<p>i mean the numbers in AP tests like Calculus, Physics, and Chem, you know.
Calculus allows you to use graphic calculators, so until when am i supposed to write?? is there a rule about it?></p>
<p>and the science tests. They have those frustrating significant figures...argg</p>
<p>how specific am i supposed to write the answer down??</p>
<p>For the Calc exams it's supposed to be three digits after the decimal. You can either truncate or round- they accept both.
i.e. if you get like 12.3456..., you would put either 12.345 or 12.346.</p>
<p>Would it be okay if I write to the 4th decimal place?</p>
<p>yeah, as many decimal palces as you like. The requirement is that it has to be at least 3.</p>
<p>o great! thanks</p>
<p>and another question, how specific does your answers/justification for calc has to be?</p>
<p>Make it as concise as possible.</p>
<p>Yes, Calculus is thousandths, but don't do that for Chemistry! Chem's significant digits, remember.</p>
<p>And try to state the theroems or w/e, like the mean value theorem or the fundamental theorems of calculus. You get points for their names.</p>
<p>^ Really? My teacher never told us to do that.</p>
<p>You do not get a calculator in the Chem test (except in the equalibrium section?) so all the answers are roundings. You will find that the possible answers make room for this.</p>
<p>Like if the answer is 5 the choices are 1, 2, 5, 9, 11. NOT , 1, 3,4.5,5,5.25</p>
<p>When you don't get a calculator, they don't expect you to be precise. Do take into account significant digits though.</p>
