<p>I'm in an AB, but I am thinking about takin BC, nevertheless what average are you guys pulling?
Because, I'm actually doing pretty well in Calc, we are doing apps of the derivative, and right now, absolute maxima and minima.</p>

<p>AB is half the speed of BC. How are you going to switch in the middle of the year?</p>

<p>"what average are you guys pulling?"
I had a high A through AB, mid to high A in BC until now. I'm not sure what it is now...</p>

<p>so mach, where in calc are you at now, there is no BC class in my school, I'm thinking about taking the BC exam, last year I took the AP Chem exam, after taking an "AP level" class which trust me did not
even cover half of the topics. I studied for the exam independently, with a review book, against teacher/counselor recommendations, i was the first person to take the exam in 3 years and I got a 3, I felt confident enough to get a 4 but, a 3 is the highest AP chem score at my school for 10 years. The class literally teaches you half of the AP syllabus and does not teach to the exam. Such topics not learned: Organic Chem, Nuclear Chem, Electrochem/galvinic cells, lab, acids/bases are introduced in definition only. So I covered that on my own, not easy. So the BC exam contains what? Sequences,Series, L'Hopsital's rule, inverse trig identities (already covered) So I think I can independently study...get a 4 BC and 5 AB subscore. I also have a much better handle on calc than chem.</p>

<p>GrkPrincetonian, here's a few more stuff you have to know, integration over an area to find the volume of an object, basic definition of derivatives, Tyler's series (and its sub series), and all that stufff :)</p>

<p><== got a 5 on BC test last year</p>

<p>Multivariable calc = le suck Wish I have Conway rather than the teacher I have right now haha</p>

<p>Hm, where am I in calc...
This semester is ending, so I'm probably where AB would be at the end of the year... volumes of revolution and cross sections and such.
I did fine on that section last year, but my teacher this year has odd conceptual essay questions on his tests... Yes, quite odd for a math class, or at least to me.</p>

<p>reviving the lounge thread!! BUMP!</p>

<p>what time is it in NZ?</p>

<p>now? its 6.10pm wednesday 7th</p>

<p>woah! i'm only 10 minutes into wednesday...</p>

<p>Don't you just luv summer!!!!</p>

<p>that's so bizarre...it's past midnight and snowy here...weird Antipodeans...</p>

<p>haha i dont like summer to be honest! (funnily enough, my gf's name is PRONOUNCED 'summer' lol) the suns getting too strong...i get dizzy from walking home from school. and think abt all the UV im getting too with that big hole above us!</p>

<p>So her name isn't spelled S-U-M-M-E-R? How else could you spell it?</p>

<p>yes its bizarre, we are only like a few hours of plane away but we live in a completely diff world! and we (me and kjoodles) live in the future! muhahaha lol</p>

<p>still 11:18 here. not burning that midnight oil yet.
by the time i finish though...</p>

<p>lol it's sOmmer.</p>

<p>..........60 sec.......</p>

<p>by the time you finish what mach? i have physics scholarship exam tomrw but just can't be bothered doing anything...o wel...it doesnt count for anything anyway...it jst means i will get money if i pass.</p>

<p>by the time i finish the unit review for chapters 50-55 in biology
by the time i finish my homework on arc length and review for calc
by the time i finish reading up on the french revolution</p>

<p>ok i might save the reading for tomorrow between classes...</p>

<p>You should do the physics thing! money money money! how long will it take? just think of it as (if the scholarship is $1000 and you spend 2 hours), a $500/hr job.</p>

<p>haha of course i will do it! in fact it's 500 for each pass. i have four exams in total. done 2 and 2 more to go (phy tomrw and calc on sat..). but if i pass four, they only count 3 and if i pass three there's this special thing where they give you more haha yes it's very complicated...</p>

<p>all im worried about now is pton though!! it can't be that hard to pass anyways hehe (will be quite funny if i failed all four..)</p>

<p>o forgot, good luck with all that work mach....i feel bad just lingering around on CC with school already finished...<em>angelic</em></p>
