AP Calculus AB 2012 Score Discussion

<p>If you called the Collegeboard to hear your score or have recieved your score report, post what you made (if you want) and how you thought you did. </p>

<p>Once you guys heard your scores were you surprised? Harsh curve, more generous than than we thought?</p>

<p>I hope everyone got the score they needed!</p>

<p>Noooo I got a 4 :(. I guess it doesn’t really matter, but I really wanted a 5. As compensation I got a 5 in English which I thought I got a 3 on -_-. Anyways, hope everyone else did well.</p>

<p>4 :frowning:
<em>Shudders</em> I died a little inside when the automated voice announced f-o-u-r.
I wanted a 5 even though I got 4s all year round. Really studied the couple of days before the test. Didn’t help :frowning:
I thought the test was fairly easy so I am disappointed with a 4. </p>

<p>Anyways good luck to everyone. I am curious to know how others fared.</p>

<p>5… didn’t study at all outside of class. In class, we just went over some of the FRQ from previous years.</p>

<ol>
<li>The final for my class was harder than the AP exam. My teacher did a really good job of preparing the class for the exam as all of our tests were AP formatted.</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>My teacher really did an awesome job, too. But outside of that I bought the 5 steps to a 5 Calculus book and used that to prepare for every unit test and the actual AP exam. I also used Just Math Tutoring videos on YouTube (awesome!).</li>
</ol>

<p>We did tons of practice free response questions and he even made up some so we could cover any kind of hard problem that the CB would have come up with. Luckily the 2 hardest for me (the bird problem and the volume/rotation problem) were similar to the ones from 2011 and we practiced different versions of the question type like 5 times each.</p>

<p>I don’t really know what to think of the curve. I just thought I was really prepared is all. I do think a lot of people (25%) got 5s.</p>

<p>Got a 5! I’m not a math/science person so I wasn’t expecting it honestly. Got 5s on my non-math/science APs as well as Chem though, so not complaining!</p>

<p>Got a 4 on the test. Probably had the best teacher and we reviewed for so long! Most people would be *<strong><em>ed they didn’t get a 5 but I don’t give a *</em></strong>! College credit, baby!!</p>

<ol>
<li>If I got any lower I would have been very ****ed, I did every past frq since like 2003. But I got a 5 so I’m :)</li>
</ol>

<p>… Oh god this makes me nervous. I know this isn’t the BC discussion, but how did the people that got 5’s feel about the MC section? I’m really worried now :frowning: the 50% 5 rate for BC was placating me till now, but my teacher didn’t really prepare us and I know I got a decent amount of things wrong on the MC…</p>

<p>YES! I got a 5 :D. I was really expecting a 4, so I jumped in joy at my 5.
Although I’m good at math, I’m not good at the FRQs and the format/question styles of the APs. I studied and stressed a ton over this test, and thanks to a lot of preparation and my teacher, I got a 5.
WOOT.</p>

<p>I got a 3…pretty sure i had fived it</p>

<p>5 which i’m happy about. I’m pretty sure that’s the only 5 i’ll get in my high school life.</p>

<p>5, my teacher was really good but I thought I effed up the MC and I knew I messed up on two of the FRQ’s so I got a little lucky there.</p>

<ol>
<li>To prepare myself, I basically worked through multiple choice packets that my teacher gave me, as well as working through all the released free response questions.</li>
</ol>

<p>5’d it. 2 dumb who-cares I already got a “5” accidents on the test :P</p>

<p>Just a natural, never ever studied or practiced FR/MC questions. The test was a joke :frowning: I wanted it to be harder, math competition hard, more complicated integrals, better related rates problems, more modeling functions to word problems, more inverse trig, quotient rule, and revolution of solids.</p>

<p>I was into Calculus ever since over 2 years ago in Algebra 2 9th grade and watching the very interesting Calc in 20 minutes and I came up with the username “tangentline” for different accounts back then!</p>
