Calc AB Exam--How'd you do?

<p>Theoneo, now are you just saying that b/c you don't like the fact that it would give me another chance (even though I'm totally entitled to it based on the annoying 3/4-hour jackhammering during the test)! Are you annoyed that I would have a second shot to do better? Or are you just providing your honest opinion? It's just that, when you don't back it up, I'm not sure. It's tough to be sure w/ CCers. A lot of CCers seem to be the cut-throat competitive types who'd do anything to gain the advantage (or prevent someone from doing the same)..... Just wondering :D</p>

<p>There is no point in retaking if you are confident that you got a high 4, and you only need a 4...</p>

<p>Yeah that's the main thing that's holding me back :D</p>

<p>.....But it's only an impression. I can never be too sure. But nah.... the Calc wasn't hard at all. Only some parts here and there (like on the FRQs) and on some MCs, but overall I'm sure I did fine. I guess I won't call. We're all right - it certainly isn't worth the trouble ;) I guess I can give the CB a break and be one less kid complaining about jackhammering during the test (or w/e other irregularities other kids have). Thanks for your advice everyone.</p>

<p>APDoolittle: I was just discussing the lack of related rates this morning (with the 2 others that took the AB exam this yr at my school), and they noticed it, too. I'm not complaining, b/c, although they're not very difficult, I forgot a lot of related rate stuff. The one kid that took the BC exam this year didn't believe me, though lol.</p>

<p>Also: good call. glad you finally came to a decision.</p>

<p>Ha! LOL. Yeah, I noticed as I went through the MC and then thought there'd be an entire question on the FR section, but.... no. That's good for us I guess. I was a little rusty w/ my related rates too. I hate how I wasted time during the exam on some sections though! I totally missed that very last question on the MC about area (on the non-calculator portion). I was wondering why I hadn't come across any until the last few seconds when I saw it, but time was up! :( Oh well..... I hate stupidly losing points like that. Not getting up to some questions and wasting time being obsessive-compulsive w/ my calulator were big mistakes that will probably mean the difference between a 4 and a 5. Oh well.... a 4 IS all I need so it's fine (if I do indeed end up getting at least a 4) ;)</p>

<p>And btw: Thanks Ziggy :D (it's the decision I was leaning towards all along).</p>

<p>The one you're talking about, the last one on non-calc...luckily we went over cross sections in a small group of the 3 testtakers the day before the exam, since we never truely covered it in class.</p>

<p>Wait... there was one on the calculator portion I think that dealt w/ cross sections.... is that the one you mean? Or was that indeed the last on from the first round of MC? I didn't get a close enough look at either :D</p>

<p>OH and aren't you taking the AP USH test tomorrow??</p>

<p>yes, I am taking APUSH.</p>

<p>hmm, maybe it was calculator...i know it was the final question in one of the sections...but the fuction was just x^2 so cross sections of square was x^2^2=x^4 with bounds and stuff.</p>

<p>Hmmm... ok.</p>

<p>It's good that you're relaxed and all, but maybe you might want to do a little light review before you hit the sack? I know around this time last year I was wrapping up w/ a practice test (which helped to keep a lot of things fresh in my mind). It's up to you. Whatever you choose to do, GOOD LUCK BUDDY! I'm sure you'll do great! I hope I was of help to you on CC w/ the AP USH advice I gave you before! Let me know after the test how u feel. I'm gonna go. Later!</p>

<p>lol, yes, I value all your pointers...Im gonna do a light review for tomorrow:)....okay, see you later.</p>

<p>Good plan. No problem. I hope all goes well! Later Ziggy :)</p>

<p>how many points do they take off if you forgot to put on pi in the volume problems?</p>

<p>How do you integrate the slope field one? It was dy/dx = (1+y)/x. Did anyone get y + y^2/2 = x^2 + C</p>

<p>you should only lose 1 pt, since the bounds and constant are generally worth 1 pt per problem.</p>

<p>the slope field integration involved ln's....ln(y+1)=ln(x) + C</p>

<p>I'm about 99% sure I got a 5</p>

<p>FRQs should be up in about 2 hrs :)...we have to get an anaylsis going.</p>

<p>my teacher already showed us the FRQ answers</p>

<p>mine would have, but we didn't have school today.</p>
