OFFICIAL AP Calculus BC 2012 Test Thread

<p>I had less than or equal to 1 and greater than or equal to -1. Did you check the endpoints?</p>

<p>Someone make a tinychat to discuss. </p>

<p>It was REALLY easy in my opinion. The free response was a joke, especially the first two questions.</p>

<p>Btw my favorite interval is -1 lessthan/equal to x less than/equalto 1.</p>

<p>I got the endpoint t 1, but how did you check for convergence at -1?</p>

<p>That’s what I got brah. Both endpoints diverged by nth term test. Any more Qs?</p>

<p>Except it was an alternating series so they do converge…brah.</p>

<p>I felt like I did pretty well on it. Though sometimes I make errors for not reading the questions completely</p>

<h2>For FRQ #1, did we also have to say the y coordinates for the point of inflection and rel max? I only gave the x coordinates.</h2>

<h2>And did we have to say the radius of convergence for the series one?</h2>

<p>You guys think I’ll get points off for forgetting dt at the end of an integral even if everything else is right?</p>

<p>The FRQ were ridiculously easy. I think I missed 3-5 MC questions because of stupid mistakes, but I felt really good about everything!</p>

<p>WOW…ridiculously easy…definitely 5 :):slight_smile:
how did u guys do?</p>

<p>Jeezz I didn’t think it was THAT easy. Logistic growth gave me a little trouble and I was dumb and ran out of time on the vector question</p>

<p>I can’t believe how humble everyone on here is! I’m glad you guys are all certain you got 5s!</p>

<p>Cfcight25, I felt the same way</p>

<p>Quick survey: did any of you guys have a “solids/volumes of revolution” problem on one of your FRQs? I didn’t. I think I should leave this thread now, seeing as the international and domestic tests were clearly not the same. :P</p>

<p>I had the interval converging on both ends… -1 was due to the alternating series and right end I did the ratio test. otherwise the free response were pathetic…</p>

<p>calgirl15 I didn’t have a volumes of revolution problem and I didn’t take the international test</p>

<p>@ lizzie16: OK, that’s what I thought. Interesting how they decided to focus on series/methods of estimating values of functions this year…</p>

<p>yeah I kind of wish we had had a solids problem…</p>

<p>Interesting stuff… also, was it just the international test, or did you guys also have a LOT of questions pertaining to maxima/minima/concavity/relationships between original functions, derivatives, and double derivatives?</p>

<p>I felt like it was suspiciously easy. ended up with 15 minutes left by the end of both mc and 20 minutes left by the end of the frq, and I had enough time to check over all the questions and have time left over still. no trying to be a prick or anything but I felt like the older frq and mc’s were harder.</p>

<p>Oh my gosh it was bad. I forgot everything about series. So I didn’t even try doing the last problem. There were just so many things on it that I did not know or even saw and I had the PR book</p>
