<p>is it safe to discuss?
our teacher gave out almost all the year’s MC and FRQ questions.
was confident on this test!</p>
<p>but the BC Form A free response questions about the DIVER, and the TAYLOR POLYNOMIAL Questions were curveballs. That was pretty tough; I doubt even 15% of the test takers could solve for the angle the diver makes with the water- had a hard time with finding points of inflection using a taylor polynomial. How did you do this?</p>
<p>Personally, I’m in an AB class, self-studied for BC. I thought MC was easy and FR except for diver problem and #6 were also pretty easy. One thing that might kill me though was my lack of knowledge of Taylor Series.</p>
<p>I guessed on about 2 mc and skipped 6. On the free response i messed up every part on the diver problem after the maximum height–calculation error, my work was correct-- and then i bombed #6 parts b, c, and d. Though i had the right formula for part c and i messed up part b by like one stupid error, i wonder if i get pity points. Besides that i think i may have messed up one other part one of the FR questions. I’m hoping for a 3 on BC–i self studied the week before-- and a 4-5 on AB subscore.</p>
<p>What did you all get for the mc question that asked for the acceleration when the position is 50? I set up the integral of the velocity and set it equal to 48–have to subtract the initial position-- and got the time. Then i took the derivative of velocity and put whatever that time was in the equation. I got 15.7 i think, though i may have had a calculator error, because i was rushing.</p>
<p>oh and then the frq that dealt with taylor polynomials, not problem #6, i’ve forgotten what it asked.</p>
<p>For those who want to abide by the 48-hour rule, once the Free Response questions are actually posted on the College Board’s website, you’re good to go.</p>
<p>I’ve noticed that tends to happen close to when the West Coast kids have been done for 48 hours.</p>
<p>Hasn’t it been over 48 hours?
I’m waiting for a CC thread with BC Free Response Answers :3</p>

<p>So that would be in about 45 minutes?</p>
<p>The FR kind of frustrated me because every one of them except #6 seemed pretty easy, but I made stupid mistakes. Does anyone know if they give follow-through credit if you miss something in an earlier step but you use the correct method the rest of the way?</p>
<p>yes, they do give partial credit.
I hope they are generous, I did the same thing.</p>
<p>… And it makes me want to pull my hair out. I was sick so the MC may have not gone so well for me this go-around… I need the FRQs!! :)</p>
<p>hasnt it been 48 hours already? how come no one is posting about answers?</p>
<p>30 more minutes?</p>
<p>They’re up:

<p>does that mean we can talk?</p>
<p>was 5
a. -3
b. 8
c. 18</p>
<p>Someone should post a thread about their answers. :)</p>
<p>"was 5
a. -3
b. 8
c. 18 "</p>
<p>I think that’s what I got.</p>
<p>What did you guys get for the diver angle?</p>
<p>angle was like 1.58 or something really close to that?</p>
<p>^Yeah! I got like 1.57 something!</p>
<p>I hope we’re right.</p>
<p>I wish they had the solutions up.</p>
<p>When will they be up??</p>
<p>I got it wrong lol.
But our val said that thats what he got 
And he checked it with our math and physics teacher.</p>

<p>ahhhh yay =)</p>
<p>If they were talking about the angle with respect to the water level, then it would be 90 minus theta. Therefore 88.4 degrees.</p>
<p>EDIT: Sorry. You all were talking in radians. My bad!</p>
