The Calculus BC Thread (No AB'ers)

<p>the test was fun today =)</p>

<p>Multiple choice wasn't that bad. Polar was hard for me because I didn't remember any from last year! My teacher told us to look over polar, but I didn't (I got a good rest instead :) ). But I'm glad though ... A good night of sleep is always good for math, since you can't cram (found yourself too tired next morning although you know everything). But I'll be cramming for history Thursday night and I'll be dead by Friday afternoon, I'm sure ...</p>

<p>i'm just hoping i got at least 60 to 65% of all i put down right...that'll get me a 5...and even if i answered 55 to 60% right, i could probably pull off a 4 which will give me credit anyway so i'm sort of confident cuz i knew how to start/do all the free responses, but i doubt that all i did was right.
are they usually generous with partial credit or not at all?
gotta wait till july now.</p>

<p>wow, are you guys stupid? I'm pretty sure the instructions said not to discuss FPQ until 48 hours after the test is administered. it's at most been 24 hours based on any timezone! and it said to never discuss the MC and someone already did. haha if i were you i would try to delete your post or hide your personal info b/c they'll track you down and cancel your score. it happened last year to a few ppl on CC. sooo, just a word of advice.</p>

<p>the test wasn't toooo bad. I had a hard time finishing Section I of the MC b/c I got stuck on one problem and refused to move on. ehhh, I thought Section II with the calculator was reallllly easy, though. I dunno ,anyone agree?</p>

<p>the FPQ was ehhhhhh compared to the MC. I knew the general concept to solve every question but there were a few iffy things here and there. I'm hoping for some credit in random places! haha because i know I was on the right track on everything I did but failed to get the right answer, woops. </p>

<p>Taylor series/polynomial and polar parts...come on! isn't that obviously on the test? I dunno, I had to take the IB HL Math Methods (w/ calc option after) and that fried my brain. 4 straight hours of the AP test followed by 2 more hours for IB HL starting just 30 min after the AP one finished. <em>siighh</em></p>

<p>tomorrow is Paper 2 of the IBHL test. 3 more hours -_-...Paper 1 was supposed to be easy. the ones we did in class were always easy. haha this one was much harder than we all expected! annnnd the sad thing is Paper 2 is always much harder. haha a 4 on the AP and a 5-6 on the IBHL will make me content. my teacher covered all the material on both the AP and IBHL this year but she had no time left to actually take practice exams for either one. last year I took the CalcAB AP test and we had 3 months to take practice exams, so the test in May was easy. anyways, my scores for today and tomorrow don't affect me other than for my IB diploma because my college gives equal credit for AP Calc AB, AP Calc BC, and IBHL Math Methods. hehe so I already have all the credit possible for math from last year. i'm all set :-P</p>

<p>btw I reviewed everything from the entire year all yesterday. started 8:00 AM and finished about 10:30 pm. :-D maybe 2 hours spent doing other things, haha...too much math -_-</p>

<p>I'm reporting you.</p>

<p>i didn't talk about anything! bwahaha</p>

<p>Doesn't matter. You read the thread and relayed information to those in Taiwan. Good luck in la carcel!</p>

<p>yeah bfjava youre going to the pen</p>

<p>Damn....glad to hear i wasn't the only one struggling with the polar crap... </p>

<p>now im gunna fail the stats ap tmr....nooooooo</p>

<p>imiracle911, I think you might have kissed your exam score away :-(</p>

<p>are you serious?</p>

<p>I think you're required to do that sometimes, especially when you're given a piecewise function or something.</p>

<p>Obviously that wouldn't really work out too well if you had some kind of curve, unless you're just estimating to find the nearest multiple choice answer.</p>

<p>That's retarted. Who would spend the time doing that when it takes 30 seconds to do it algebraically?</p>

<p>the fact you're admitting it on a RECORDED forum makes it possible that ETS will find you and CANCEL your score. just a thought. it happened last year on this website. i'm just saying....</p>

<p>Yep. ¡Buena suerte en la carcel!</p>

<p>Lol, Sx91, good luck to you on the spanish test tomorrow.</p>

<p>I don't know if 10 seconds to prep is enough for 20 seconds of talking :(</p>

<p>And the listening will be tough.</p>

<p>CB: Look @ the date May 3rd not 4th. The day before. Please don't smite me.</p>

<p>in my school we have like, 50 people taking bc calc (thats not an exageration) and most of us thought that the free response was soo hard and unexpected...the same happened last year though...the multiple choice is super easy and free response is super hard. as a result of that, in order to get a five, all you needed was like, a 54. which means that if you get a perfect multiple choice or perfect free response, youve got your five. so like, a 30 probably gave you a 3...</p>

<p>but yeah... we were all raped and anxiously await our scores...for 2 months...</p>

<p>well, i think i did OK, at first i thought i had done really bad, but now, I think I did ok. I missed 5 MC overall, 4 No calc. and 1 calc <em>stupid light pole</em>. For the Free Response, I am pretty sure about the all of the AB crap, only polar, I think I can miss a couple (because of my stupidity) and taylor, i couldnt do the last one <em>interval</em> but everything else, I am pretty solid about it, I think a 4 will come......hopefully and if I am lucky, a 5.</p>

<p>how do u know what u got wrong already? did u memorize all the questions/answers?</p>

<p>btw, after the 48 hours are done, are we gonna compile all the answers like we do on the SATs?</p>

<p>or we could wait for our scores like all other normal people :O</p>
