Anyone have any tips or predictions (FRQ) for the upcoming AP Calculus BC exam on May 9th.
I’m just crossing my fingers for no Logistic equations on the FRQ. My teacher never bothered to go over them, so the only exposure I’ve had is from practice exams.
@ObitoSigma DUDE IKR
Do we have to memorize the logistics equations? If we do I’m kinda screwed O.o - my teacher spent like a day on them and then moved on, stating they wouldn’t be a major part of the exam.
Right, the practice tests I’ve done only had one logistic differential equation MC question each, and that was it.
Would you like to come to my funeral? Because the FRQ killed me.
It wasn’t that bad. MC was easy; I finished the Calculator-portion in only 20 minutes. The worst was the last part of the first calculator question.
The MC wasn’t bad at all; but the FRQs blew us all away. Had everything my teacher actually hadn’t taught us solidly. I know I got some points but probably missed a lot on the FRQs. MC maybe missed 4-6 maximum in total.
What form did everyone have? O was killer (thats the one I had) but apparently the others weren’t bad. I hope CollegeBoard controls for this when evaluating the score cutoffs.
I did the class independent study, the first Mc wasn’t too bad, just a couple unsure ones. The calculator section was way too easy, only 4 bc questions done in like 11 minutes. The frqs weren’t too bad, but I thought the ab ones were harder than bc (thank god for that polar and Maclaurin question). The first frq was probably the hardest.
I had C and the free response killed me…
I had form O… FRQs were absolutely ridiculous. Just to provide everyone with some context, at my school last year, more than half the kids in our BC Calc class scored a 5. Our teacher prepares us very well. The FRQs were torture, multiple choice relatively easy. The exam was completely different than previous years and everything we practiced. Hopefully the curve is huge.
^^
Any ideas for what the 5 cutoff will be for form O? Both of the MC sections were easy but those FRQ were just killer.
@lucky0318 My situation exactly, I had form O as well and I have to agree 100%. Our class did 3-5 practice exams and I did additional revisions by looking at a couple of past FRQs and the FRQs were still difficult.
I forgot to answer all of the parts on question 6, didn’t know how to do the differential equation one, who integrated it normally and hoped for the best, and totally bombed the polar one as well. I think I got the other ones though, but always could be wrong
Those FRQs were tough though.
Anybody know if forms get curved differently because like I had form O and we all know how that went down
I think the cutoff score for a 5 will be around 60
RIP to everyone with form O who was hoping for no polar questions
