***Official AP Calculus BC Thread 2014-2015***

how did you guys all get form O and G?? mine said form I… LOL probably because i live in china and i took it 12 hours before you guys. do you think we still got similar problems tho??

I got too careless on question 6. All the other problems were fine, but this one, I wasn’t careful enough…

Wow lol, didn’t even realize, the kind of pun…

@JuicyMango Multivariable most likely for junior. For senior, either linear algebra or some “calculus based statistics”.

What pun?

@JuicyMango The 1/3 thing. And I think I got 7000 something.

@JuicyMango Did you have form O or G?

Because I remember an answer that was more than 3x than that…

How many terms were in the answer to the last question?

I had form O. Honestly, I feel like I studied the complete wrong concepts for the test. There was no volume, difficult polar area, etc. but there were excessive tests of convergence and strange concepts that didn’t coincide with any formulas, particularly on the non-calculator MC. Yikes.

Free response was easy; that being said, I still wasn’t able to answer three parts. I came out expecting I got a five, but judging by the amount of you crazy people on this site who claim that the test was excruciatingly easy, I now fear a harsh curve.

@Dorfdude8 3 terms. Just had to FOIL.

Is it okay to leave an answer as the product of a bunch of numbers? I remember they said you didn’t have to simplify anything including both expressions and numbers so I didn’t bother to find the numerical answer for some of them.

@BrownieRalph Maybe I messed up, but I don’t think it was necessary to integrate that one.

@Frigidcold: Are you going to take it at a community college? I was planning on taking AP Statistics junior year and then Linear Algebra at a community college senior year. Do a lot of sophomores at your school take calc bc? I hope I can get a 5 so I can be part of the less than 1000 sophomores who do :). Then I can actually feel like I’ve accomplished something.

I tried to derive a constant, I got nothing :frowning:

Bad jokes lol

Yeah, I ended up not doing number 3 on the FRQs because I didn’t notice that the page it was on was stuck to the page with the security label. So I didn’t know that it was there, and ended up wasting like 15 minutes double checking instead of doing the question I missed

differentiate*

finding the k value question was so hard because it was difficult to find the second derivative…

When it said f(x)e^x, you just multiplied the terms for e^x and f(x) together or did I miss something?

I got -5 but im pretty sure thats wrong

@JuicyMango Lol, taking Calc BC is accomplishment for a sophomore. At our school, there are usually 2-3 who do end up taking it every year. I go to a pretty competitive school with a application process, so that might explain it. Multivariable is a self-study course usually, but because a lot of people may take it next year, that may be an actual course offering. If I were to take linear algebra, I’d most likely take at a community college as well, where as “calculus based statistics” would be a self study course.

You guys are referring to Form O, right?
