Question ABOUT BC EXAM FOR CaLC

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hey guys – from the tests from like 1999 and before…[free response portion] it seems like you use a calculator for all of it…whereas tests from 2000 and up have 3 free response CALC OK and 3 free response NO CALCULATOR WATSOEVER…is this true?</p>

2

<p>I think it’s kind of the opposite. I think up until 1998 there was no calculator use whatsoever, but since then there are calculator and non-calculator portions, because calculator use is regarded as important in Calculus.</p>

<p>I can’t say this with absolute certainty, though…</p>

3

<p>AB has 3 calc & 3 non-calc FRQ’s…I would assume BC is the same but it might not be.</p>

<p>Sorry if that doesn’t help.</p>

4

<p>no… they used to have all calculator, then started to have noncalc portion… (true for chem too, i believe)</p>

5

<p>I’m taking the exam too. Like you said, you are allowed to use a calculator for three of the questions only. It was changed. Sucks :-&lt;/p>

6

<p>yeah, first 3 with calculator, second 3 without calculator. its not that bad.</p>

7

<p>they switched calc. policy a lot…
it was different every year many times…</p>

<p>in the aspects of:
-Graphic or Scientific
-How many calc. Sections??
-etc.</p>
