<p>not too bad overall, somewhat long. the last section sucked with that one question...</p>
<p>what was the last section on?</p>
<p>Differential equations.</p>
<p>Can someone please tell me the total length of the test, including how long it took you to complete it?</p>
<p>5 sections - took me about an 1.5 hours</p>
<p>it wasnt too bad, just dont make careless mistakes. not something you can really study for.</p>
<p>Math Background:
800 in SAT and SAT2 Math2C <em>standard ammount of time</em>
5 BC Calc in Junior Year
Took a class on Discrete Maths this year <em>and got to play with robots</em> GO ROBOTS!!!</p>
<p>i just finished took a REAALLY Long time <em>3hours</em>(I have dyslexia), and got a 28 out of 40. There were so many problems that I felt I would have known If I took this right after I had taken the AP exam.</p>
<p>I spent 90 minutes on the last section though and only got a 2 :(</p>
<p>Go Class of 2009!!!!</p>
<p>hey I think a 28 is really good, considering some of that stuff hasn't really been covered in the most advanced high school classes. do you know what score you need to place out of co-calc?</p>
<p>no Idea... Though it seems from their description of Co-Calc that you could do well on the Calculus based stuff, but poorly on the Algebra-like stuff. </p>
<p>Well at least it is over with... I'm not even sure if I want to place out of the beginner Calc Classes.</p>
<p>I took almost 3 hours to do it and I don't have dyslexia, but I did check all my work. 3 on the last section for me.. just lovely. I didn't understand one of the questions and just couldn't make another one work.</p>
<p>I just used the dyslexia as an excuse here. I saw the person say it took them 1.5 Hours, and well.... I have no problem with numbers, it is words I have problems with, not reading them but writing them out, and making what I have in my head seem coherent on paper. </p>
<p>Were points taken off for incorrect answers?</p>
<p>My son's had Calc I and II and Calculus in 3 Dimensions at the college level and claimed that he hadn't seen most of the stuff on Differential Equations in the 5th section. </p>
<p>Had anyone covered that material in one of their first couple of Calc classes or was it there just to see how far you could go?</p>
<p>Well, I thought I'd covered 4 out of the 6 questions, but I missed one... either because I didn't know it or was careless.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if points are taken off for incorrect answers, but I would think so. I don't think they would have advised us to leave problems blank if incorrect answers didn't count against us. It was that way on the discrete math placement test, at least.</p>
<p>You probably still have a pretty good chance of passing out of calc considering that they factor in your SAT math, calc BC, and the placement test.</p>

I took AP Calc BC, and the only question that our material didn't cover in section 5 (as far as I know) was the one differential equation question (I guess I would call it a more than first degree differential equation(?)). There was an integral problem in that section that I was unable to solve, but that was probably my fault.</p>
<p>I felt the same way about those two questions, and i don't know what the 3rd one i missed was... I checked my work.</p>
<p>Odd. He said his Calc II class spent most of its time on approximations which weren't covered by the test.</p>
<p>That's annoying. I looked up the course he took at college and compared it to the AP course. When I read the college course description it sounds just like the AP class. The list of chapters covered in their calculus book in the syllabus doesn't match what's in the description. </p>
<p>I'm going to have a serious talk with a Dean if the actual college course really didn't cover the same material as the AP course and my son has to take Calc II over as a result.</p>
<p>Well, the Calc BC AP covers series and sequences which weren't on it either. I hated approximations when we did them... takes too much time and it's more number crunching than anything.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info.</p>
<p>Are all of the questions multiple choice?</p>
