I have come across a gem in my calculus studying. It was honestly so helpful cause one of my biggest downfalls on FRQs is that I don't know what the question is asking me to do
Thank you so much! I recently got a 5 on the AP Calc AB 2023 Exam. I binge watched your FRQ videos and did them alongside you. It was almost as if I was being helped in person during office hours with my teacher at school. You've definitely helped me and I'm sure many other students have a similar experience. Thank you again Mr. Sandoval, I will be referencing you to anyone who needs help on the Calc AB/BC exams.
@chocken4867 I’m so glad for you. Congratulations 🎉 it’s so nice to be rewarded after all that hard work. Keep up the great work. I wish you all the best.
Kimberly, that’s normal. You have to fine tune your focus on those FRQs and they usually ask the same things for each type. Go over my other videos and hopefully they can make sense and give you direction on what to study. Hope this helps.
I got a 5 on AB because of this video! I focused on the ones that appeared most frequently days before the exam, and the FRQs came so easily to me. Thank you so much!
What's sad is that the calculus is not that difficult at this stage, but more so retaining the algebra, geometry, and trigonometry to perform well. If you have this and keep mental focus (i.e. avoiding careless errors) and recognize patterns in formatting the exam becomes much simpler.
Great video. Its really helpful to know what to study. For the BC Test my predictions are: Q1:Rate Acc. Q2:Polar Q3:Graph Analysis Q4:Table Question or Diff Equ Q5:Tangency/Series and Q6: Taylor
5:00 would i get docked off points if i wrote the absolute value of the function integerated? Because it asks for total number of vehicles, and I’m applying the same logic from finding total distance
That was not a fun tests. At least I think I did well. This vid helped me with quite a bit with understanding past of this kind of problem and it resulted in at least one more correct multiple choice question.
Andrew, make sure you look at my other videos to help find tune your studying but I definitely think you’ll be getting a Rate Accumulation, a graph analysis question and also a table question…I say that bard on the pattern I’ve seen over the years but no one ever really knows. But if you look at my other videos in the AP Calc Playlist, I think it will help you. Hope this all makes sense.
Hey Daniel, it’s always tough to say but for sure you’ll see a question on Rate Accumulation, they’ll give you a graph to analyze where they ask for the min or max, concavity, etc. I think you’ll get a table question asking about Riemann Sum but if you look at my other videos, I think it will help you fine tune your studying. Hope this helps.
@@jsandov6 Honestly it really helped my teacher assigned us these practice FRQs in class and made us do 2 FRQ tests once every week and nobody knew what was on the test. She also made us do a spiral book which really helped. I just want to say thank you though, you carried me through some hard parts in the class where i thought i was gonna fail.
Lord, please give derauqs eeb the eyes to see what the questions are asking and allow her to understand what to do. Please grant her favor on this test. In Jesus name.
@@nevzforthewin9752 Thank you. For this question specifically I cant graph the function for some reason. Everytime I click graph the calculator thinks and nothing shows up on my graphy. My window is set really small too so I expect to see something at least
They will always ask a rate accumulation question and a graph analysis FRQ. But specific to BC, they’ll ask a polar or parametric, Taylor or Series Question. The other 2 could be table question, differential eqs. I’d make sure to study the main ones and what they usually ask. Check out those vids if you can. Hope this helps
at 10:08, isnt the rate already A(t)? I feel like you would simply have to evaluate A(t) at 1 rather then taking the derivative of A(t). IS that right?
No, they’re asking if it’s increasing or decreasing at 1, so you have to find the rate of change of A(t) to determine if the rate is increasing or decreasing. Hope that makes sense
for part c, why dont u have to shwo that A(t) is positive or negative to determine the asnwer because doesnt a(t) and the derivative of that have to be both positive or negative to be increasing
lpmdiabod, Because they already give you A(t) as a rate and all they’re asking is if that rate is increasing or decreasing. So you take the derivative and if it’s positive the rate is increasing, if the derivative is negative, the rate is decreasing. Hope this makes sense.
I’d have to check the pattern in the last years but if it’s been a while, I would definitely say yes…it’s fundamental to BC…especially finding area of polar

have my exam in about 6 days good luck to everyone!
gl to u too! 3+ here we come
Good luck tomorrow!!!
Was he right?
I just started studying today for tomorrow's test so hopefully this will help a lot lol thanks for this
If you fine tune your focus on those FRQs, it’s not too bad. You can do it!
Lol same
2024!!!! getting that five!!!!
Same here. Gonna get a 5 on this!
This guy helped me so much to prepare for my AP test in 2021!!
What did you end up getting?

Took the test today, thank you for all the videos they were very helpful and they really helped a lot with my understanding for many of the concepts!
You’re welcome! Hope you get that 5
Good luck on monday guys!!!
Love the content you're putting out man. This helps more than you think. Much love from Queens New York.
So glad it’s helping! Keep working hard!
ur a lifesaver.
You’re welcome
Got a 5 on BC with the help of this video, you changed how I look at preparing for AP tests as a whole, thank you.
I’m so happy for you Lowkeyy, it’s a well earned reward after a long year…. Congratulations 🎊 go out and celebrate! Wish you all the best.
You’re seriously the best for this. Thank uuu
So glad it helped!
Test is tomorrow ughhh nervous !!😫

I already took ap calc ab a year ago and scored 5 just by watching those helpful vids. Thanks man🫡

Bro you helped me so much with my frqs with ur videos I feel like I got a 5
I’m so glad! Hope you get a 5
@@jsandov6I did it 🫡
That’s great news mystic! Great work! Go out and celebrate. It’s a nice reward to a long year or hard work. Enjoy
I forgot to thank you, last year i watched your videos to study and got a 5
Thank you!
Thank you so much!😁
You’re welcome! Hope you do well Monday
I JUST FINISHED IT AND NOW I GET THIS VIDEO RECOMMENDED 😭
I have my test tomorrow, wish me luck, Hoping for 4🙏👐🙌
You can do it Sami! Answer every question
@@jsandov6 thank you🙏ill comeback with good news👍
thank you very much 👉 😎👉
You’re welcome!
me whose a junior in college watching this 🧍🏾♀️
5:00 would i get docked off points if i wrote the absolute value of the function integerated? Because it asks for total number of vehicles, and I’m applying the same logic from finding total distance
Not necessarily, but if a function is always positive like A(t) you probably shouldn’t.
Xavier, absolute Value of the function gives you total distance for motion problems. Hope this makes sense
That was not a fun tests. At least I think I did well. This vid helped me with quite a bit with understanding past of this kind of problem and it resulted in at least one more correct multiple choice question.
Hey Space Stick, hopefully you passed the exam. Praying.
5:55 Would I lose points if I wrote out what A(t) is equal to? Like if I wrote 450-sqrt(sin(0.62t) instead of A(t) between the S and dt?
No, both options are accepted
Yes, that would be fine.
What topics would you recommend we study the most for this year’s exam?
Andrew, make sure you look at my other videos to help find tune your studying but I definitely think you’ll be getting a Rate Accumulation, a graph analysis question and also a table question…I say that bard on the pattern I’ve seen over the years but no one ever really knows.

@@jsandov6 Thanks, your videos are a lifesaver! I'm self studying BC and ur videos help so much.
Can you post a video or give some predictions for what will be on this year's test?

@@jsandov6 Thank you! Hope to do well!
at 17:38 how do you solve that if you dont know what value a is and you dont know what A(x) is???
How would you use a graphing calculator to solve A(t) = 400 in part d?
Go into y= and put in A(t). Then y2 = 400 and find where they both intersect
im confused about this too, i tried graphing it and my calculator isn't graphing...
@@charltontsai Go into y= and input A(t), then put y2 = 400 and find where they intersect.
I'm also confused about that part 😅
@@jsandov6 I did that but it did not work
i got different t values on my calculator for 1d. what do i do?
Honestly FRQ’s weren’t horrible except for the 6th one. They had a lot of the same stuff on the test. Wish I went over more multiple choice though.
Good to know. Seems like you did well on the FRQs. That’s the part that is harder for students.
@@jsandov6 Honestly it really helped my teacher assigned us these practice FRQs in class and made us do 2 FRQ tests once every week and nobody knew what was on the test.

got it in 4 hours don’t think i’ll sleep
Hang in there Walter, you got this. One question at a time
my exams on monday good luck guys ❤❤
You so goofy
How do you get the exams formatted like that? I like having space to write down my answers below each question
I just copied the specific question from the pdf and then pasted it on a word document. Hope this helps.
my exam is in 2 hrs and i'm watching this . pray for me
Lord, please give derauqs eeb the eyes to see what the questions are asking and allow her to understand what to do. Please grant her favor on this test. In Jesus name.
Can someone please tell me how he used his calculator to find what x value is for y=400 for part d. I have a ti-84 plus
Go into y= and put in the two functions 400 and A(t) into Y1 and Y2 then graph them and see where they intersect
@@nevzforthewin9752 Thank you. For this question specifically I cant graph the function for some reason. Everytime I click graph the calculator thinks and nothing shows up on my graphy. My window is set really small too so I expect to see something at least
@@TheClapGodSr. press zoom then zoomfit. i have the same calculator and it worked for me
@@TheClapGodSr. DUDE ME TOO IM GOING CRAZY IM SO CONFUSEDDD
Im having the same problem
do you have any pdf versions of all the Taylor series FRQa from past years?
Hey Emily, I can try and make a video showing those Taylor Series FRQs
ruclips.net/video/nqY0PiDmZ2w/видео.html it seems like you've already made one!
GL
Have my exam in 30 minutes good luck
8:18 , would i lose points for having 375.536 vehicles per hour as the answer?
Hey cool person, no you would get all the points if you wrote it like that.
Sorry to inconvenience you, but what questions from previous frqs would go along with the frq questions for BC?
They will always ask a rate accumulation question and a graph analysis FRQ. But specific to BC, they’ll ask a polar or parametric, Taylor or Series Question. The other 2 could be table question, differential eqs. I’d make sure to study the main ones and what they usually ask. Check out those vids if you can. Hope this helps

yeah that's what I was thinking as well
@@kiankhorashadi8397 i just realized that it asks whether the rate is inc or Dec, implying that it’s asking about the rate of the rate
No, they’re asking if it’s increasing or decreasing at 1, so you have to find the rate of change of A(t) to determine if the rate is increasing or decreasing. Hope that makes sense
for part c, why dont u have to shwo that A(t) is positive or negative to determine the asnwer because doesnt a(t) and the derivative of that have to be both positive or negative to be increasing

@@jsandov6 so is the thing i said only for particle motion for velocity and acceleration?
@@ipmdiabod2144 yes, that is correct
Do you have a link to the google spreadsheet where you put the patterns?
I don’t, I have to figure out how to upload so everyone can have access to it.
Do you think Polar will show up for the 2024 bc exam been a while
I’d have to check the pattern in the last years but if it’s been a while, I would definitely say yes…it’s fundamental to BC…especially finding area of polar
hopefully you respond by morning but you say in part D to put it in to your caculator how might i do that
On a ti-84 calculator you just need to press the math button under the alpha button and press 9 and plug in all the numbers
