AB/Integration Review
AB topics were revisited today. At this point in my calculus career, it's not too difficult remembering all the integration rules and such. No problems with these at all. -

Diff EQ Review
Differential equations were reviewed today. I had almost forgotten how to do Euler's method, but I've got it down now. I think I'll have a little trouble differentiating the two forms of logistic diff eqs, but they're not too difficult to figure out. All the other topics today were not difficult at all. -
Infinite Series Review
Series were reviewed today. Not too bad at all. I have most of the common transcendental functions' series memorized. However, I don't have the power series for the natural logs memorized yet -- must work on that soon. -
Taylor Polynomials, Series, Remainders Review
Taylor Polynomials, Series, and Remainders were revisited today. I had almost forgotten about the fact that the radius of convergence was the same for derivatives and integrals of a power series. I should also do well to remember the "first neglected term" rule for alternating series. Besides that, I'm set in this area. -
AP Practice
Today we applied the topics we reviewed up to this point (mostly taylor polynomials, etc.) with some practice problems. I'm doing well on these for most of these. I feel comfortable with the material. -
Advanced Integration Review
Advanced integration techniques were covered today. Integration by parts, partial fractions, and infinite integrals are pretty easy to deal with. I should go over tabular method again, though. -
Surface Area, Volume of Revolution, Cross Sections Review
Applications of integrals was the topic today. I haven't got any of the volume formulae memorized, but they're easy to derive in a pinch since it's essentially just the area and circumference of a circle for the volumes of revolution and area of a particular shape for volumes of cross sections. For surface area as well, I can derive the formula as long as I remember the formula for length of a curve. That shouldn't be tough. -
Polar Review
Polar functions and graphs were reviewed today, in preparation for the test. Since this one is our most recent unit, it's very fresh in my mind. I remember the general forms of all the special polar functions (circle, lemniscate, etc.), so I should be good there.The two things I need to look over are volume and surface area of a polar curve revolved about an axis. -
Polar Test
I'm confident that I did well on most parts of the test. However, I wasn't able to recall or derive the equations for surface area of a revolution. Everything else should be good. If I work on the surface area bit more, I'll be set for the AP. -
Another Practice
Today was more practice with AP-style problems. Like the last practice session, I've gotten most of them correct. I still have to go over some topics in polar, though. -
Pre-pre-game (AP Chem)
I had a chem exam today, so I was not in class. I'm still reviewing some stuff at home. I think I understand how to do the polar surface area of revolution -- I haven't memorized the formula, but could derive it if necessary. -
Pre-Game
We reviewed some tips on how to take the exam efficiently, which was indeed helpful. At this point, I've got the calculus down. I think I'm going to avoid any extra, last-minute studying today to avoid any stress before tomorrow. -
The Big Game
The exam went very well I thought. I had little difficulty with either section. The last problem on the free response was by far the most challenging question. I think I got most of it correct, though. Hoping for a 5.
