The Calculus BC Thread (No AB'ers)

<p>I thought 6 wasn’t too hard either, but apparently I made the dumbest mistakes ever. HOW THE HELK DO I MISS A EULERS and HOW THE HELK DO I READ MAX Y AS MAX T!!! UGGGHGHGHGHGHGHG</p>

<p>im in calc ab but i selfstudied the bc parts…i thought this year’s frqs were the hardest in a while…</p>

<p>i’m a sophomore, so if i do badly (hopefully not), can i retake next year and cancel the 2009 score?</p>

<p>how do you guys think the curve will be?</p>

<p>how many points do you get off for forgetting dx’s :[ on integrals</p>

<p>Idk if they’ll take off a full point for that. I mean, it kinda is important because without it, you don’t have the infinitesimally small base that you’re technically adding up between the bounds but deducting 1 point out of 9 total points for the problem seems kinda harsh.</p>

<p>Would I lose one point on every single problem involving an integral cuz i think i forgot the majority of them lol</p>

<p>the ap reader that visited our school said they don’t really penalize for missing dx’s (unless you have a really stingy college professor), unless you’re doing volume/area/cross section</p>

<p>Thank god, if i was to get a stingy reader for a problem that had say an integral in every part of the problem would he take off four total points ;(</p>

<p>yeah, and frqs are read more than one reader, so most of the time you wont get points off for that she said. plus each question is read by a different person, so if you get a stingy reader for one question, you might get a really generous reader for another :]</p>

<p>thanks koreapride you helped calm my nerves lol</p>

<p>Oi, anyone want to add me to the group chat? I use Trillian (lolnerd), and I can’t find how to join AIM chats with it.

<p>also why don’t we just use an IRC chat</p>

<p>yeah deepskii it would be really rough if people lost points for missing dx’s…</p>

<p>I’ve been told by a calc teacher (who has taught forever and knows basically everything about the test) that you can use the dx or not. Another teacher told me they’re not really important in high school calc, but they are later on. I don’t think you should get any points off. I didn’t put some too.</p>

<p>i did on my finals</p>

<p>Ya i understand that they’re important but there so easy to forget hopefully they dont take anything off and we all get 5’s :)</p>

<p>=(</p>

<p>I think I barely missed a 5. Got around 60 or so. Boo.</p>

<p>what do you think the curve will be? 65? 70?</p>

<p>I’m guessing somewhere in that range.
66.</p>

<p>I don’t know, I think I missed 8-10 MCs including 2 I left blank. Think I got 30 something on FRQs. </p>

<p>Like a 72.6-69.6</p>

<p>Most likely a 5…</p>

<p>hopefully lol</p>

<p>^ i’d say thats a pretty comfortable 5.</p>

<p>I agree with power. You for sure got a 4, at the least.</p>

<p>Congrats!</p>
