***OFFICIAL AP Calculus BC Thread 2013***

<p>@psmusic how did you find it easier or tougher compared to previous years?</p>

<p>I owned that exam! Answers everything. Knew everything. </p>

<p>Hot damn! That was a good exam!</p>

<p>It wasn’t too bad. #2 on the FR killed me because I hadn’t studied the topic and ran out of time. But the other FRQs were pretty easy, and the MC was decent, so I’m happy.</p>

<h1>2 was surprisingly short, though.</h1>

<p>Compared to the past exams…I feel the questions were expected. For #5 my class laughed at becausd we just did one of the parts and I could hear my teacher saying, “This letter is worth at least 5 or 6 points!”</p>

<p>Darn you polar! Ousted me again!</p>

<p>the non calculator mc killed me!!</p>

<p>that series frq problem…wow…</p>

<p>yeah, I didn’t study polar curves either :/</p>

<p>A lot of people in my class said the series was easy, but what would I know? I didn’t even do it!</p>

<p>As long as you remember x=rcostheta and y=rsintheta, you’re set for any polar question.</p>

<p>Easiest exam i ever took! Got everything right!</p>

<p>When it asked for area of the loop, its from 0 -> pi/2</p>

<p>Just took it

<p>I surprised everyone is complaining about the polar. I thought it was easy.
But that euler’s method question… I haven’t done that much long multiplication by hand since 8th grade x.x… almost forgot that you don’t line up decimal places. Hope they don’t take of points for not simplifying because I left my answer as a bunch of numbers added together x3.
I terms of MC, no calculator was kinda hard, but calculator was really easy.</p>

<p>@Niquii: Haha! My class just did a similar one too, and my teacher said the same thing!</p>

<p>The series question was unbelievably easy. I’ve seen some really hard series stuff on past exams; I guess the CB decided to show a little mercy.</p>

<p>Took BC calc today, I thought the MC was pretty tough, but the FRQs were more bearable. But the Taylor series and the polar question sucked. :confused:
I feel as if the exams this year are harder in general. Like I took ap chemistry on Monday and I don’t feel too great about that one either… Actually, it might just be me… Gotta study harder…:(</p>

<p>How many subquestions were there in the Taylor Series question (#6)? Was there a question (if yes, letter d ) on the back side of the page?</p>

<p>Does the bc score use both ap/bc material? If that makes sense</p>

<p>Any predictions for the curve?</p>

<p>@EternityBlazer I’m hoping for a 3 BC score or a 5 AB subscore. They both give credit for the same course at the college I’m going to this Fall.</p>

<p>Do we have consensus that the 2008 one was a bit easier than this?
If yes, I’m thinking around 65-67/108 for a 5? (60-62% vs. 64% in 2008)</p>
