AP Calculus AB 2015 Thread

Did anyone else think the first response question was unusually difficult too? I wasn’t expecting two equations that whole problem seemed so abstract to me. And @Martin18 they normally give at least a point or two for setting it up correctly which you did for the most part.

Also this is all I say for this one RRAM = 350 anybody?

Glad to know I got some things right, although 4/9 does not ring a bell but I think I was lost on that one lol.

@96blue Nothing as of yet! Although I raised my 31 ACT to a 34 last month which will hopefully help me out :slight_smile: thanks for asking!

@NIHHIHH Yeah 350. Also for time when volume= 50 do you have to do 30+ integral flow in rate - integral flowout? I messed up and added both integrals, not sure if I’ll get credit for that.

Ok FRQ #4=death. I did not get anything on that except drawing the slope field. I put m=1 and b=1 put I’m pretty sure I got that wrong. And I probably got the concavity for the solution curve wrong for that too.

Ridiculous… I did all the FRQs 2010-2014 and all those years the FRQs seemed exactly the same with different numbers ours maybe had 1 similar problem. Insane.

Yes I got 350 for that one.

I’m going to predict my scores per section

MC No Calc: 21/28
MC With Calc:16/17

FRQ 1:9/9
FRQ 2:9/9
FRQ 3:9/9
FRQ 4:2/9
FRQ 5:9/9
FRQ 6:5/9

Square CS?

yes

Yeah @APScholar18 I thought this test was going to be a piece of cake and then low and behold they decide to change everything up besides that related rates question. The multiple choice seemed on par with other years though.

And @Martin18 that’s what I did too for time when volume= 50 but I felt I might have put my calculations in wrong though.

the test was soooo hard! Did anyone get that that the concavity would be down? Also, when it asked for whether it was max min or neither, was it neither?

I put neither as well because f’ was constantly increasing at that point.

And since we’re doing score predictions

MC No Calc: 20/28
MC With Calc:13/17

FRQ 1:4/9
FRQ 2:7/9
FRQ 3:7/9
FRQ 4:3/9
FRQ 5:5/9
FRQ 6:3/9

Hope that’s enough for a three

@NIHHIHH That’s a borderline 5.

@NIHHIHH that might actually be enough for a 5 haha

Yeah that raw score is a 69/108. Usually the score for a 5 you need is a 68-72. To get a 3 you need like 38 and to get a 4 you need like 50.

Yeah I think I said it was neither for that one.

I got concave up because when you take the second derivative you got something similar to 2-2x+y and since it was in quadrant 2 the x values are always negative and the y values are positive, so any x value will be positive when multiplied with -2
