I bombed my ap calc test?

<p>*** I got 86% on my AP Calculus test! ON my last test I got a 100%..</p>

<p>But I found out everyone did bad on it. This one guy who usually struggles to get an 85 got a 65%!</p>

<p>But I was 100% confident in all of my answers. How could I have done so bad??</p>

<p>It was the unit with optimization in it, finding derivatives, sign charts etc.</p>

<p>Well, if you are doing the problems, you got wrong, incorrectly, and not realizing it, then obviously you are going to be sure you got those problems right.</p>

3

<p>Now that I think about it… I did use an extra sheet of paper to write most of my work for the problems. I think I threw it in the trash.</p>

<p>Get over yourself. An 86 on one test in an incredibly advanced subject is great. If you’re crying about that you have some serious ego problems.</p>

<p>C’est la vie</p>

<p>He mad guys.</p>

<p>Seriously, get over it. One 86% isn’t going to make a difference.</p>

7

<p>I remembering studying for that test by Tebowing for 3 minutes</p>

<p>Got a 96 HAHA</p>

<p>This is everything that is wrong with CC</p>

<p>I used to think that 86%'s on tests were bad like you, but then I took a failed test to the knee.</p>

<p>QQ</p>

<p>I’m sure with your confidence and your knowledge, you will ace the next test :)</p>

<p>86% is not bombing. Maybe you didn’t do as well as you would’ve liked but a 60% is technically bombing.</p>

<p>I find it absolutely hilarious that so many high schoolers think calculus is an advanced subject.</p>

<p>An 86? lol, congrats on your acceptance to your local community college.</p>

<p>You mad, bro? </p>

<p>But seriously, you can’t really do anything about it now. If you haven’t already, see if your teacher will let you see your test and what you did wrong. Practice those concepts that you missed. Then, remember these feelings of disappointment, and use them to make you study harder for the next test. </p>

<p>…and like everyone said, an 86 really isn’t that bad. You’ll- hopefully- have other grades that will bring it up.</p>

<p>Michael2: AP in it’s definition is advanced placement. Whether or not it’s up to your caliber is another matter.</p>

16

<p>An 86, eh? … 4 more points and that makes an A. Don’t lose sleep over this.</p>

17

<p>“This is everything that is wrong with CC”</p>

<p>Yes. Yes, it is.</p>

<p>Oh God, my Calc BC semester final is tomorrow. I also struggle with optimization and related rates… I hated that unit. I think I’ve got FTC down though! I currently have a 92 in the class so I’m hoping for a 94+ because this class is the only one that’s putting a 4.0 semester in jeopardy.</p>

<p>@helloel AP is just a category for courses; it does not mean a course is ‘incredibly advanced’ as someone commented. I too used to think calculus was advanced, but then I learned about what advanced maths were, and now I am actually taking one of those advanced math courses. It is way harder than calculus. Calculus is a basic math that that even non STEM majors are always expected to take in college. It is as fundamental as reading and writing in to days society. Would you call and AP language course incredibly advanced - well you shouldn’t, and it isn’t.</p>

<p>For a high school student, yes, calc is an advanced subject. It’s not required for graduation.</p>

<p>Calling it simple is downright arrogant and cocky.</p>
