    I used to teach AP Calculus AB and that was one of the most fun experiences that I had. One of my favorites is related rates and the other one is optimization problems!
    It's amazing how a teacher can make such a huge difference in your life. My 8th grade math teacher was one of the best teachers that I have ever seen in my life and he is the one who inspired me to pursue math.
    Btw, great video! 🤩

    Interesting that the first two ‘calculator’ problems would not have been too bad and certainly possible for a first year student without a calculator. Recent exam questions pretty much always give crazy equations on the calculator section (more like your #3) to hopefully make it obvious that they want you to go immediately to go to the calculator after setting up the integral or derivative.

      The current test/expectations have gone through 2 major revisions I think, and the one in 2017 expects much more verbal analysis (more words to justify your work), though not much more complex actual calculations. Good luck!

    Q6 can be solve by expanding sin(5x+π/4)= cos(π/4)sin(5x) + sin(π/4)cos(5x) and writing each sin(5x) & cos(5x) as taylor series in (5x)…

      @@blackpenredpen Yep, three different tests. The online one will likely look pretty different as well since there are too many online tools that can solve basic integrals and such. I think BC needed this. I follow the AP Calculus teacher community on Facebook pretty closely and it is clear that some classes/schools really need the extra time since every district this year has handled class times and meeting arrangements differently. Personally, I was able to finish the curriculum in time, but about three weeks later than I would have liked, so I gave my students the choice on what date they'd like to take it and it was a pretty 50/50 split between the two in-person dates. I'm calling my May 4thers the scouts for the May 24thers!
