<p>Right, I believe you just find delta y over delta x and say that that is approximately equal to dy/dx.</p>
<p>I agree ^^^^^^</p>
<p>Why is the score multiplied by 1.2...I thought it said the MC was 50% and FR was 50% of our total grade...</p>
<p>I thought the test was really easy. I whizzed through the multiple choice and the polar free response was hard but I managed to make up some stuff.</p>
<p>FAKEOUT</p>
<p>question... for the taylor one, when they ask for the sixth degree taylor polynomial, can we just leave it in the form they give it to us in? like can we leave the '!'s, or do we actually have to solve it out?</p>
<p>two words...PARTIAL CREDIT :)</p>
<p>u had to multiply by 1.2 so that xchoice would be worth 50%. xchoice only had 45 questions which is worth a total of 45 points while FR is 54 points. so if u multiply 1.2 by 45, it's 54</p>
<p>really? i thought we were allowed to leave it like that... look at the grading rubric for the 2004 exam</p>
<p>Does anyone know how many you need to get right to get the minimum 5? Isn't it usually like 50% correct out of both the MC and the FRQs? When do we find out what the curve is?</p>
<p>its about 60% i think. im not sure if u find out the curve...</p>
<p>what a retarded test...especially the calc mc...didn't really test any ability to problem solve.</p>
<p>Anyone else have a teacher that didn't cover all the topics on the exam? I mean, no offense to my teacher, whatever we learned we learned really well. But she wasn't very comfortable with some of the BC stuff and we didn't learn a lot about series, parametric, polar, or Euler's method. I had to self study a lot.</p>
<p>FAKEOUT</p>
<p>That signature makes me think...everytime. But yes, the exam was a killer.</p>
<p>at least the majority of the ppl on this board feel that the test was hard. i guess that means the curve is gonna be good</p>
<p>I totally agree Sx91...that exam was a truly a killer. The multiple choice was pretty easy, but when I got to Part A, of the free-response I practically freaked. Some of my friends told me that last year's exam was harder than this year, and while I took the 2004 exam for practice , I completely disagree. Am I the only one who thinks this??! Is anyone else taking the AP Euro on Friday?</p>
<p>Yes we practiced the 2004, and it was easy. I am taking Euro on friday ;)</p>
<p>That was so easy! </p>
<p>I was kind of expecting polar and taylor, both of which were very easy if you knew what you were doing. </p>
<p>Someone on these forums said that it would show up, because it hadn't for a past number of years.</p>
<p>PS: don't blame self-studying. I self studied the whole thing in 3 months. Where there is a will, there is a way. (actually, the moral is that procrastinators rulez!!!!!!11111111)</p>
<p>Yeah, the 6 brave souls who took BC at my school all self-studied, including me. I felt Dazed and Confused (isn't that the name of some song) when I got to the last free response...I hate AP-Wordiness...</p>
<p>to collegefreak, everything you said in your first post was the same for me, so don't feel worried; think about it this way, we are being men for others in the fact we are helping BC test takers in their curve.
The second I got to the third page, I said to hell with BC, I'm doing my AB questions first ;) at least I get the one for my name on the test</p>
<p>Hey. The curve has already been set by the chief reader. I realized the Released exams are good nighttime reading, especially the analysis for teachers, where they teach teachers how to attack and elegantly solve problems.</p>
<p>My rule was no more than 2 calculators usages per part per question, and only 3 graphs.</p>
<p>Oh, and to all those kiddies out there, you don't need a Ti 89. All the questions are designed so that any thing you try to derive screws around, and the calculator can't integrate some stuff. Just use a Ti83</p>
