Did anybody else take this piece of crap this year?
Why, oh why, oh why oh why oh why, were the two SLOPEFIELD problems on the non-calculator sections of the test? I don’t understand it (that is to say, I don’t understand why the problems were on the non-calculator sections). And on the free-response one, how on earth were we supposed to integrate that beast?
And how the FUCK do you use Euler’s method when you are just given points instead of an equation? I tried to get around it by putting them into my stat plot and doing a linear regression, and using Euler on that, but it didn’t work.
And why were the AB free-response questions so damned easy!! Parts of them were Algebra I! The first two calculator free-responses were AB. It seemed to me like the calculator questions were harder than the non-calculator questions.
What makes me even madder is the shit that wasn’t on the test. It seemed like the exam only covered a couple of chapters. There were no conics, no related rates, only one or two implicit differentiation questions, I think two Taylors, no MacLaurin. Isn’t the idea of the test supposed to be that it covers everything we’re supposed to learn? Sheesh.
Well, in any event, I should at least escape with a 4 or 5 for my AB score, but I’m also pretty positive about my BC score (threes do me no good…sigh). We shall see.
