<p>I have a mix of programs that I’ve made or my teacher has supplied us.</p>
<p>Binomial
Distance Formula
Euler’s Method
Newton’s Method
Quadratic Formula
Reduction
Slope-field
Summation Formation
Half-Life Formula
Trapezoid Integral Method</p>
<p>Damn, that’s a lot! I only have the quadratic formula and radian conversion.</p>
<p>How far along in the material are you? I’ve never heard of Euler’s Method or Trapezoid Integrals.</p>
<p>Maybe you could email College Board or look on the course description. I’m guessing that you would have to show your work, but you could probably use the programs to verify your answers. It’s not like the proctor can stop you from using the program during the test.</p>
<p>We are currently in Chapter 7.2. Euler’s Method is more of a BC thing learned in Chapter 6.1 (we glanced over it). The Trapezoid rule was learned in Chapter 4.6.</p>
<p>[(b-a)/2n]*[f(x0)+2f(x1)+2f(x2)+…+2f(x(n-1))+f(xn)]=Area under curve with Trapezoids</p>
<p>Edit: My book is the “Calculus Single Variable Advanced Placement (8th Edition)”</p>
<p>Arg. I had originally made the goal of taking the BC exam, but I’m wondering if I should back out. I think I could do it, but I don’t want my other five AP exam scores I’m taking this year to suffer as a result. Plus, it’s already March, and I know I’ll make a 5 on the AB exam. Sigh. </p>
<p>I guess I’ll talk to my Calc teacher tomorrow.</p>
<p>Wow, this thread is dead. It’s been a month since the last person has posted!</p>
<p>Trying to revive, and discuss the exam as well! It’s so close!</p>
<p>I just recently decided I have to study AP Calc AB as a senior, or else I have to take it again in college. I am practically self-studying! Anybody else self-studying?</p>
<p>WHAT ARE SLOPE FIELDS. I cannot find them in my Princeton Review Book!</p>
<p>Yeah I guess everyone is focused on preparing for the test. </p>
<p>Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using CC</p>
<p>What is the Euler’s method? My review book says that only BC students have to know that.</p>
<p>Slope fields are basically graphs depicting the slope of the function at each point. There is a separate line segment for each point.</p>
<p>My AB teacher gave us an AB/BC study book. Currently we’re studying ch 7’s Volume Disc Method and Washer Method.</p>
<p>Newton’s method and Euler’s method aren’t AB topics if I’m not mistaken.</p>
<p>^Thank you!</p>
<p>We’ve finished all the material, it’s all practice tests from here on. On a Barron’s multiple choice (an old one, I think), I got 36/45 right! With that I would just need to average 4-5 points on the FRQ’s to get a 5. YAY!!!</p>
<p>I don’t so much struggle with the concepts and math as little mistakes, like thinking f(x) was f’(x) or vice versa.</p>
<p>HELP! I’ve had an independent AP Calc AB class all year during which I was meant to work through the PR Cracking the AP Calculus book, but I’ve done nothing! Do I have any chance in hell of getting a 5 if I start working hard now? Also, which are the best practice tests?</p>
<p>Sorry to be a downer but unless you’re already very good at math, pick up new concepts very easily, and have 6-8+ hours a day to devote to Calculus, a 5 seems near impossible.</p>
<p>inaweoflacs you have a chance depending on your math abilities. If you’re quick to pick up concepts just go over either ARCO (AB sections only) or PR, both are good. Collegeboard has actual released tests so go over that too. Just do as much practice as you can! Luckily you’ll be able to geta 5. How much have you actually covered? How much is left to learn?</p>
<p>I’m preparing for the exam using the Princeton review. I’m gonna put in a lot of hours for this exam and Bio, which I’m hoping I can pass both. No one in the history of my high school - who took these two courses - ever scored higher than a 1 lol.</p>
<p>How are you guys approaching the studying of the AP Calculus exam?</p>
<p>I’m using princeton review and Barron’s</p>
<p>I just finished my new classes for next year and AP Calc is on the list. I wanted to switch to AP Stat because I need all A’s on my report card. My rank is in the 20’s and I need to move up the ladder. Plus…my counselor said if I take AP Calc there would be a schedule conflict if I wanted to take AP English too… so…is it extremely hard?</p>
<p>Really depends on what type of person you are. It’s pretty easy for me, and for many others on this website, but think about whether math has been easy for you in the past. If so, calculus will most likely also be easy</p>
