I had AB today. It was rough. I think I did pretty bad on the multiple choice, and the free response was just insane. I wrote whatever came to mind although I'm pretty sure none of it was right. So basically I took ap calc for one whole year and just have to take it again in college next year. But I took the Statistics a day before and I'm pretty sure I will pass that.

I took AP calc in highschool, actually took 3 AP classes, but instead of opting out and just getting credits for the classes, I took them in college, and got easy As. They even used the same calc book for calc I and II in college as my highschool. So instead of just haveing 3 credits, I had 3 credits of a 4.0!

I got a 5 on the BC last year. It was well worth it, considering after I finish linear algebra this fall I will be done with math forever. :)

I didn't think it was too bad. For some reason I couldn't get two problems in the multiple choice w/ Calculator section, but besides that, I think I got almost all of the rest right.

The multiple was too easy.... way too easy I thought there's some really good tricks in the problems..

the free response was harder, especially part B. All i can say is that inifnite series owned me :Q

Dual 4's on BC + AB subscore.

My calc teacher last year wasn't as good as this year. I didn't understand much. Our book was out of order too (it jumped around a lot). This year, I actually understood multivariable Calc 3/D, and I did well in the class :)

I got a 3 and didn't study. It's really hard though so good luck.

I wonder how you did on the AP English test.

Didn't take the AP test. Partly because I didn't take AP Calc. I know a girl who took the AP test and got credit for it, but took the math placement test at our college and placed into Calc 0 which is precalc. I thought that was kinda ironic.

That was me last year. Now after 2 semesters of college calc, I wish I could take it again just to kick it's a**. I got a 2 on the AB btw.

I thought the AB was pretty dismal this year. I'm pretty sure I could pass off with a 4, but only because of the multiple choice section. I didn't really enjoy the free responses, had a few problems that I didn't quite get around to answering.
