AP Calc BC MC is too time-consuming

<p>On my practice exams, I keep running out of time for MC section.
I can finish FR on time, but is it normal for many MC questions to take much time?</p>

<p>um skip the ones you know will be difficult??</p>

<p>and don't solve the entire problem, just solve enough to get the answer (like when building the taylor to 4 terms, if the 3rd term lets you get an answer, stop there and move on).</p>

<p>Learn the type of problems that take you forever, and do not do them before you do everything else. Then do the long ones you know best and are most likely to get right, and proceed from there.</p>

<p>Thanks, doh! Are there any other tips?</p>

<p>I come up with shortcuts to do problems, a perfect example would be for int of convergence. Instead of doing the ratio test all out on paper, I just mentally find the values of x that will cancel out with the term on the bottom. As for the end points, I do that mentally as well (knowing that 1/n^2 is abs convergent, 1/n is conditionally conv, etc...)</p>

<p>I really feel there should be at least 30 more minutes for the MC. :( Most MC questions are what I can solve, but I simply can't answer all of them because I lack speed and time is over too soon. It's frustrating.</p>
