<p>We are doing u-substitution. It amazes me how far some of you guys already are.</p>
<p>We got our study books today and will finished learning stuff in the middle of March if our teacher stops missing school ;)</p>
<p>@JordanSaidWhat same here! Haha but apparently we’ll have enough time to spend all of April and the first week of May reviewing…</p>
<p>Our unit test over Chapter 4 is next week. We still have all of chapter 5 and then the AB parts of chapters 6 and 7. My teacher has mentioned we are slightly behind, nut regardless we are stopping four week prior to the exam so we can review and take four practice exams. </p>
<p>I’m also starting to consider the possibly of taking the BC exam. Arg, quick decision-making is not easy.</p>
<p>^I’m going to take the BC exam. You should too! We can encourage each other 
Yeah we have to learn chapters 6 and 7…</p>
<p>i’ pretty sure you can’t take ab and bc in the same year can you? I believe i read that on the collegeboard website but i could be wrong.</p>
<p>@ElvenRanger yay, stress/studying BC buddies!</p>
<p>You can’t do AB and BC in the same year. I’m saying I will self-study the remaining BC material and then take that exam.</p>
<p>Wow I feel so behind, this Friday was our first class on Integration. Although my teacher says we will have 2-3 weeks left when we finish with the course to just review. About 75% of the kids gets 5’s and the rest get 3-4’s. (Mainly 4’s)</p>
<p>what prep books are you guys planning to use/using?
barrons is the go-to book on the “consolidated book suggestions” but ive also heard their practice test are a lot harder, inaccurate of the ap test, etc etc (but i always hear that about barrons so…)</p>
<p>any real good ones you’ve come across or is barrons still the answer?</p>
<p>our chapter test is monday and then we start reviewing for the ap test.</p>
<p>Got a 90% on my last quiz and so happy (92% in the class) but I have a 2-day test starting Monday and it’s on all of chapter 5. The hardest chapter we’ve had yet. He’s says it’s the second hardest all year. Scared for the hardest…</p>
<p>o.o our class is only just now doing limits… LOL but my course was weird, it was pre-calc first semester, and then AB second semester, do you think i’ll be fine?</p>
<p>Really relieved that I got an 81% of day 1 of the test (class period average was below 70%). However Day 2 was just as hard :(</p>
<p>Hey I’m taking the test this year and can someone answer this question:
If you forget to put the estimation sign (the 2 squiggly equal signs ~) on the frq when estimating with a calculator, will you get any points off? thank you</p>
<p>I don’t think so. Our teacher doesn’t. </p>
<p>Update to my post above - D on part 2 :(</p>
<p>do AP exam scores matter in the admissions process if you don’t submit any of them?</p>
<p>@sandiegocali I think you only need to put the ≈ when you are actually approximating, like when you do Riemann Sums or linearizations and things like that. When you just round from the calculator, you’re allowed to put the = as long as you round out to 3 decimal places. My teacher told me that the college board will count decimal approximations out to the third decimal place as exact.</p>
<p>^ Our teacher has been an AB reader for three years and he tells us the exact same three decimal places rule.</p>
<p>Hey are we allowed to use programs off our calculator for the AP exam?</p>
<p>@binatang: I hate to say this, but unless you’re REALLY good at picking up derivation, you’re going to be missing a great deal of the foundation for the AP exam. It took us more than a whole semester to do derivation; we only started integration last month. Then again, I don’t know what your teacher’s style is like.</p>
<p>@egelloc80: What kind of programs are you talking about? I think it’s safe to assume that we can’t use anything that’ll give a shortcut on FRQs…</p>
