So I just failed that CollegeBoard BC Practice Test and my AP is tomorrow.

<p>Does anyone else think that collegeboard official 2008 practice AP BC Calc test was ridiculously hard? Everyone in my class was getting around 1/2 of the multiple choice right, and we are a smart class all in all. I'm kinda freaking out, our teacher has been giving us practice free responses over various sections for the past week and grading them like quizzes, and I have been doing well on those, but the MC just killed me. I've spent the last 48 hours doing MC and looking up trends that I have to get wrong answers, but... if the AP is harder than the practice test, I'm screwed. </p>

<p>Any reccomendations from people who thought they were going to fail calculus BC and then did 'x' to study, and found they did well? Right now I'm just memorizing different types of recurring problems that I tend to miss and memorizing the process for getting the right answer. </p>

<p>I know it's late, but... this practice AP came as a slap to the face, especially because for other APs I've gotten by quite well with minimal amounts of studying.</p>

<p>Well... what to say...if I were you, I would make a list of things for which I lost points in the practice exam, and go over those.
If you look at your practice test a perfect opportunity for checking the problems you have, you would be much happier. This is just a so much better situation than doing great on the practice exam but not figuring out what you haven't mastered yet.
Change what you can change.</p>
