<p>I saw threads with this theme going around, and since a LARGE percentage of the people on CC take Calc BC, I though maybe I'd put all of the BC scores in one thread.</p>
<p>REMEMBER please talk abut your experience on the test, so that this thread is ACTUALLY helpful for future generation, a set of scores without any explanation doesn't really help ;)</p>
<p>Lets go:</p>

<p>I'm still waiting for my score, but I though the test wasn't really too bad, the NO-Cal-MC was decent, the Cal-MC was a bit easier. There were a bit more MC on series than I had hoped for, but it wasn't too bad, if you knew series. The FRQ's weren't too bad. I know I made some silly errors on them, but overall they weren't bad. </p>
<p>I think got a 5, as for my prediction, I think I probably got somewhere in the neighborhood of 64%-75% on the RAW test!!</p>
<p>I got a 5. I'm pretty sure I went 106/108 (I missed that Lagrange error bound question on one of the free responses)...so I thought the test was pretty easy.</p>
<p>I got a 5, but I struggled. I had no problems with the calculator multiple choice, but i left out 4 or 5 of the other multiple choice and guessed on a couple others. The long answers, I left feeling terrible, but we went over them in class and I realized I knew more than I thought.. but I screwed up the last question and left out 1 or 2 parts of a couple of others.</p>
<ol>
<li> I didn't think it as bad at all because my teacher prepped us A LOT, and our school has an extremely high "5" rate. Um, I know I missed a few mc and I screwed up a large portion of question 6, but other than that it was good.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>Only a little surprised. Last year's BC Calc teacher (who suuuucked) quit, and so we had a new BC teacher this year; he also teaches AP Stats at our school. He did extremely well for his first year.</li>
</ol>
<p>Anyway, I didn't walk out of that test feeling too strong. On the no-calc MC, I skipped an entire EIGHT questions, just because I didn't have time. However on the Calc MC, I'm almost positive I got 100% - I had 20 minutes to triple check my answers. I did pretty well on the FRQ, the first seemed entirely too easy and I got the Lagrange Error question, but I know I made some silly mistakes, like on the Domain and Range questions.</p>
<p>Our class covered everything except series, so pretty much the day before I skimmed through a formula sheet with all the convergence tests. But I ended up remembering them all wrong and screwed up every series-based question except the Taylor series one. The AP exam was trivial compared to the class tests my teacher gave us (we had to do epsilon-delta proofs and know the proof of most of the theorems in differential calculus). So nailing every non-series question saved my butt and got me the 5.</p>
<p>Our school of nearly 1400 only had six people taking the BC test. I felt great coming out of the test, both MC sections were far easier than practice tests I had taken (especially the calc MC). FRQ wasn't too bad, besides of course that pesky Lagrange error bound question...</p>
<p>Our teacher already covered everything before spring break. I was very delighted taking the test (call me crazy, I'm used to it). I wasn't sure on 1 no-calc mc and not very confident on another subsection of free response. I thought it was abnormally easy.</p>
<p>Teacher covered everything superbly - I thought I had gotten the LaGrange wrong because I guessed on it, but checking the textbook later I had actually done it right. Test was easy.</p>
<p>We had 250 people take the exam, and for me it definitely wasn't a GPA killer. I know my teacher would give as low as a 75 on the report card, but that was very rare... I got a 95 even though I struggled with the class.</p>
<p>I got a 5 as well - but I took it as self-study because I was doing IB Math HL at the same time (which I think was more difficult). Just to note, I took the late testing paper, which by comparison to Form A and B, was much easier. </p>
<p>The m-c for me was basically full of standard questions with a few tricks here and there - I probably got most of them. The free-response was actually different. Section A was easy (standard questions without the last, wordy, difficult-to-understand, killer question...usually part (d) or (e) in each question). Section B was easy as well, but the questions were totally different. Being familiar with IB style questions that require a lot of manipulation and insight, I could do the questions - but they were not typical AP questions (this is the non-calculator part).</p>
<p>Nonetheless, I left the room with a smile =D</p>
<p>haha....i'll be the only person taking calc BC at my school. I've heard that the Series part of BC requires a lot of memorization...is this true?</p>
<p>Back in Pre-calc (if you guys still remember :) ) we had to memorize a whole bunch of trig identities, like sin 2x, sin x/2, sin squared x, and sin (a+b). Are we going to use those in calculus?</p>
