The FRQ are being released tomorrow right?
The FRQ is really worrying me because of all the variability in answers…

pretty much sums it up
Hahaha my entire class knew NOTHING
^^^^^^Probably
Yeah honestly I was getting a high 3 on my multiple choice section alone on practice tests. A couple of people in my class were getting 4’s on just the multiple choice score. You can do pretty bad on the entire test and still get a 3.
Have you guys seen the Alex + Chandler shipping stuff ?
I probably should have known this before the exam, but when you’re doing a u-substitution and you get dx = (something with x) du and the “something with x” isn’t in the integral, what are you supposed to do? Replace the dx with the entire block? Because then the integral will have u’s AND x’s in it…there were a few MCs that I got stuck on because of that. But I still feel okay about the entire exam because in my math teacher’s class last year (and p much all years), 90% got 5s, so I trust his teaching.
And for the one with the area bounded by a curve, the integrals from 2 to whatever were definitely negative, even if they gave positive areas. I think f(-2) = 12 and f(4) = -9
You have to rearrange the equation in terms of x (doing so yielded x=u-3 if I remember correctly), and then you can substitute that for x in the integral.
I was a little confused with the bounds on that problem. The only answer that corresponded with mine had the bounds [2, 9] whereas my bounds were [1, 10]. And I was pretty sure I had done the u-substitution correctly. Does anyone remember what they put for that problem?
@itsmyusername I totally did that too (your first comment)… #2 on the no-calculator multiple choice I was like “ummmmmm… I should know this…”
@Nickster121 did you plug the original bounds into what u was equal to?
@kgsoccer08 Well, therein lies my problem. Dang ittttt.
After reading the discussions, I am pretty convinced that I failed the FRQ… and I’m not so confident on the MC either.
I was really hoping for a 5, but I might end up getting a 4.
And just for a confidence boost, does anyone know if the grader will grant us a point for having the right idea, but calculating the answer incorrectly? What about writing the wrong units (I think I wrote m^2/min instead of m/min^2) ?
Thanks!
^ pretty much sums up how i feel about that test.
You get a point for setting up the integral correctly and a point for the right answer i think. So if you only computed wrong, you’ll still get a point.
They only give a single point for the answer with units so I’m not really sure about that.
Oh yeah, they’ll almost always give credit for setting up the correct interval or evaluating the correct part of the problem. Like for max/min problems they normally give a point just for considering f’(x)=0
When is the answer key to the free response being posted?
End of July/beginning of August.
I thouth they said something about 2 days after the exam?
Anyway, i thought that was pretty easy, exept for like 2 subsections on fr and a few mc.
Nope. The questions come out 2 days later, but without answers.
