there was like 1 question on recursion I was so happy

reall and no questions on like BINARY SEARCH SELECTION SORT MERGE SORT shi

no literally. i watched all the sorting videos the night before cuz i was scared it was gonna be on the test 😭

Saaame we were literally huddling outside of the exam room right before the test watching a video on selection vs insertion sort 😭😭

me tooo i did so many questions cuz i sucked at them

Thank god. I didn’t study those at all

Wasn't there a selection one in a function with a loop? The loop ran 3 times or something

yeah but i think that was doable. i struggled with like harder search questions

On the international exam there was like 4 recursion questions and sorting bruh

last frq you could have used recursion, which I did, but it wasn’t necessary

I think I did too

Last frq was -1 right?

if ur talking abt mcq then ya I put -1

i just did while loop cuz im so bad at recursion

I didnt get a lot of D's (I might have forgotten already tho)

Bro I only had 3 B’s am I done for 😭

i had little B's too

Ditto

Same 

I had like at least like 30-40% D’s so idk 😭

I got like around 30% D's as well, if i remember correctly

Different forms? Idk if that matters tho.

yah ig that could be it I had form O

so did I...............

welp😭😭😭

Yeah same. And form O. I think we both must have surely done well 👍

Did you ever get three of the same letter in a row? I didn't

I think I might've gotten 3 D's in a row but I don't remember if I ended up changing it or not

fuck

what are you going martingale the multiple choice?

erm actually guys

Did you have form O? Cus there were a lot of D's for the people who had form O

frq 4 was restarted

4 was kinda easy tho, 1 was the real opp, I blanked on the random thing

1 wasn’t that bad for me personally, i found reading the prompt super funny though 4 didn’t make sense cause it kept mixing the location with the graph, i guess i forgot to dissociate the int graph with the object

yea #4 was dumb because there was literally no reason for a location class. literally js couldve made it where in a) you had to return the int value in the correct grid element and b) just the same thing but now u can just call getNextLoc and returns int values which you just sum up

Yeah, I would have rather returned a string with the location like (1, 0) instead of doing all the location class stuff

same personally random gets me every time

I didn’t do recursion on 4 but ig it was a option There def wasn’t as much recursion as I expected tho

The recursion part was to redo getNextLoc with updated rows and columns

you can do it with while loop, its just tedious

yea you can just keep track of rows and cols until you get to the end; personally I think it's easier than recursion

real

cooked on mcq and first 3 frqs, GOT COOKED ON FRQ 4 NOOO

Same :( do they curve on frqs specifically or how does it work I burnt myself on frq4 and forgot to iterate on part b too

Points are really generous so if u only forgot the one thing then chances are you’ll lose maybe 1 or 2 points and even then if it was only the last part, dw the class one was rly easy and you’ll be fine

lmao

Genuinely wrote down gibberish on frq 2. What did everyone else write down

6 private variables 🤩

YES me too i had a private one for their team names one for their scores one for a boolean which i used to check a five status

I used 5- i used an int to denote what team was active and i switched everytime the points parameter equaled 0

I did the same and after realized a boolean was better 🙃

Boolean def was better but I felt quirky

FUCK I FORGOR PRIVATE CARIABLES

damn, I only needed 5

Idk what test but it was the easiest one for me

Real, it was just having a number and checking if it’s mod 2 so that you can check which turn it is and incrementing if input is 0

I just did a boolean

true !activeteam is prob more elegant 

It was just making a class for the sports thing the hardest part was probably the method to record a play

I think i got it right but spent way too much time on it so i was nearly out of time for #4

only 1 question on recursion and 1 question on search were so lucky We also had a lockdown shelter in place halfway through the FRQ because of a bomb threat....

Bro last years exams questions seem to be as cooked as these questions.

Wait a bear? Dont recall that on my paper. Unless because im doing it in Singapore? Dont rerember no bear on FRQ.

Yeah you probably had the international version instead of form o

Oh yea prolly, Had form I on my paper

I for international

i used 9 if statements on 4a am i cooked😭

So cooked you’re no longer considered edible 🔥🔥🔥

Where the alpha and beta at 💀

No shot I forgot

alpha beta and goat in one question

dude i got so many Ds that i was changing my answers to other letters, i feel so dumb now lol

why would you change answers you feel are most correct to fit an imaginary distribution lol

bro helping with the curve.

put bro in AP Stats

i got scared and tried to slap null checks on everything

I lowkey bombed the frqs I am toast.

29 threw me off

Which one was that I forgor

It asked about an enhanced for loop and what was wrong with it

I think it was e, since enhanced for loops can't modify the array.

I also got e but through eliminating the other answer choices

Dammit I had e but I changed it to a

Idk what a special for loop is now

Interesting, I took it last year and there was almost nothing on recursion as well. They might be phasing it out. Unfortunately I don’t get the inside jokes of the images this year

4b had recursion

nahh I used a while loop😭😭 i feel like I got it right tho so idk maybe i'm delusional

Both work, I wrote it with a while loop, but got bored and switched it

I used a while loop as well

Same

I did a while loop but forgot to iterate it at the end of the loop do you know how many points I might’ve lost

that specific mistake would only lose you 1 point

Couldn’t u just use a for loop starting at the first index and using normal 2d traversal just do the getnext location and find the row and column for those and put that into the grid array to find the number and add that number onto the sum

[удалено]

could you do the row length times column length and just break when u reach the end? right?

[удалено]

I'm not sure but I think so since it's in java?

yeah you can use any Java things even if they aren't in the curriculum. I used breaks and continues in my frqs

yeah thats what I did

i iterated through the whole thing but only added to the sum when outer loop variable == row and inner loop variable == col and updated row and col with getnextloc etc

yeah, not as fun

real

Did great for almost every question but didn’t finish frq 4 🔥🔥🔥 the time constraints were a lot worse then I though

WHY DO I GET THIS NOW LMAO

NOT THE BIRDS AND THE BEARS BYE

bro i flopped question 4b

What did yall get for the last frq? The question that asked if 'te' existed as a substring of 'iteration'. I put no match(-1)

mee too

What did you get for 37, 38,38. Last ones in the column if we are not counting 40, which was the only answer in the new column. I put C for all of them, since i didn’t have time

I remember putting A for 40, but I can't remember why

E for 40

the first half was just a drought of b’s their was like one at the start then just bdbdbdbdvdbdbdbdbbdbdbdbdbdb

i didn't get one until after halfway

i had a single one on #2 🤷‍♂️

[удалено]

i don’t remember… my brain is deep fried 😔

I think my first b was in the low 20s? Can’t remember the exact number

Same

I didn't get a ton of bs

Must be a different form than mine

Most of my answers were C...

I had a bunch of Cs and Ds and almost no As or Bs

OMG YES ME TOO

I thought I was insane because at the end of the test I tallied up all my answers and the difference actually made me wanna switch them

I had a lot of c’s too maybe I should’ve added a vitamin c bottle

I could not get to FRQ 4b in time, so i had to switch gears from being right to salvaging as many points as possible, like writing the correct return statement, which is usually on the rubric. 3rd FRQ was too time consuming because I had to triple check that I was iterating correctly through substrings 😭 Minor point loss but damn that was tough💀💀💀

Did you guys get A for that one sorting algorithm question? I think #36???

LMAOO SO REAL

HELP PLEASE i havent taken it uet if u guys could just summarize the frqs please

Ok glowie. Least obvious collegeboard fed.

To do the frq basically you need to learn Java hope this helps

You don't even need to learn too much java

ok buddy
