Well, I'm sure it is easy compared to the college math classes a lot of you are taking, but screw it. This class started easy as balls, but now that we're doing binominal and geometric distributions, I'm lost. Jeez, I have a test tomorrow, and I can't figure out when to use bio and when to use geo, and don't even get me started with probability rules 🙁.

Easy stuff for most of you, but not so much for me 🙁. Better get back to studying.
 
try not to stress out about it too much. just do a lot of problems and you will get the hang of it. math is easy if you dont tell yourself it is hard.

edit: also, getting a book full of problems with full solutions is the best way to learn how to do the problems. once you figure it out, you start to see patterns in the way problems are written and you will know exactly how to solve it. i did 250-300 calculus problems before my calc 3 final and i aced it. practice!

What the? You're taking away our ability to flame you for being a high school "n00bxor" by making that statement. I ju... But you...

This thread is dead to me.

I failed it and bombed out on the exam because senior year was really the peak of my partying days. I had a killer SAT score and was already accepted to college so I slept through most of the classes I didn't skip and possibly opened the text book once.
I didn't really care about the college credit, it's just at my school the best teachers were the ones who taught AP classes(not to mention the student selection of AP classes) and when I wasn't asleep I wanted to have a good teacher.
 
AP Stats was easy and my professor was dumb. He taught us "chai" squared the day of the AP test. The work out problem that was worth the most just happened to be on "chai" square and I'm sure most of the students in my class got it wrong. His later class period was never even taught it, lol.

I ended up getting a 4..but it isn't needed for my major. Waste of a class!

Easy stuff. I took it in a JC when I was a junior in HS and I never really listened in class. I hauled @$$ for the final to get an A, but it was like learning everything the night before. Our professor was an AP Stats coordinator (since he always wore this AP Stats polo), and so I whipped out an old AP Stats exam to compare it to our class, and I found the test doable.

Too bad that didn't work so well for my engineering math final today. Cramming laplace transforms, fourier transforms, fourier integrals, bessel equations, sturm liouville problems in 3 nights does NOT work.

Just chug coffee. That works for me. I respond to 1 coffee easily and I get jittery and excited about things once I have that 1 coffee. I chugged 3 since last night, and that's how It ook my final today living off 3 hrs of sleep. Yay. Time to sleep for realz now.
 
I did jack squat in AP Stats during my junior year of high school. 105% in the class (the teacher curved grades immensely) and 5 on the AP. Easiest class ever.

I think it's because my teacher taught it well. Just had to listen to his lectures.

EDIT:

OP - get some practice AP tests off the College Board website. those should help a little, at least once you're studying for the AP.
 
I'm taking it this year and I have a very low B but somehow managed an 86 on the midterm exam, lucked out b/c when I was studying nothing was sticking in my mind.

I blew it today on my Physics exam though, teacher sucks and review didn't match ANYTHING on the exam, pisses me off
