<p>If I got about 75 % of the non-calc mc right and 90% of the calc mc right and did poorly on two frq’s and did well on the others, is a 5 still possible? What should I expect?</p>
<p>I just realized…I Eff’d number 6 up. I took the limit of both, but said Sin(0) = 1. I AM AN IDIOT! So I got -1, and 1, and then made up so BS excuse why they are equal. Instead of freaking out under the time limit, I should have took a second and fixed my obvious mistake.
Then, for part B, I read it was f’(3) not f’(x) = 3. So I now I look like a major idiot.
And I didn’t write down what I did for the last part, but I’m sure I messed that up too and the grader probably thinks I’m the biggest idiot alive. </p>
<p>I don’t care about #5, I figured out most of it after the test, but oh well.</p>
<p>But number 6…so easy. Ugh!</p>
<p>^^ if ur free responses were 7,7,7,7,3,3 you would have a safe 5</p>
<p>Hey quick question.
Why does #3c have to be (1-8x^3)^2 and (1-sin(pix))^2 instead of (8x^3-1)^2 and (sin(pix)-1)^2? Aren’t these equivalent? Do you think I’d get any points for (8x^3-1)^2 and (sin(pix)-1)^2?</p>
<p>no you’ll get no points for 3.c. it has to be 1- not -1; they are not equivalent.</p>
<p>Aboveblues–Well, you may get some points for 3c. Sometimes you can get points for having the correct limits on your integral. But what you had was not the correct way to rotate the graph around y = 1</p>
<p>(1-f(x))^2=(f(x)-1)^2</p>
<p>Is it just improper form to use the latter, hence not earning points?</p>
<p>We just went over it in class. My teacher said it was the easiest free response section in a decade. Kids in my class started crying. I got, with the most lenient grader possible, maybe a 29/54. I hate Calculus</p>
<p>I thought it was very easy compared to past FRQ sections. Nobody else taking the test at my HS did, though.</p>
<p>Would you get the points if for the volume you did </p>
<p>(Integral) (0,.5) (g(x)-1)^2 -(f(x) -1)^2 </p>
<p>instead of </p>
<p>(Integral) (0,.5) (1-g(x))^2 -(1-f(x))^2</p>
<p>^Apparently not, even though those integrands are equal. :(</p>
<p>you still might get points for the correct limits</p>
<p>Ok, freaking story of my life:</p>
<p>I forgot my calculator to the AP test. It was TI-nSpire CAS</p>
<p>And all I had was a Casio scientific in my pocket.</p>
<p>Out of probably some holy force from the Calculus Gods, the proctors didn’t like my calculator since it wasn’t on the graphing calculator list, although it was a simple scientific calculator.</p>
<p>So they held on to it and lend me a TI-89 for the test.</p>
<p>Freaking crazy. I still haven’t recovered from that test and its difficulty in FR.</p>
<p>easiest ap test of my whole life. I LOVE CALCULUS!!</p>
<p>hey does anyone know if we are still awarded partial credit for doing calculus correctly but starting off wrong? For number 5, part c of the frq i separated incorrectly, but the rest of my steps were accurate.</p>
<p>Calc exam was iffy, however if everyone’s work on the free response is correct, i didnt do too bad. 3 maybe a 4</p>
<p>@aa2011 and ichheisseman (posts #332 and 333): You DO get credit for that response.</p>
<p>@coffeespoons: If you look at old exam grading scores, you’ll see that for separating correctly you only get a couple points, but at the bottom there is a note that says, for example “If separation is incorrect, maximum score is 5/9” or sometimes even less than that. So even if you get everything else right, they might penalize you more than usual for not separating the variables right.</p>
<p>whats a derivative?</p>
<p>I found the MC relativley easy and the frq SUPER easy. easy 5.</p>
