<p>What is everyone's hunch or prediction for the various essays on the FRQ section this year? </p>
<p>-AP Chemistry: Standardization, VSEPR (with organics), and the obvious
-AP Calculus: Related Rates, I think it's coming back
-AP English Lang: A really hard synthesis topic perhaps on global warming or something on that scale. A current event topic.</p>
<p>AP US Government: My teacher says possibly Affirmative Action or Abortion (or essentially privacy issues in amendment 9)</p>
<p>related rates!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nooooooooo</p>
<p>i hate related rates, I wish they would all shrivel up and die forever!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>related rates are the problems with like...spheres and balloons and ladders and such, right??</p>
<p>Those arent TOOOOO bad! Better than taylors! Those are always on the exams!</p>
<p>I found this on a website...maybe it will help:
4. Strategy for solving related rates problems
(1) Draw and label a diagram.
(2) Write down what you wish to solve for (express it in
terms of a variable). e.g., dh/dt
(3) Identify other variables in the problem.
(4) Write equations that relate the variables.
(5) Use substitution to obtain one equation involving the
known quantities.
(6) Take the derivative of each side with respect to
time.
(7) Solve for the desired rate.
(8) Make numerical substitutions.</p>
<p>hmm.. thanks for that =] Related rates are my only enemy in calculus.. the rest I can do, but I couldnt do related rates to save my life. </p>
<p>good luck to everyone on the calc ap test!</p>
<p>AP Bio... do you think they'll ask about Chemistry and 6 Kingdom classification? Because those havent been asked since the 1990s. And maybe biochemistry since it hasn't showed up since 2001</p>
<p>APUSH- civil war to reconstruction</p>
<p>for calc, isnt related rates always usually on the frq?</p>
<p>CHEM: Titration, Heating ionic crystals with water lab question, complex ion equation, redox equation, obscure solubility rule equation with solution color question, etc.</p>
<p>That's if they really want to make you fail.</p>
<p>this thread makes me sad='[</p>
<p>BC Calculus: one on either power or Taylor series, one on polar/parametrics, and one on Euler's method and differential equations; possibly another involving the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, one with some related rates problem, and one dealing with derivatives and integrals combined, possibly using the rules of approximate integration or Riemann sums</p>
<p>the apush essay most likely wont be on the civil war or reconstruction b/c thats what the essay was on last year. oh and the dbq wont be on womens right if that helps</p>
<p>those mean people that give these tests are gonna hunt me down now that ive "discussed" the contents of the test. o well lol</p>
<p>oops i meant the dbq for APUSH
my bad</p>
<p>AP Bio - topics much harder than ecology, describing organelles, and transpiration</p>
<p>AP Chem- Ksp equilibrium, random organic compound lab, reactions: double replacement, combustion, complex ion, redox</p>
<p>AP Stat- generic regression: determine if linear, interpret slope; matched pairs t-test, blocking exp. design, investigative task: multiple inferential stat techniques used together, geometric probability</p>
<p>AP CS AB - I would almost guarantee a question on Sets and Maps. Also you know there will be something that relates to MBS.</p>
<p>I really hope there won't be a related rates question for Calc. I know I'll fail the test anyways. Everyone in my class and I feel REAALLLY unprepared for the test.</p>
<p>BUMPPPPPPPP!!!! I really wanna know what you think (and what your teachers think) will be on the Psych and Bio tests :)</p>
