<p>What are some good programs/notes to put on your graphing calculator before taking those APs?</p>
<p>I’m in chem right now and currently preparing for the test. I have a lot of programs and information in my calculator, but I’ve found that they’ve been pretty useless. The only section you can use your calculator on Part A of the free response. And those problems (equilibrium, kinetics, etc.) require information that you really can’t store into your calculator. So really, your best bet is to memorize everything you’ve put into your calculator, because you’ll need it for the rest of the free response and the multiple choice!</p>
<p>Just put on the quadratic formula for chem, you may need it for acid base titration on open ended. As for calc you should just put on some of the formulas like average value, shell method, disk method, etc. And for physics I’m not sure if you get to use a calculator on the multiple choice… but I hear you don’t get a formula sheet for it so if you do get a calculator you may need to put in alot of formulas.</p>
<p>^ You don’t really need the quadratic formula for titrations because you can assume the original concentration of a weak acid/base doesn’t really change in the reaction.</p>
<p>Physics MC: no calc, no formula sheet (just basic info, like cos30, sin30 values, etc) FRQ: calc allowed, formula sheet provided</p>
<p>my teacher said only if ka or kb is <<10^-5, then you can ignore x. But if it is 10^-4 then the change is to large to ignore.</p>
<p>What should I add for BC Calc?</p>

<p>they rarely, if ever, have it where it is significant though</p>
