<p>To whoever mentioned that the BC kids had the same question as #5:
My teacher said that BC always has 3 of the same questions in the frq section as AB and that is how you can get an AB subscore on your BC test. it was definitely an AB level question though.</p>
<p>Yeah, it was just a really hard differential.</p>
<p>Do you guys think that since this was an “experimental year” that could cause the curve to be nicer? I hope so… I was just looking at the % of 5’s last years, and it seemed like they always go up after going down and in 2010 they went down
Plus I keep hearing things about how more and more kids aren’t doing well in AP’s across the nation, etc</p>
<p>wishful thinking? ^</p>
<p>I think my friend put it best as we were walking out of the PAC where we took our tests: “Haha, no.”</p>
<p>Admittedly, I’m not very good at calculus, barely scraping a B the entire year and I was absolutely miserable the entire test. By the time I got to the final FRQs, I couldn’t help but resign myself to the fact that I’ll probably have to take calc again in college. C’est la vie, right?</p>
<p>I was wanna make sure I had this right haha idk if its considered a dumb question, what is the antiderivative of sin(pi x)?</p>
<p>-cos(pi x)/pi + C
chain rule</p>
<p>coolkid:</p>
<p>-cos(pi*x) / pi + C</p>
<p>Yo, that exam was a thriller. But I guess my opinion shouldn’t count because I was suppose to go to BC Calculus but was instead forced into easy AB.</p>
<p>I don’t want to directly refer to a free response question yet but does the number 1411 seem famliar to any of you.</p>
<p>Possibly…</p>
<p>It feels good to recognize some numbers. cos(-1), 1411. Only iffy one left is 1/pi.</p>
<p>…also possibly…</p>
<p>Yeah, my friends and I talked about that number 5. And I realized that i used the wrong method to do the whole question.</p>
<p>Thanks guys! I got that right,just wanted to make sure haha and as everyone said mc was pretty easy but noncalculator frq were horrible! Expecially #5, I think #6 too but I don’t remember what it was about</p>
<p>Yeah, I definitely missed 5a…
But I think I got 5b and part of, if not most of 5c (hopefully) 
I’m not so sure about #4 and #6, those I also had troubles with at parts</p>
<p>I won’t talk about it specifically, but did you guys have trouble with 3b I think it was ? That type of problem was my speciality that I was sure I’d get +9 on, except this year’s rly threw me off because I got a weird answer… Did anyone else get a weird answer?</p>
<p>Since it wasn’t calculator and there was two different…er “aspects”, I think it’s okay that it’s weird since you can’t exactly simplify that kind of thing? Anyone with me??</p>
<p>why are some people talking about simplifying free response? the first thing I learned in calc was to simplify at your own risk</p>

I believe I ended up with an irrational denominator, something the ap tests don’t do that often.</p>
<p>It seems like in the past, the ap tests have had nice, simple answers. It is unusual for them to have irrational denominators or trig values that are not on the unit circle.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I got a 5. I only guessed on about 3 or 4 MC questions through the whole thing. But what worries me is number 5 on the frq. I probably got +0 on it I really had no idea what to do and kept getting obviously wrong answers. The other questions I felt like I did pretty solid on. Seeing peoples reactions to it I’m sure the multiplier will be high.</p>
<p>I didn’t find 5 to be too bad, I had most trouble with 4. Th only part of 5 that I had no idea how to do was part b.</p>
<p>Number 4 was the most stressful for me. I am very confident about my answers for all of 1,2,3,5,6, but I realized (after the fact) that I definately did part c of 4 wrong. Might have done part of a wrong. b and d were not too bad.</p>
