The test will have one part that does not allow calculators, and another part that does. Within each there will be "free response" questions, and "Multiple Choice" style questions in the style of AP Calculus Exam.

The College Board that administers the AP exams has this helpful passage about what should be included in a free response question:

Students are expected to show enough of their work for Readers to follow their line of reasoning. To obtain full credit for the solution to a free-response problem, students must communicate their methods and conclusions clearly. Answers should show enough work so that the reasoning process can be followed throughout the solution. This is particularly important for assessing partial credit. Students may also be asked to use complete sentences to explain their methods or the reasonableness of their answers, or to interpret their results.

For results obtained using the calculator, students are required to write the setup (e.g., the equation being solved, or the function being evaluated) that leads to the solution, along with the result produced by the calculator. For example, if the student is asked to find the area of a region, the student is expected to show a function or formula (i.e., the setup) and the answer.

When a student is asked to justify an answer, the justification must include mathematical reasons, not merely calculator results. Functions, graphs, tables, or other objects that are used in a justification should be clearly identified.

The content of the test includes everything from Chapter 5 section 3 back to "Big Bird's Big Book of Numbers" (see the list of topics below). In the free response portion you will be required to have fractions in reduced form, with rational denominators. All irrationals should be simplified as well (eg. The square root of eight is reducible to Two times the square root of Two).

Here is a check list of the topics from the first quarter:

• Euler's Method
• Logistic and Exponential Modeling
• Partial Fractions
• Arc Length
• Area of a Surface of Revolution
• Basic Integration Rules (page 522)
• Integration by Parts (Ultra-Violet Voodu)
• Trigonometric Integrals (odd and even powers of sine and cosine)
• Integration Using Partial Fractions
• Indeterminate Forms and L’Hôpital’s Rule
• Improper Integrals

It would be good to go over old quizzes, Webwork, homework and tests; review what you did well, and learn from any mistakes.

Bring a calculator, a number 2 pencil and good eraser as all scantron responses are graded according to what the machine interprets (this is to prepare you to the cruel reality of how it is with AP Exams and other standardized tests)

The exam is worth 15%, and will be curved.

Remember to a good night's rest, and eat a healthy breakfast!

Good Luck!
