thank you so much! i was searching all over for a rubric to the sample problems and couldn't find one. this is even better!

[sarahannbu]

Thank you sosososo much for this! I'm currently cramming and the FRQs were quite a struggle which worried me. I think I'm in better shape now

I watched this about 4 hours prior to the exam and it helped. Thx for making this.

Thanks for this. I was trying to watch the ab calc review vids from AP and those teachers can’t get anything done without making mistakes everywhere and annoying me like mad. Finally a vid I could learn and review some stuff from for today and know how to get college board’s nit picky points

[ishaperry]

thank you so much for this. I was looking everywhere to check my answers!

[Koltuh]

thank you so much! I can't find reviews of 2020 BC practice exams by CB anywhere, only the practice itself which is odd seeing that AB gets exam review videos. Very helpful!

[Schlurpp]

I understood everything except that last problem. I will take the 4.

At 20:58 you said you increase the exponent to a really large value. Aren't you substituting the infinity for b not p, the exponent?

[zacharyferraro]

I’m glad I kinda understand some of these questions as I’m actually taking AP Calc AB rn

[ProloguePrincess]

Good luck to everyone taking the exam!! Let’s do our best :)

16:35, can you explain how the integral of f(x) is h(x)? The fundamental theorem of calculus states that integral from 0 to x f(t)dt = f(x), i am really confused because shouldnt that mean that f(x) = g(x)?

At time 10:00 approximately, shouldn't u have included the sharp turns as well because it would be the undefined portion of the graph, like the critical points u did include them, but x=2 is supposed to be an undefined point, right ?

[idafan]

Thank you so much! I was stupid and haven't studied since spring break, and now I'm doing the retake in less than 2 days. Eek.

Edit after watching: Wooo, only some small I-can't-read-my-handwriting issues and (g)!

[gracexiao]

for part f, I have a question about the way the expression is written. should the integral be written as in terms of t instead of x?

[Jason-cszt]

Man I wish I saw this before I took the exam 10 min ago, my recommended page just taunts me tbh

[FarzanHashmi]

For c, couldn't you just use intuition to realize the area under the curve for F(t) would be greatest from -2 to 5 instead of even using the FTC and doing a table?

[naidely]

For part (f) if h(1) is an APPROXIMATION then we shouldn’t use an equals sign?

[cyrusxiang]

Did CB release the official answer to this sample test yet?

[daphnesparacio]

Who else is watching this 30 minutes before the exam?

[kitkat]

Does college board accept decimal answers? Great video btw :))
