"Which element has 15 protons"

Maybe it would be hard if you had to do it by memory

but that is really basic if you have the table

"Which element of these 4 had 6 valence electrons"

Some of them require you to know how the table works

Oh, there are also PH questions

So you need to know whether a 2 on the scale is basic or acidic

that is a basic question

badum

tsssss

I feel stupid so i'm just going to leave

these questions make me with this is all I had to do to graduate in hs. My exams were much harder than these

also rip

These are standardized tests, not the actual tests

Actual tests are hard

Standardized tests (forus in Virginia) are written 4-5 grade levels beneath you, so everyone will pass

ah

I see

And if you don't you just keep taking them

What the fuck is even the point of them then]

wasting money?

No, the school gets funding from the state based on their pass rate

To ensure (more than anything) they're motivating their students and teaching them at some base level

unless your in my state

See, we had the threat of being "held back" but in practice it was only to punish those who didn't try, to ensure people didn't just fill in random answers and leave after 5 minutes

Because there was no way to; in good faith, make these a part of the students' grade

oof

It feels like the schools here receive funding based on how much they torture the students

isn't it all quota based anyways

This is a sample from an actual math final for grade 11/12

seems easier than the math tests I typically did

not much easier though

except the integrals, since my hs did not cover that

i back boys

I feel like they tried to keep calculus topics easier, because students usually had less experience with them

welcome back

i got a new phone during my leave lol

Does this new phone make you look more hip?

Is it a flip phone

Oh Bopit, I've got a Chemistry question I saved for you

ok I'll see if I can do it in my head

oh boi organic chem

I take that this coming semester

This is 12th grade here in VA

We do organic as a part of HS chem

Here's something non-organic then

I hav;t done organic since freshman year lol

no clue what a free radical mechanism is

Pretty sure they want initiation, propagation, and termination

Those are the synthetic buzzwords

yeah I don't know stuff like this I guess

have one taken not that much chem

and I don't remember any of this being in AP
