For 6c, Shouldn’t the answer be: x-1/2x^2-3/2x^3?

Does anyone know if the make up exam is actually harder? I’m super nervous!

@mwm247 Generally, they’re harder as obviously you have more time to prepare. Study polar graphs, they weren’t on this exam, so they’ll probably be on the make up one.

@rdeng2614 does that mean it’s harder to get a 5? Or do they readjust the scale for the make up?

I think the curve should be about the same. The test is probably just harder.
Not exactly sure.

@mwm247 hi! i took the makeup comp sci test last year (i was also afraid the makeup would be harder), and I think the makeup was actually easier than the original. Apparently, the original had a killer multiple choice section while mine was pretty easy; don’t stress too much! As for the curve, I wasn’t super confident after taking the test, but I still got a 5, so I really don’t think that there’s much disparity between the two versions

How long will my score be delayed? I’ll be taking the test on the 21st, around two weeks after the normal date, so will I get my score in the middle of July or August or what?

Wait how come I don’t see any of the questions I got in the ap Calc BC free response answers? I think I had form G

Only Form O is posted.

Ohh ok. I got scared, these questions were way harder than the ones I got

For the first FRQ on part D where it asked for the expression of the water flowing into the pipe until it hits 50 or whatever, I accidentally, made the function, D(t), L(t). Does anybody think they will mark me down for this?

Any advice for someone taking this next year (asking early while the class is fresh in your minds), having already taken AP Calc AB and getting As?

any advice for just taking the class in general?prep books/general tips, anything

I took the late test on Thursday, but neither me nor my proctor knew where I was supposed to get a label from, so I just wrote my AP number on the FRQ packet… Will that be a problem? What if I wrote the number wrong? I’m kind of worried. I just discovered that I was supposed to get one from that little booklet lol

@adolescentnerd College Board is very good at figuring out these sorts of things.

What do you guys think the curve will be? Lenient? The test was probably just a littler harder than previous years. So the curve should be more lenient. But probably not since there are less fives this year than usual. 44 % this year compared to the usual 47 - 50 %.

Got a 5! Super excited! :slight_smile:

Got a 5 yay now I can be on the 5 Wall in my school

Ayy lmao, got a 5 BC 5 AB sub. I wish I had that luck with the other APs.
