Calc AB Exam--How'd you do?

<p>I thought the test was a joke. I finished both the MC in half of the alloted time and left none blank. Im not trying to brag it is just that everything we had done in class was a lot harder. As far as the Free Response goes. The calculator questions were all very easy and straight forward. Except maybe Question 1 part c.) I used a method that is not introduced until BC. For the non calc they were all pretty easy. And yes I got something messy for number 5.</p>

<p>I did the exact values.. if they just wanted the whole numbers then im writing college board. lol</p>

<p>So then you all used the exact values for the left turn question? I don't think the test-makers made it clear enough, but that could just be me.</p>

<p>And also, how did you all find, for what I think was the first FR question, where lnx=x+2 without using a calculator? I thought they said that even if you used a calculator, you still had to show your work.</p>

<p>I think when a calculator is best used they don't expect you to show work on how you solve x from lnx-x-2 = 0.</p>

<p>MC was easy. I left 3 blanks.</p>

<p>I didn't do well on non-calc FRQs.</p>

<p>In the calculator filled portion, regarless of the question, you just need to write what you are evaluating. If it is and integral, all you need are bounds, and integrand and an answer. I thought the MC was easy, so were most of the FR, but I think I got a wrong final answer for #5. Maybe 7/9, according to last years scoring.</p>

<p>With the second part of the slope field one, did anyone get an answer that involved ln for the integral of the dy/dx that the test gave.</p>

<p>barce: I was going to use different methods but i read on past FR scoring things that said like "0/3 for part c if R(x)^2-r(x)^2 is not used, so i always used disk, instead of shell.</p>

<p>in general it wasn't too bad, i think I left 1 calc MC blank, now I wish I had guessed b/c i had narrowed it down a little. I think I missed maybe 6 MC and I think i got prolly 7 or 8s on all the FR (i mean, i got the answers, but i always omit something that gives you points...i did remember units :)).</p>

<p>the multpiple choice was pretty easy but the free responses were killer</p>

<p>For the question about finding K and A, they never asked for K. They just wanted the equation of the line and provided enough information, and a convenient point, so that K did not matter. As far as A, I don't remember if that was explicitly asked for.</p>

<p>I thought MC was easy for both calc and no calc. The free responce was quite easy as well. I messed up on the slope dif eq because I treated the constant incorrectly and brought it down before solving for it. So I got a linear function while I should have ended up with a curving fuction. Too bad I couldn't use a calc to look at my eq before I wrote it down... O well.</p>

<p>I would say I got -1 or 2 on multiple choice and probably 48-52/54 on FR.</p>

<p>i got about -20 on mc. and probably an 8-10 out of 54 on fr.</p>

<p>i 5'd it, lol it pretty good except for like maybe 2 parts on the whole entire test, i hope i get a 5!!!!!!!1</p>

<p>either a * or a 1. a 2 if i am lucky</p>

<p>But since almost everyone said it was an easy exam, I don't think it would be THAT easy to get a 5.</p>

<p>wait...so what's the actual answer to the differential equation?</p>

<p>how many points will they take off if I left off an absolute value off my final answer(referring to diff. eq.)?</p>

<p>did you guys get y=e^(ln|x|+ln(2)) -1?</p>

<p>I'll delete this as soon as someone confirms.</p>

<p>nopeeeee did you forget c?</p>

<p>no ln(2) is my C</p>
