How did I do on the AP test?
For me, the multiple choice portion
of the test was the easiest. I was
surprised at how easy the problems were compared to Mr. Block’s sample problems
from class. I feel that I did
really well on this part of the test.
However, the free response questions I found quite difficult. I think that the sample free response
problems that Mr. Block gave in class were easier than the one’s on the test
(found above). Overall, I feel
pretty good about the test though and think that I will get the four that is
needed by my college.
The biggest piece of advice I can think
to give is to find a group of friends to work with. Everyone is always better at certain problems, so it was a
big help for my group and I to combine our knowledge and teach each other. Also, make sure to do some homework, or
at least look over the assignment to make sure you are able to do all of the
problems. Also, it is a big help
to read the book before you start to learn something. If you don’t, you will be extremely confused and frustrated
in class when Mr. Block starts to teach.
Outside of calculus, my advice to anyone entering there Senior year is
to enjoy it. I know it sounds
cliché and you probably don’t believe this, but it goes so fast! I used to not be able to wait to
graduate, but now that I am, I am actually really sad. Although I am excited for college, I am
going to miss Athens and all of my friends so much! Take lots of pictures over the next year- you’ll be glad you
did!
I'm attending Grand
Valley State University Valley State University in Allendale,
Michigan, just outside of Grand Rapids. I intend to major in Business
Management or Theater Management with a minor in dance. My plan is to transfer
to NYU or one of a few 
private New York Schools after a year
of two at Grand Valley. I would
have liked to go there next year, but my mom is having a hard enough time with
me moving three hours away, let alone half way across the country. My dream is to one day dance on
Broadway or become a Radio City Rockette though and I know that New York will
give me the greatest opportunities.
I am actually going to an audition next week in Chicago for the
Rockettes. Since I am not even out
of high school and they only take 112 out of 10,000 girls who audition, I do
not plan at all on making it.
However, after attending the audition, I will know what I need to work
on and then, hopefully, I will make it in a few years!

Links
- Link 1 - The Box
Problem. The site is very interactive with some fun applets and such. The
directions are very step-by-step and it's pretty hard NOT to get the
solution. If you pick a wrong choice, the box will pop up and let you know
you're wrong. It has both the graphical and the calculus solutions.
- Link 2 - The Volume
of a Vase Problem. You use the cursor to pick points on the side of the
vase, and then export the points into TI Interactive. Once there, you can
easily get all the equations you need. There are directions on the site
for setting up integrals with your calculator.
- Link 3 - The Length
of a Pipe Problem. Similar to the vase problem above. You pick the points
and set up the integral like before. The directions listed on the site are
the same as the vase problem. I didn't like this problem - it doesn't
really make sense or work too well.
