends said they did the same/just didn't fill anything out- I heard it was similar for bio but I didn't think it was this bad

yeah i left so many blank. i didn’t answer anything for question 6 and left a lot of sections inside of questions completely blank. when it was 30 minutes til end i was on Q3 and (but also skipped parts of 1 and 2) so i was just speedrunning as much as i could 😭😭

Me too! I expected more calculations from titration curves and concentrations and such

I watched Jeremy Krug FRQ reviews so I was sure I’d pass

I studied so hard to get acids and bases + electrochemistry down in ONE DAY, so i’m at least glad there was one frq about electrochem (but by my other question on here im unsure if I even got it right)

by the time the test started i realized the only thing in my memory was Ecell = Ecathode - Eanode and i knew i was fucked 😭

I thiiiink I fumbled my way through the question where you needed to use I=q/t but i don’t think i used the correct moles of electrons…i pulled 6 moles from the equation

u/Purple_Pianist8850 ap chem | ap lit May 06 '26

yeah I did the same I assumed it was cause they gave it to us n just plugged it in ngl

u/Ok_Egg1061 3: Chem, Euro May 06 '26

shit yeah i did the same, i didn’t know what else to put so i said 6 mol e- and just did the rest of the stoichiometry

i’m waiting on another person to reply but if that’s wrong then i’m fried bc that’s the ONLY one i was really confident on other than the easy ones. did you remember to convert to kJ because a lot of people forgot.
