Who here took the AP Calculus AB test?

<p>What do you need to get a 3? Well about. heh</p>

<p>its something like 35 points out of 108, so what like a 30-40%?</p>

<p>How about a 5?</p>

<p>75 i believe?</p>

<p>It's useless trying to predict; it has ranged from 75-66 in the past.</p>

<p>also, i felt my class covered a lot of stuff that wasn't on there at all</p>

<p>MC Non-Calc: not bad but harder than expected
MC Calc: much easier than expected</p>

<p>1st Calc FRQ: great
The rest: got partials for all...depending how much partial will determine my grade. =/</p>

<p>Well, I really should have taken the BC exam. Wasted $80 on the AB...I'm still mad at myself haha.</p>

<p>AB MC Sec 1 - Harder than I anticipated. Even though my level was more around BC, there were actually 2 questions that I had to guess. Usually I never guess on AB MC's.</p>

<p>AB MC Sec 2 - Really, really easy. I finished nearly 30 min before time was called. That gave me plenty of time to check over my work and make sure the answers are gridded in the right circles (a testing paranoia I have :P)</p>

<p>AB FRQ Sec 1 - It was okay, except one question where I probably got partial for half of it....I didn't really understand what it was asking.</p>

<p>AB FRQ Sec 2 - Moderately easy, probably got full credit except that I caught one careless mistake 2 min before time was called, so I might had made more. </p>

<p>Overall, I'm pretty sure I did okay.</p>

<p>i felt the first section was ridiculously hard in which i knew about half, but the last 3 sections were refreshingly easy and i think i got 90% of it right. I had a little trouble with the 3rd question on part b, but that was about it. </p>

<p>Part 1a was definately crazy tho, i never even saw a third of the questions before. I stayed out late the nite before and had like 4-5 hours of sleep so maybe i was still half sleeping though. I expect a solid 4.</p>

<p>It was pretty straight forward I thought. I knew how to do all of the FR, just that I made a mistake in forming the equation on FR AB2... erg... I'm sure I got full 9/9 on AB1 and AB5, 7/9 on AB6, 6-7/9 on AB3, 4-5/9 on AB4, and maybe 2-3/9 on AB2. Overall that would be a pretty good FR total; a range of 37-40 - so that's on my way to a 4, perhaps a 5.</p>

<p>Yeah I finished Part II of the multiple choice with about 20 minutes left. I thought i'd missed a page or collegeboard left one out of my booklet haha. quite fun. Part I was aright. The free response however, I found to be way tougher than the AP exams of other years. I didn't even get to finish one of the letters.</p>

<p>Well, unlike the rest of you it seems, I found it really really hard. My teacher is good, but he doesn't teach to the test. Every problem on the test was a lot harder than anything I'd ever done. I have a 99 in the class, but I would be satisfied if I got a 3. I doubt I'll get a 4, just left too much of the free response blank. I wouldn't be surprised if I got a 2 either. Oh well, at least I'll be ready for the BC next year.</p>

<p>I thought the multiple choice was easy, but I was only able to complete about 2/3 of the FRQs. I'm expecting a 3, but wouldn't be surprised by a 2 or 4.</p>

<p>Smandel- Yeah I finished the multiple choice with plenty of time, and I also thought I'd skipped a page after finishing part 2, but some parts of the free response were pretty hard and I didn't have time to really go through them thoroughly.</p>

<p>I thought the exam was pretty easy. I literally went back and checked the some of my questions 5 times during the MC sections. I just finished really quickly. I ended up leaving 4 blank on section 1 and 2 on section 2 of the MC. I thought the clac part was harder though but that has been true for all the exams I've taken which has been a range from '85 to '02. The free response was okay. I'm positive i got 9/9 for 1 and 6. And I'm pretty sure I got more than half the points on each one after that. Hopefully I got enough to be safely in the 5 zone. I didn't really like 3 on the FRQs, I had an answer down but ended up changing it becuase I thought it was wrong but I wasn't sure. I don't think I got it right though but that was only one part of it fortunately. I hope everyone did well. Now we just have to wait for mid July to come. I wish I lived in Cali.</p>

<p>honestly, i didn't think it was that bad....our teacher has been giving us quiz-a-day's (QAD's) just about every day for the last three weeks. basically, he'd give us an old free-response question and then grade it according to how it was scored that year so i guess i was probably more prepared for that section than most people.</p>

<p>Everyone's said it was easy. That tells me we probably all got screwed, haha.</p>

<p>Actually, I believe the scores on the Calc AB exam are generally higher than most other subjects. This is due to the fact that Calc AB is one semester of college Calculus taught over the course of an entire year whereas many subjects are trying to teach two semesters of college material over the course of a year.</p>

<p>If I am not mistaken, isn't Calc AB only the first quarter of college-level calculus?</p>
