<p>Holy crap - as for that polar question I think I forgot to put in pi/3 so I put in the decimal equivalent. crap...</p>

<p>Yeah FRQs pwned me too. But nonetheless AP credit is useless for me now (Honors at my university doesn't accept AP credit). So I couldn't muster the motivation to study past FRQs for the days before the exam and instead played computer games.</p>

<p>Self-Study can give someone a HUGE advantage in many cases. If you're taking an AP Calc class you often get complacent and think the class will do everything for you. And it's also harder to muster motivation when you have the class. Even with my Calc AB class, I did fall complacent during the past few days because BC is AB + a few topics.</p>

<p>You do post an excellent point there Alex. Still, I think 65% is such a low standard.</p>

<p>Nevertheless, the top 1/5 quartile gets fives. If the rest of the nation's BC test takers can't get that 65%, CB has no choice but to make that the cutoff. Besides, that 65% is not a guarantee, and I do agree with jthecanadianrevived that it is a low standard, especially since it's supposed to allow us to credit out of college calculus courses.</p>
