<p>I believe it’s only the questions.</p>
<p>did anyone get 27 for part d of question 6 on the bc exam</p>
<p>The questions for the AB FRQ are pretty much like the previous years’ FRQs, albeit in different situations. If you think about it, they can be tackled in pretty much the same manner. Adding/removing snow, people coming in/people going out, etc. You can see a definite pattern. So if you really know how to do it, it shouldn’t matter that much.</p>
<p>At first I thought it was hard because the scenarios were different from before. I’ve never seen a problem with piecewise defined, etc from past FRQs. But once I thought about it, they were all the same.</p>
<p>Yea I think you’re right.</p>
<p>That would be nice.</p>
<p>I was hoping for some inverse trig derivatives + antiderivatives and more sums (riemann), but there wan’t much of that. So many of the functions were undefined, so you just sat there finding the area of triangles. And then there were a lot of questions assessing your understanding of undefined curves and the first and second derivative. </p>
<p>Anyways, I thought the multiple choice was considerably easy. The non-calc did only leave me with around 5 minutes to spare, but the calculator section left me with almost half the time.
The FRQ’s were okay. I thought the calculator section was a lot easier than the non-calc, as #3 challenged me a bit, and that was it. And then for the non-calc, #5 took some time, and #6 was a bit weird. I think I might have just not understood what they were asking, and it was a lot easier than I thought it was. >_> I was a bit lost, so I just wrote as much down as I could.</p>
<p>This year’s AP Calculus BC exam was probably about the same or possibly a little more difficult comparing to previous years. Comparing with 2009 FR, the level of difficulty is about the same. Comparing with 2008 MC and FR, the level of difficulty is definitely higher this year.</p>
<p>I think I did good on the Multiple Choice (Answered 42, omitted 3). Knowing how I always manage to make a stupid mistake with calculations, I’ll leave a wide margin of error and assume I miss about 10 (let’s make it 12 for easier calculations’ sake). So I get 30 right, 12 wrong, so that’s 27 * 1.2 = about 34 points.</p>
<p>I think I did decent on the Free Response, blanking out on two parts in number #3 the first 45 minutes, but remembering how to do them two minutes before time was called during the last 45 minutes. I had no calculator, so I managed to only get the parts that didn’t require a calculator. I also blanked out in #6, though I’m sure I got partial points. To leave a margin of error, I’ll assume that I got a few points deducted in #1, #2, #4, and #5 but made up for those points in #3 and #6. I probably scored in the mid-30s and if lucky the low 40s. </p>
<p>So total would be around high 60s to low 70s taking into account that I’m assuming the worst. Usually the cutoff for a 5 is mid-60s, so I think I’m safe for a 5…hopefully. 
</p>
<p>I can’t wait for the scores…it looks like it’s gonna be a close call!</p>
<p>lol everyone here just “defied” college board rules.</p>
<p>i have reported this thread to the college board</p>
<p>have fun with your canceled scores guys</p>
<p>ur weird why would you do that to these people? and how are you going to find out there names</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure its if we actually discuss the specifics i.e the exact wording of the questions and step by step how we solved the question that we would have our scores cancelled. discussing whether or not we thought the test was hard doesn’t constitute for an immediate cancellation…</p>
<p>Yeah you have to discuss specific parts of a question, such as what it was asking or what example was used, or the answers (obviously).</p>
<p>Saying “I didn’t know how to do the third question” or something is fine.</p>
<p>even still how would you plan on finding out who each member is?</p>
<p>BC: </p>
<p>No-calc MC was really easy, I probably missed like one and left none blank. Calc MC was harder, left 3 blank and got at least 2 wrong for sure. </p>
<p>FRQ’s were kinda weird. 1 and 2 I might have gotten right or totally wrong. 3 was easy, I had to do d) without a calculator. 4 was an easy problem. I don’t even remember what 5 was. 6 I bombed. </p>
<p>Hopefully I got a 5, since the curve is generous most of the time. And I’m glad that there were no polar areas.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I actually would prefer if there was polar…because I really was expecting it lol</p>

<p>^ Same here. I was hoping there would be one. XD</p>
<p>On the AB exam, for I think the fifth question, the one where it gave you a set of data that were ballot counts for naming an elephant or something:</p>
<p>Was the data it gave you the number of ballots in the box at that time, or was it the rate ballots were being added to the box? I thought it was the first one, but one of my friends swears it was second and I’m really nervous I screwed up the problem.</p>
<p>Sorry, but I think it was the rate. If it were the actual number then an integral estimation technique wouldn’t make any sense.</p>
<p>I thought it was the actual number too, Quandary. I don’t remember what the questions were or how I did it, but I thought it was the number…</p>
<p>i doubt they would go through the hassle of finding out who everyone is via IP adress</p>
