How was calculus BC

<p>I pretty much agree with what a lot of people have already said: MC no-calc was okay, MC with calc was easy, and I thought most of the FR was brutal. Hopefully I pulled off a 3, no thanks to the FR.</p>

<p>Am I the only person who thought the FR was the easiest part?</p>

<p>Naa. I agree.</p>

<p>Scoring Sheet for BC Calculus</p>

<p>Section I - Part A</p>

<p>(No. Correct) ___________ </p>

<p>is 7 omits for the MC section bad (they were all on the non-calc portion)?</p>

<p>I think ~65 is what you need for a 5 on BC.</p>

<p>ummm no. that conversion table sucks</p>

<p>5 64-108 40.2%
4 53-63 17.5%
3 36-52 23.1%
2 26-35 9.1%
1 1-25 10.2%</p>

<p>that is the 2003 cut scores</p>

<p>for 1998 the cut score for a 5 was 65.</p>

<p>ugh im really hoping for a 5. My school only gives credit for those. And, i already have credit for Calculus 1, and i dont want to learn it again... ugh. I think i did well enough but you never know.</p>

<p>So far I think I got (worst case):</p>

<p>40/45 on the MC</p>

<p>I made a couple of silly mistakes, the biggest one being tricking myself into using an improper integral (I can't believe I missed that one, a whole 9 points!), so I probably got</p>

<p>41/54</p>

<p>= 89/108 = 82% - what would that be?</p>

<p>that's definitely a 5, One. a pretty high one at that.</p>

<p>Sweet.
I think I managed to pull off a 3.
Here's what I think my score will be
(MC no calc + MC calc) * 1.2 + FRQ 1to 6
(0 + 10) * 1.2 + 6 + 3 + 6 + 6 + 6+6
= 46</p>

<p>That would be a 5 :P</p>

<p>MC non calc was a monster...I skipped 9.
MC Calc.....Complete joke, except one of them, which required actual thinking.</p>

<p>FRQ-calc...The first one was relatively easy, think i got all 9 pts....II was hard, we never learned that stuff....III was easy fo sheezy
FRQ-non calc...easy medium HARD...wow.....the last question raped me, not only did i run out of time, I guessed on most of it</p>

<p>My school gives credit for 4's or 5's on either AB or BC so...If my AB subscore is atleast a 4, It'll be just as good as a 5 on BC (which is what i took)</p>

<p>i'm going with a total of 67 raw score for me (this is assuming i got 3 wrong of the MC that i thought i got right and 2 points off each FRQ that i thought i got right)
meh, really close to the borderline, but i'm happy with a 4</p>

<p>i'd agree with kornpopz, left 7 blank on the first and then might have aced the second mc
except i didnt know how to do III on either of the FRQ's</p>

<p>MC was overwhelmingly easy, I'm almost sure I got 54 points on that.</p>

<p>Probably missed a couple points on the FR cause of units or not justifying extremas well enough on #2 (it was just the intersections, endpoints, and t=3, right?)...maybe 51 points on FR is what I'm expecting.</p>

<p>so 105/108. Is that a 3 or 4?</p>

<p>that's 6 :)</p>

<p>actually that's a DQ for discussing test questions/answers</p>

<p>have a nice day :)</p>

<p>Are you kidding?!? "Is that a 3 or 4?"</p>

That's definitely a 1!</p>

<p>More like a 0.</p>

<p>What are you talking about? The first derivative of that is negative and the function satisfies the initial condition f(0)=-5, so the answer is clearly -1.</p>
