Calculus BC Self Study

<p>I’m a rising sophomore too, Rohitht!! Are you Indian?</p>

<p>No, there aren’t any derivatives of hyperbolic functions on the test. It changes from year to year though; you should check out the ~20 page course description on Calc BC. Because like in 1997 they had Hooke’s Law and a lot more physics than it does in the present…</p>

<p>There’s a lot more conceptual questions on the MC than one would think on the BC exam. Watch out for those by doing past MCs. Online they have the MCs from 1969-2003? and I did most of them the weekend before the test. I doubt it’s legal though. :P</p>

<p>Try not to take the late test. I heard it’s harder than the normal one.
I knew nothing about polar when I took the exam last year as a freshman (even though I took the class; my teacher didn’t cover as much as he should’ve), and I still 5’d it. I guess it was because there was no polar that year…</p>

<p>Know that the exam is fairly straight-forward and that even if you mess up on two-thirds of the free response but ace the multiple choice you may still get a 5. If you didn’t know what Taylor polynomials or polar was LAST YEAR, you would’ve gotten a 5. Also know that you need to get ~60% of the test right to get a 5 and that 43% of seniors get 5s on this test every year.</p>

<p>And yes, integration is stressed out a lot more than differentiation. Especially when you get to infinite series; a lot of integration takes place there.</p>
