I, too, know that feel. Hang in there brah.

>opting out of calc I
ISHYGDDT

yeah I'm not taking it, because it seemed like a really fucking stupid idea to skip calc 1 in college. Purdue would whip my ass.

>tfw

I could nail these problems if I just had a computer to do these integrals. Why do I have to do them by hand? Why?

>>5741885
I wouldn't want to be a freshman on such a confusing campus trying to ace calc 2, yeah.

>>5741892
>>5741885
My friend skipped calc 1 and took honors calc 2 there as a freshman and had no problem

>>5741881
>>5741885
I'm majoring in electrical engineering. You're going to have to elaborate on why it is retarded.

>>5741875
I know that feel, bro. I'll probably do fine.

Semi-related, how'd everyone do on the AP Chem? And which of those oxides at the start of the MC was amphoteric?

>>5741914
Just a very difficult course for most people. Godspeed.

>>5741892
Yo you should skip calc 1 but not 2 unless you dont actually want to understand calc 2.

If you are a premed go for testing out of it, though.

>tfw got 87/88 on my calc 2 final
>tfw the question I got wrong was because I wrote down a 2 instead of a 3 because I couldn't read how messy my writing was from the previous step
I literally felt like killing myself for that, and it happens on every fucking test I get.

I'm tutoring a student for AP calc and the hoops they have students jump on the free response are just ridiculous. Also, why the hell do they have you memorize the derivatives for inverse trig functions, and then arbitrarily choose integrals for you to solve with a calculator?

>high school "AP" calc
>not even once

>fuck
get a C on the first test before midterms in stats
get A's on the remaining two tests, walk out of the final doing fine.
fucker gives me a B

>>5741936
I agree. Have you seen the diver problem? Look up the BC Calc diver problem. It's fucking retardedly hard.

GO TO SLEEP!!!!
Seriously. Maybe unwind for a little while first, go for a little run or something, then sleep sleep sleep. Like 8 hours before you have to get going of course, or 8 hours before you should probably get out of bed to start a decent day anyways.

>>5741951
Hell, that looks more like a Physics C mechanics problem

>>5741950
>Linear algebra C
>Statistical Methods C

Why so plebeyan?

>>5741957
>linear algebra C
wut, everything is A except for stats

>>5741958
My mistake.

>Lineal algebra B
>Statistical Methods C

Why so plebeyan?

>>5741951
OP here.

I'm really fucking scared now to be honest. That's multiple times harder than anything else I've seen so far.

>>5742024
lrn2think moran

>>5741875
we are all scared before exams, but relax dude, when the time gets, you senses will be more alert, and you will check everything as you advance on the exam.

the curve for the BC exam is ridiculous. i've taken 3 practice tests and on all of them i've had enough points for a 3 from just the MC and enough for a 5 from just MC+1 part of FRQ

if you don't get a 5 you should not opt out of college calc even if the college accepts a 3 or 4

I'm only taking the AB, but the curve for a lot of the AP tests is ridiculous. In Calc, I need about 60% I think, for a 5.

Physics C, I need a 55% for a 5 and 41% for a 4.

Even if you get 100% on the AP exam, take Calc 1 in college anyway, and get a free A. Your GPA will thank you.

>>5742121
Stay pleb my friend.

>>5742121
plus you will learn how to actually do calculus dont be one of those dumbshits who i tutor in calc 2 who have no clue what they are doing

Calc AB fag here, school doesn't offer anything higher
>nobody in my class actually understands what the fuck they are doing, just memorize what to do for certain problems
>not even studying because I actually know what an integral does
I'll be taking Calc 1 over most likely, but I have a very solid understanding of all of the material. Always forgetting negative signs and things like that though.
you only need around a 48% overall for a 3

>>5742121
Agreed.
You can take the class for an easy A and you can get paid to tutor people in the class.

My friend's brother who majored in some form of engineering at UVA took calculus 2 freshmen year of college. Because he didn't take calculus 1 at university calc 2 was hard for him.
He later repeated the class with an easy A but retaking courses looks bad.

>>5742146
>nobody in my class actually understands what the fuck they are doing, just memorize what to do for certain problems

WELCOME TO COLLEGE.

Wasted so many semesters trying to "get" Calculus. Found out the hard way that A students just memorize and grind it out.

>>5742146
AB fag here too.

Stop caring for Calculus midway in the year with around a B-. Took it at a community college and I'm about to finish with a high A. Feels good that I won't have to take another year of math. (Yeah I'm stopping at Calc 1 so what I'm going into nursing)

>>5742146
>only need a 48% overall for a 3
wow if that's true my teacher really overworked my class, gave us surprise tests and everything.

>>5742150
Smart move dude.

pro tip 2 of college: take all math classes at community colleges. The content isn't that much different but at your uni the ramp up the difficulty just to be dicks and has no education benefits .

>>5742154
wow to add on i just checked my teacher's AP results for last year and over 90% of her students got a 5. god dammit i've been working too hard

>>5742158
Yeah I'm glad I made the decision. I may have wasted near $600 but it was worth it to me.

I also decided to take Chemistry at a community college. I knew the subject and didn't want to repeat it in freshmen year.

I will probably continue to take a few courses at a CC such as organic chemistry when the time comes.

i'm screwed on anything on related rates

>>5742201
Just remember to implicitly derive. That's it.

>>5742201
>screwed on rates
>screwed on anything involving a derivative
good luck kid

>taking BC
>teacher threw series at us last 2 weeks
>have almost no clue what to do
>take practice exam
>leave taylor series FRQ almost completely blank
>still get a 5
>still have no idea what to do
Should I even be worried?

>that feel when studying the entire book the day before.
I'm over halfway through my book, looks like I'm not sleeping tonight.

this actually helped me:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqwC41RDPyg

I got a 5 on that test.

AB fag here too. What are you guys doing tonight for that last review? Any good sites?

>>5742263
Go over your trig

what happens if i bring my cell phone into the test

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIYbBm3SWqE&list=EC745CEF9FA796D4E0
im going through that playlist now and it is helping me with my review.

>>5741951
this is hard?
my fucking teacher gave this to us on a quiz. I felt badly about not doing well

Also, taylor series for the last FRQs, fuck yes. I love taylors.

Go to sleep Zac, Alfred, Gary, Nathan, William...

OP here. Destroyed it, almost certainly got a 5.

>>5743532
No u didnt

>pic related: it's OP

Delete thread please.
Stupid fucking underage

Yo for my chem exam I bubbled A for every single multiple choice but I dominated the frq and I got a five u can all worship me
