Well.. I'm indian.. the whole asian-math thing might be it. But, I don't know, I just knew how to do all of it (; and the curve is decent so either way I'm prettttty sure i got a 5. Shocked if it's a 4, but probably won't be anyway.

I didnt have any problems with the MC at all... I had to leave section 1 d) of the free-response blank, however... I had no idea what to do.
The rest went fine, hoping for a 5

Also taking lit, bio, and economics

The MC was totally fine but the free response was awful I think...I'm hoping to do alot better in APUSH and English Language but I'll be happy if I scrape a 4 on this...stupid collegeboard rules about not discussing problems

1st section was tough for me, 2nd was relatively easy, free response was pretty difficult

The multiple choice was a breeze, and yeah, the FR were challenging, although I thought 2007's were harder. I'm so frustrated on #1 part-d, I figured it out with my left over time during the no-calculator section of the FR, but I couldn't plug it in to my calculator! Hopefully I get partial credit.

I dominated it. 5 for sure.

One or 2 free responses I had minor trouble on (meaning that I'm not 100% sure on the answer, but it still has a good chance of being right). And 1 multiple choice I got wrong for sure, and I'm sure I got a few more wrong that I'm not sure of. But I'll be shocked if I got worse than a 5.

I thought the MC was okay (although I'm a bit concerned about the calculator part; I got some strange patterns of letters). I skipped one question.

FRQ were hard. I have a feeling I made a lot of mistakes. I ran out of time for the calculator part (because I didn't read one question carefully and had to do it all over again), so I had to rush through the non-calculator part in order to finish. Not to mention I lost my eraser and took time looking for it. I didn't realize how to do some of the easy parts until after the test. Dang it!

I'll be happy with a 3. If I fail, my calculus teacher will probably never speak to me again (she had so much faith in me).

I got raped on the free response but did pretty well on the multiple choice. Hope all of you did terribly so the curve is low for me

And you CAN discuss the free response questions 48 hours after the test. You just can't discuss the MC.

pond problem was common on both AB and BC
with that said, just remember that V = integral of A(x)
you should remember the limits of integration
then Area = bh
you were provided with h
you knew the base (radius)
so you just plugged and chugged....

sorry for being vague; i don't want to get in trouble for discussing

Did anyone notice how on the MC calc section there was a ton of the same letter until the very end?

Totally nailed a 5 but the FRQs took some work to do.

Since it's now been 48 hours we can talk.

1 d) was a volume of known cross-sections problem, similar to 1 c). In 1 c) we were told that R was the side of a square, so you simply integrated side squared from 0 to 2. For 1 d, the base of R was the "length" of a rectangle, and the depth was (3-x), so you integrated side times the base, from 0 to 2.

I actually completely blanked on 3b and c, but nailed every other part of free response--there were maybe 5 mc questions i had issues with.
