<p>Does anyone know of any predictions for this year's free response questions for the AP Calc AB test?</p>
<p>one will definitely be a volume of revolution question…</p>
<p>one will definitely be a taylor series question…</p>
<p>^definitely not on the AB test.</p>
<p>one will definitely ask about the Mean Value Theorem</p>
<p>Thanks guys! How exactly do you know this though?</p>
<p>1 will be finding area between curves/volume of rotation/volume of cross sections
1 will be taylor series (probably last)
1 will be parametric OR polar, hopefully parametric 
1 will have a table with data and you’ll have to use Reimann sums and indefinite integrals and describe what’s happening and stuff
1 will have a graph and you’ll have to find points on the graph of the derivative/points of inflection/average rate of change/etc.
1 will probably either be related rates or differential equations</p>
<p>@aldfig0 Sorry, I forget this topic was about the AB exam not BC. But that is true for the BC exam.</p>
<p>@takemeaway24 College Board can only write FRQs testing a finite amount of concepts, so if you look through old FRQs there predictions can be easily made.</p>
<p>@Johasua are those for the AB test?</p>
<ul>
<li>An Area question (extremely predictable, thank goodness )</li>
<li>A Table that asks for slope, a Riemman sum, or Trapezoidal one, and maybe an integral expression that will need to be interpreted.</li>
<li>A Graph that will either be labeled f or f’, and will be asked points of inflection, the area between a specific definite integral, or something weird.</li>
<li>MAYBE a slope field or implicit differentiation, but they have not been there for the last years.</li>
<li>A question relating to position, velocity, and/or acceleration.</li>
<li>A question that will be harder than the rest of them like the 2011 landfill one.</li>
</ul>
<p>@takemeaway24 no these are for BC, AB doesn’t have series or parametric/polar I think.</p>
<p>@Jordan134 Thank you can you give me an example of the second one with the table that asks for slope and the integral expression that needs to be interpreted.</p>
<p>^ Number 2 on this <a href=“Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board”>Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board;
<p>Screw that landfill problem from last year.</p>
<p>Hopefully we can all get 8’s and 9’s on an Rsum one
Yeah, the free response from last year was extremely difficult… The first one was easy, but the rest were kinda shaky. Hopefully that means this year’s will be easier!! Although that will mean a less generous curve… Lol</p>
<p>I will be praying that the FRQ’s will be doable. But i have a feeling that it will be harder, just because the 2011 one was practically ridiculous. I NEED TO PASS IT!!! AHH!!! haha.
The multiple choice better be as easy as the 2008 and 2003 ones, or else i am screwed…</p>
<p>Please be a position, velocity, acceleration one… I will definitely get a 9. I hope no slope field, related rates or a crazy cross section. <em>sighs</em></p>
