Holy TI-89 titanium, could I pass?!?

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation
1

<p>I just took a practice exam for AP Calculus AB. It was a princeton review multiple choice test #1 (from 2006 book) and the 2004 released free response questions. I got a 29.5 raw score on multiple choice (25 correct x 1.2 and 2 wrong...skipped a whopping 18) and 26 on the FRQ. I found a chart: </p>

<p>72–108 ----5<br>
56–71----4<br>
39–55 ----3<br>
25–38 ----2<br>
0–24 ----1 </p>

<p>This places me at a very, very low four. While some of you may not be too happy with that, you don't know my school. No one has gotten above a 3 on it in SEVEN years. (I go to a small town, under-served public school.) Should I take this as an initiative to try to get a 5? Is there any way that I can boost my score up to what may possible get me to a five before Wed.? We only spend 2 weeks on integrals (stupid block scheduling, teacher doesn't care), so I had to teach myself those. I would be thrilled if I got a four, ecstatic if I could manage a 5.</p>

<p>Do you think that the practice test I took is about the same level that the actual test will be?</p>

<p>Wow, you skipped 18 questions? You should review calculus again and learn topics that you have not covered in class. And maybe you should take the initiative to get a 4 or 5.</p>

<p>Don’t listen to the ■■■■■ above me. It’s interesting to see how you skipped 18 though, as Jerry said. Go over what topics you are shaky with.</p>

<p>You should have self-studied more if you knew your course was so horrible. you can manage a 4 since you just did, it will take some work to get to a 5.</p>

<p>2 weeks on integrals? I’m in BC so I don’t know how AB works but that sounds like a huge oversight?!</p>

<p>Yeah, I was surprised that I skipped 18. I probably could have gotten a few right, but I only answered the ones I was positive about. Which was all but 2. </p>

<p>My class is a little on the slow side, and my teacher wanted to make sure that everyone understood derivatives, which didn’t even happen. I started the class in the middle of January, so we did have a short semester…</p>
