2012 AP Calculus AB Test Discussion

<p>5!!! And I thought I did bad on on some FRQ’s</p>

<p>I got a 5 even though I bombed one of the FRQ. It’s funny to look back at some of the posts after the tests and how we all panicked and worried about every dumb mistake we had made.</p>

<p>I only got a 2. I had just decided to self-study the AP a couple of months before taking it and even then only studied on-and-off, not every day, so I guess I deserve what I got, but I thought I’d gotten a 3 if not a 4… Shoot, I got a high 3 on a practice MC I took after only knowing about half the material and guessing on the rest; how could I have gone down from that? I must have gotten, like, all the free response questions wrong with almost no partial credit.</p>

<p>Hey I’m taking the test this year and can someone answer this question:
If you forget to put the estimation sign (the 2 squiggly equal signs ~) on the frq when estimating with a calculator, will you get any points off? thank you</p>

<p>I got a 5! It was going to be no surprise for me since I slept with my Calculus book each night.</p>

<p>Not really. Even if you put an equal sign, you won’t lose points at all. Always round to three decimal places. Good luck this year!</p>
