<p>Tennis chick, this is only the first of many tests. I was also very disappointed after my first test. I ran out of time, and made a few stupid mistakes. I ended up scoring an abysmal 75, but I technically only missed two questions. However, I was counted off 6 points for each question in which I didn’t show my work fully, which amounted to 13 points. I guess I’m looking forward to the next test, which will consist of derivatives. I guess all u can say is to be optimistic. My grade in Calc AB is an 85. I’m the only kid in my class that made an A on the summer assignment; 92. I also got a 100 on this derivative assignment. I guess if I do well from now on, I’ll hopefully have and maintain an A.</p>
<p>I’m not sure which to get. I’ll end up taking AB and BC. I’ve been told 84 has useful apps. 83 seems significantly cheaper, so is it worth it? I will take very little math in college.</p>
<p>My school give us the 83 and it works just fine … esspically since its cheaper … why waste money when at the end of the day no matter how fancy and expensive the calculator is it wont work if u dont know what its doing … so i cay 83</p>
<p>We got 84. I’m not a huge fan. I use the TI multiview lol.</p>
<p>Anyone else’s teacher grade really hard. We had a limit quiz today and i got 77% with showing all work AND GETTING THE CORRECT ANSWER FOR EVERY PROBLEM!!! Just venting</p>
<p>I’m in the same shoes. I had a test today. I made two stupid mistakes, so I’m pretty much already down to an 80. There was a bonus, which I’m almost certain that I answered correctly. However, I didn’t fully show my work, so no credit.</p>
<p>Wish I had EC…85 in the class though so Im still far from ineligibility</p>
<p>We only got the bonus because every kid begged the teacher. I kind of wish I could stop thinking about my mistakes. I’ve literally spent the entire day trying to remember what I was thinking while taking the test, an what I did wrong hahaha. I have an 85 as well. The tests count 90%, and the teacher doesn’t grade anything else. So, I’m probably screwed.</p>
<p>you have time to pull it up (so do I) so I wouldn’t be worries about it</p>
<p>Well I did a lot worse than an 85. My grade dropped like 9 points from that 1 test. I’m down to a 78. I’m quite worried and disappointed, but I guess that won’t get me anywhere. We started discussing the chain rule today. I’m gonna get started on my Calc homework, and maybe study a bit everyday from now on to hopefully ensure that I don’t do too bad on the next test.</p>
<p>Well finished a quiz yesterday and have a test tomarrow and then I’ll be done with the limits chapter. :)</p>
<p>Completely bombed my first test today with a 50-something. I had no excuse either. It was really easy.</p>
<p>This year should be interesting.</p>
<p>Harmelion, I’m in the same shoes. A in every class except Calc right now. I’m pretty worried. This year is off to a bad start. Progress reports are going home next week. Report cards for 1st 9 weeks in a months.</p>
<p>^ hmmm… you guys dont have online access to your grades? We haven’t had progress reports for almost 5 years now :)</p>
<p>We have online access, but the county sends progress reports and report cards so that the parents are informed.</p>
<p>O my school assumes that the parents check on their own. Got a 91% on my quiz from Friday but felt awful about this test I just took</p>
<p>I hate the chain rule. This is like the one thing that I don’t understand. I get some of it, but when I have to do somewhat complex problems like: sqrootx + 1/4sin(2x)2, I want to cry lol.</p>
<p>Well i just finished chapter 1 (took the test today) … and chapter one was like the “what u should know before you take calculus” … and school started on 8/20 for me … so my teacher definatly goes slow 
… but atleast now i can start on some actual calculus</p>
<p>Chain rule’s so annoying, but I guess it depends on how someone teaches you.</p>
<p>Calc BC here, btw.</p>
<p>Can anyone give me a chronological list of your current lessons from beginning of school til now? I am trying to get a sense what other people are learning outside of my school fo AP Calc AB
Ex.
1 week - review
2 week - blah blah on (name of lesson)
3 week - harder blah blah on (name of lesson)</p>
