My school is crazy competitive about it. I am from Michigan..Okemos high school. Freshman takes 2 APs and Junior takes 5 APs ..so by the time they apply to college, they have 12 APs
Hey Joey! Couple of questions: 1. For all of question 2, would it be ok if I used thousands? (because I'm pretty sure I got the right answers, just used thousands to get them) 2. For Question 4.)B.)i.) would it be ok if I left the logarithm in unsimplified form, because the question didn't specifically ask to completely simplify? It only asked to give an expression with a single logarithm. 3. For Question 4.)C.) Why would it be pi/8+pi/2k instead of pi/8+pik? Thanks!
1. As long as you got the correct answers, I don’t believe it matters for the set-up. 2. At the beginning of question 4, it specified that all exponents must be completely combined, so I’m not sure how I simplified you left it. 3. Pi/8 + piK would be correct if you also included 5pi/8 + piK
imo u should do the algebraic way first an then check ur answer using a graphing calculator. Not everyone has a graphing calculator and it would also make for a better experience understanding the algebra or logic behind the question rather than just plugging stuff in ur calc.
This was extremely helpful! At 23:13 why did you put the log10(3) down of the bottom instead of multiplying on on the top? I thought it goes on the bottom because it comes after the minus which means to devide do you're deviding by 5log10(2-x) times log10(3).
Anything added goes in the numerator. Anything subtracted goes in the denominator. You could have rewritten the logs so that the log 3 came before the subtracted log. That way it’s easier to see where it goes.
when i tried putting the equations into my calculator at 3:12 mine kept giving me two straight lines instead of the curve like yours why does it do that?
can you please go through the 3rd practice exam MCQ both non-calculator and calculator, and also the FRQ section of it aswell. this video was very helpful with clear explainations.
For The Second Frq section(ii), cant you just do a + b(r) where a is the intial plants of t and b is the difference between your years. so when t = 2 you have 59 plants. Your finding t = 10 so difference is 10 - 2 = 8. so you can do 59 + (8)x(9.833) which is your ROC and i got 137.64
These questions and the ones on practice exam 3 you asked a student to email you are secure documents and should not be posted here. It is a violation of College Board policy and you should remove it.
”it is a violation of college board policy and you should remove it” 🤓 they make enough money as it is are we really gonna freak out over one guy going over some exam material 😭
@@nate._.5991 has nothing to do with money. It has to do with respecting teachers and students who are doing their best to prep for the exam the right way and need secure materials to do that.
It’s actually not about money. It is about respecting copyright, intellectual property, and the work of both students and teachers trying to learn course content who deserve to have valid assessment instruments available.
@@lauriemcdonald2585 girl that's wild. Everyone out here is trying to learn, it's not that deep. And seriously copyright? Go check out math teacher goat he has another college board practice test on his channel with way more views. It's not that serious, we're all trying to pass or get a 5. We need all the help we can get
Hey can you do something similar but for the entire practice test 3 by the college board? My teacher gave me the practice test without an answer key and I am really struggling.
@@gizmo4192 yea but its good for us cause first time takers are definetly doing bad. College board is still a business so if they get mostly bad scores they will inflate it so its good for the student and them.
HAHA me too i answered D and went ahead and re-read it are you saying that the answer is C because it describes the problem and later on in the passage it says that there method wasn't sufficient. SO the only way for it to be D would be if the highlighted part was more to the bottom? plz explain though i''m not exactly sure if i'm getting it
Just a note: UMD (University of Maryland @ College Park) does consider your desired major for what they call limited enrollment programs (those programs where they have a set amount of space available). So you can apply for those LEPs ( Engineering, Business, Nursing, Computer Science, plus about 7 others), get rejected for your chosen program, and STILL gain admission as "General Studies" if you have an otherwise good to great application. You then can apply to your chosen program after your first semester.
All these explanations are roundabout ways of saying Asian Americans are expendable. Asian Americans, when you reach apex positions in the industry, don't feel bad about declaring these admission officers and letter writers and interviewers and policy makers as elites and their children as coming from elite families, and deprioritize them in hiring. You can attach the elite status to them for a generation or three.
I appreciate your take on this. AP Madness is a real thing. I’d love you to update this. Our school offers 20+ AP courses, with 6 available class periods per week (2 saved for lunch, PE, health, etc as required by school) and all are full year classes. Daughter has friends who have taken 4-6 AP classes per year. It’s insane. It doesn’t allow for growth in other areas. I understand academic rigor, but colleges will only accept so many APs for credit and that’s only if you get a 4-5 on the test. Many, if not most, colleges won’t give you credit for more than one semester’s worth of classes because it reduces their income. So all AP classes get you is access to even harder classes in college. Taking more than 6 is a waste of time and money and a source of undue stress. Colleges have reported that they’re seeing kids with an inability to socialize and interact in unstructured environments. Between the pandemic and this academic pressure kids aren’t just hanging out, relaxing, letting off steam. Every moment is a structured activity, often still coordinated by adults, that is intended to bolster their college application. College is a good goal, but it’s not the end goal. Growing up, having a fulfilling life that includes hobbies, friends, loving interpersonal relationships as well as a decent job should be the goal.
Took AP World as a freshman, sophomore i took AP Euro and AP Seminar, Junior is AP Calc AB, APUSH, AP Research, AP Computer Science A, AP English Lang, then as a senior: AP Statistics, AP Lit, AP BIO, and AP US GAP
This is an excellent video with really good analysis. The grade inflation at this Bay Area school is absolutely bonkers. I do a little college counseling related work in midwest so I have some thoughts on admissions for UW Madison. A few things ... one - the AO at UW is certainly targeting to keep CS interested students at a certain level for incoming freshman. The days of pretending all L&S students there are looked at the same in admissions are probably numbered.. Two - acceptance rate they publish are totally irrelavent if you are OOS or applying to one of their popular programs/majors. I live in a neighboring state, and many urban and suburban students here talk about UW with very high regard and acceptance rates are low at Minneapolis and Chicago area schools. Three - CA is a top 5 state for applications to UW Madison. They require a "Why UW" essay and I think that really matters in this particular admissions office. They have no shortage of applications from high stat CS interested students from the CA and the bay area. The kid that wrote the essay about very SPECIFIC things they imagine doing on this particular campus might win over the kid who applied to too many schools, wrote a very generic essay that could apply to any number of schools. Because that kid isn't likely to attend anyway. And were they wrong? This kid turned down UT Austin and UMD, both fantastic competitive OOS options. No way Stanley would have stepped foot on a campus as "lowly" as UW Madison. Seems like he didn't make the best list for himself. I do feel badly for CA students in this regard. Admissions for public schools in CA is bonkers. Though he certainly could have had an affordable in state option if he didn't. For sure it pays to have a dad going to bat for you. But that's how real life works. Connections matter. But for a student applying from the Bay Area to this particular list of pretty REACHY schools, this doesn't seem like an unlikely result. A friend's kid is dropping 80-90k a year for an east coast private because of bay area admissions and making a not great list. I assume this student would and could be full pay everywhere. But middle and upper middle class families need the ability to compare financial offers. The ED process definitely benefits the most wealthy.
That’s interesting insight on Madison! I know other states have a very strong limit on Out-of-state applicants and have publicly stated so. I haven’t heard much from Madison.
Things like poor grades or test scores can result in a rejection. The thing which are most likely to result in an acceptance is to be interesting, through the essays and recommendations. The colleges want students who will contribute to the campus, both academically and non-academically.
This whole college admissions thing is a scam. Don't buy into it. Take a deep breath. Then, take a common sense approach. Sure, study and get decent grades (mix of As and Bs). Only take an AP course if subject interests you. Participate in extra curricular activities because you enjoy them not because it will look good on a college application. Have a summer job. Learn to drive a car. Pick-up some practical "everyday" survival skills from mom and dad. Then, when the time comes, apply to the solid public and private that focus on undergraduate teaching and students. Don't apply to schools just because US News ranks them highly, which is largely a load of BS. These rankings are primarily based on the number of students they reject not on how well they teach. I went to a local Cal State (not UC) and then my employer paid for my MBA at a small local private school. I had people working for me that had graduate degrees from Berkeley and MIT. Hard work. Common sense. Good communication skills. Team player. Behave professionally. You do these things and no one well even ask you what university you attended.
