Some recent examples of integrals as accumulation over time are 2007 AB2, 2006 AB2, 2005 AB2, and 2004 AB1. They tend to be a bit more complicated than simply position-velocity pieces, although those tend to appear also.
In addition, if you're still struggling with Fundamental Theorem of Calculus questions, those are worth studying, in particular the case where they give you a graph of f, and they define g as the integral from some number to x of f.
were there one of those problems on the practice exam? i think i saw one on my final... now it makes sense but when i took it i didn't get what they were talking about and all of the questions after the first depended on that so i got a 3/9. but on the sewage problem i got a 9.
Also, one of the no calculator problems (#5 i think) had a g' component and i really did bad on it (1).
if i had a study book what would i call that to look it up?
I haven't looked that closely at the Audit exam, but now that I glance at it, question 1 (the sewage question) is the accumulation question, and question 4 was the Fundamental Theorem of Calc question.

As far as calculator programs, you have to show your work on the AP exam for all items that aren't calculator functions anyway, so programs are of limited to no help.
The audits aren't supposed to leave the classroom.
That's not to say that some teachers haven't let it happen, but I'm certainly not going to be sending a copy.
Also, the general note at the top of the discussion forum about sending copies of the audit being a violation of copyright laws applies to the audits as well.
