AP Calculus AB

<p>Discuss.</p>

<p>I thought MC was OK, I only skipped 6 in the non-calculator and 0 in the calculator part. </p>

<p>FR: Horrendous. Five minutes into the section we all just looked up at each other and were like "WT*??" Discussing with my peers afterward, not one of us finished a whole problem, only bits and pieces. Pretty much we all just got raped by calculus. Not sure yet if this is how it was everywhere or if we have a mediocre teacher or if we just all suck. </p>

<p>And this was the AP test I was most likely to get a 5 on...</p>

<p>MC was extremely easy. I skipped skipped 7 on the non-calculatory part, but the ones I did I'm sure I got right. On the calculator section, skipped 1. Pretty sure I got at least 70% of the questions right.</p>

<p>Free Response was a lot harder than I expected. I found myself losing concentration a lot through the test.Ugh. They curve these, right? lol.</p>

<p>I was completely blind sided by the FR. I got a 5 on the 2003 released exam and I was completely shocked at how hard the FR was. MC was ok, omitted 2 on non-calc and 0 on calc. hopefully it will bolster my grade.</p>

<p>MC was extremely easy for me that I got upset when I omitted three questions total due to time. FR was more difficult but I was able to solve them all except one part of a question. For some reason, I took a lot of time in the first question that I consider to be the easiest of FR. The last one was a bit fun for me.</p>

<p>Expecting a 4, but could get a 5 depending on the curve.</p>

<p>I thought the MC was easy and just skipped the ones I didn't think I had right. FR was insane...I only answered 2 or 3 fully.</p>

<p>In my class, lots of kids read the questions and just gave up. Did this happen anywhere else?</p>

<p>I thought the MC were easier than previous tests. After I finished Part I I was pretty confident I could get a 4 or a 5...Then there were the Free Responses. I think I only answered 2 questions completely...they were insane!</p>

<p>We did all the released AP tests from like 1985 and on and it seems like they got much harder as each year passed. Maybe it's a trend which we painfully experienced today?</p>

<p>Honestly, that was brutal. MC was pretty simple (I skipped 12 but that's because I suck at guessing and I'm 95% sure I got the rest right). But the FRQs destroyed any chances I had for a five. I'm actually praying for a three now. I don't know. The only good thing is that everyone in our class felt that way. It's sort of sad really. Last year we had 20 fives, 4 fours, and 3 two. I wonder how this year's class will fare...</p>

<p>-The Brutal Coot66</p>

<p>I finished the second part of the mc section with about 20 minutes left, so me n my classmates were pretty confident that we were gonna do well. Then wen we turned to the FR, we all just started laughing so hard. All i have to say is that that was the hardest FR i have ever done, and our class had run thru countless practice tests from previous ap exams. i thought the difficulty level was uncalled for just hope that theres a nice big curve lol</p>

<p>Those FR were much harder than the ones on past exams. The classes at my school have spent the past 3 weeks doing all the FR from the last 8 or 9 years. I thought I'd have it down, but some of them completely blindsided me. Based on the fact that everyone seemed to have so many problems with them and my confidence in the MC, I think I'll definitely still get a 4 maybe a 5 if the curve is as generous as I hope.</p>

<p>I skipped quite a few on the non-calc MCs, most of time due to not finishing in time. I skipped one on the calc portion but knowing me I probably missed alot of the ones I didn't skip due to careless errors >_></p>

<p>I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who thought the FRs were hard! Halfway into it, I was panicking and wanted to run out XD But I managed to at least write something down for every part, even though alot of them had nothing to do with the question >_< I really hope for a 4 ... it's just annoying to think of all that money and effort wasted for a 2 or 3 since I spent more time studying this AP than any others.</p>

<p>i'm never self studying a math ap again lol</p>

<p>I managed to do all my MC questions because the ones I didn't really understand came to me when I was rechecking all my answers, I thanked God.</p>

<p>And then there were the Free Responses. LOL I died on those, not only did I initially not know how to do them, I kept putting the answer for part c of a question in the wrong blank like 3 times! (part b then part c but thought it was wrong so I put it in part d only to do part d and realize it should be in part c) So that took A LOT of time.</p>

<p>I ended up answering all of them except for ONE part a of the green booklet, I didn't have enough time to jot down what theorem it was, but I hope they give me points for the math I did.</p>

<p>So it's either a 5 or 4, I'm pretty confident about MC though so I hope it offsets my free response. </p>

<p>Lit tomorrow.</p>

<p>I thought:</p>

<p>MC part A: Harder than any of the past ones that I have done, but not impossible.</p>

<p>MC part B: Pretty easy =)</p>

<p>FR-All of it: WTH. So hard. Although I finished most, I don't think I did too well.</p>

<p>That was, by far the hardest thing I've ever taken in my life. It reminded me a lot of the AP Stats FR last year where everyone in my class had NO clue how to do a lot of it hahah. The only people who thought it was easy were my friends who are extremely smart, but don't practice that much of calculus since MOST of the problems were more FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THIS rather than testing knowledge on calculus-- except for #1.</p>

<p>I was extremely confident I was going to get at least a 3. Not sure now. I'm hoping it's like the AP stats curve last year where I didn't fill out 50% of the FR and still managed to get a 4.</p>

<p>i knew prolly half of the FR, the rest was just... blah... i hope there is a generous curve, i really really really want a <em>4</em></p>

<p>::sigh::</p>

<p>as for multiple choice... part b>part a, for me... i answered roughly 3/4 of the MC... mostly from not knowing anything...</p>

<p>That FR section sure was a confidence breaker...</p>

<p>The FR was interesting to say the least. That curve better be mighty generous. :)</p>

<p>multiple choice was extremely easy for me..left none blank, as usual...thought i aced it
free response...all i have to say is wow, the people at college board really nailed us. so f'in hard. prolly got a little more than half? rest i just improvised and guessed
.
i went in expecting a 5 no problem, didn't even study...there better be a sick curve b/c of the FR...whatevaaaaa</p>

<p>haha it was like
lalalla .... OH CRAP</p>

<p>I went into the test thinking like... I love calculus. I know it.</p>

<p>Now, however, I am like... I know nothing about calculus.</p>
