Today in Calc we worked on reviewing basic integration. I have the most trouble with trigonometric integration because I forget which trig intergrals have negatives. I also need to review the inverse trig integrals/derivatives. Other than that, I think I remember most of the concepts we reviewed, like Riemann sums and average value
-
Today we reviewed differential equations. I am glad to report that Bernoulli equations will not be on the AP! I need to review logistic equations and growth/decay, but I think I still remember Euler's method and separable diff eqs. We also briefly went over slope fields, which I also understand pretty well #ithink.
-
Today we went over sequences and the various tests to determine convergence and divergence of a series. It is important to remember that a sequence is a list of numbers, while a series is a sum. I remember geometric and P-series, but I should review the integral test and the direct comparison test. Also, we went over how to use partial fractions to get a telescoping series, which I should review becaus I forget how to do that.
-
Today we reviewed Taylor & MacLaurin Series/Polynomials. I remember this unit pretty well, though I need to go back and rememorize the series for common transcendental functions. We also went over how to convert a function to a geometric series using a/(1-r) which I remember! Yay!
-
Today in Calc we did 3 AP probs with a partner (in my case Matt Bender). I understood how to do all 3 problems, but I need to remember that in order to find where a particle is farthest to the right parametrically you use the derivative of x(t) and find the max.
-
Today we did 28 non-calculator multiple choice questions. I did questions 1 through 14, which were all pretty straightforward except for numbers 4, 9, 10, and 11. I didn't recognize the limit definition of the derivative in number 4 #oops
Also, number 11 was about MacLaurin series/polynomials, which I definitely need to review because I forget how exactly you make them (though I remember the specific ones for e^x, sinx, cosx, etc. relatively well) -
Today we worked on the multiple choice portion of the partner AP test. It went pretty well! I am going to look over series and the mean value theorem.
-
Today we continued our calc review with advanced integration. Luckily I remember most of this unit! Yay!
-
Today we continued reviewing for the AP test. I need to review improper integrals!
-
Today we graded our review homeworks. Then we reviewed more for the AP! yay! The homeworks made sense, but I think it is important to read the question carefully and work slowly. But not TOO slowly
-
Today we went over our partner tests and our THTs. The partner test went well, and the THT was okay...the free response was kind of rough, and I made some stupid mistakes on the MC. Hopefully making corrections this weekend will be a good review!
-
Today I took the Psych AP test. It went well! I did my multiple choice THT corrections, which helped me review. I also used my review book to study the concepts I did not remember.
-
Today I took the spanish AP test - it also went pretty well! I worked on the free response corrections and got a lot of sleep! OMG the AP test is tomorrow!
-
Today was the AP TEST!! It went better than expected! The non-calc MC was great, while the calc MC was pretty tough! The free response was easy and I ended up with a lot of extra time. Yay!
