to anyone who's taken ab calc already

<p>the latest exam i have is 2003, then i have 1993 (i think).</p>

<p>if any of you have taken those exams, did the difficulty level change when you took your exam.</p>

<p>i've done pretty good on both but i'm just a little nervous about the exam tomorrow.</p>

<p>also i’ve seen stuff on this forum about an audit exam?
what is that and is it available online??</p>

<p>ab audit exam:
<a href=“http://ww2.wyomingcityschools.org/~harmsm/ap%20central%20practice%20exam%20ab/college%20board%20ab%20practice%20exam.pdf[/url]”>http://ww2.wyomingcityschools.org/~harmsm/ap%20central%20practice%20exam%20ab/college%20board%20ab%20practice%20exam.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>i took ab last year and i found the released exams to be very similar to the difficulty of the actual test. if you do well on them, expect to do well on the exam. i got a 5 and i knew when i was taking it that i would… kids, if you’ve done the work this year then it’ll be a pretty easy test. seriously. no worries</p>

<p>Our class took this identical exam. This was our second time taking it.(Both are from collegeboard). It was a little challenging than the first we took. Our teacher told us this was a released practice exam collegeboard sends every 5 years and that collgebaurd tries to squeeze all the AB calculus fundamentals in the exam. Such a question about solving the 2nd fundamental theorem of calculus also asked for chain-rule of it. Dont stress it you didnt do well on the audit exam</p>

<p>We took this exam too! So is this easier/harder than the actual test?
rftennis, did you think this particular test was similar to the actual one, or other released ones? Thanks</p>

<p>this years exam is wayy harder than the 2003 one imo…</p>

<p>does anyone have a clue what composite scores can scrape a 5 for AB?</p>

<p>I took the exam last year and if I remember correctly the MC was easy, but the FRQs were a bit harder than the one’s on the previous years that I took. I think I only fully answered 4 or 5 of the FRQs and did only parts of the others, but still pulled off a 5.</p>

<p>huh? 4 of 5? but there are 6 FRQ’s!
I only completed 3 and did bits here and there of the other 3.
I let my nerves get to me. I left like 9 MCQs blank… I get really agitated when I think of it now…</p>

<p>Think I might still pull off a 5?</p>

<p>@ oeij: Let’s assume that you answered ~90% of the multiple choice questions correctly that you answered, so 33 right, 3 wrong, 9 omitted. This would give you a score of 32.25 after deductions, multiplied by 1.2, which would round up to 39 points.</p>

<p>If you completed 3 of the FRQ’s, and let’s say you averaged a 6/9 on them. You’ve got 18 points. Let’s say you picked up 3 points each on the other three questions. That’s a total of 9 points. So 27 points total for the FRQ’s.</p>

<p>Giving you a grand total of 66 points, which is probably on the borderline many years.</p>

<p>That’s making a lot of assumptions about how you earned points. You might be confident in a 9 on some of the questions you completed, and not at all confident about earning even 3 points on the ones you did bits and pieces of. And as far as the MC goes, a 90% correct rate might be high (most of my students who I think will earn 5’s are closer to 80% correct of the questions they answer).</p>

<p>But it seems possible.</p>

<p>hahaha thanks! that was really helpful. well 4 more AP’s to go for me…</p>

<p>well its about another 2 hours till all the rest of the May 2009 AB students finish their exams… hope you guys managed to do well!</p>
