“I don’t like making mistakes”. He’s going to be heavily disappointed in life. IMO the worst thing possible a person can do is be perfect. Because there is nothing higher than that. So when you do get lower than perfect you beat yourself up. It’s a negative cycle. It’s very sad people don’t see this.
He says he doesn't like doing mistakes... he didn't say he is perfect neither that he wants to be. He has great dedication that many people are mssing, and this is probably his biggest strength. There's nothing wrong with that attitude.

Nathan Glen the chances that someone will get every single one wrong with out accidentally getting one right is sooooo small like if someone guesses on every one and they are all multiple choice with 4 choices (for simplicitys sake) they chances they get one right is 25%, and theoretically they would get 25% of them right.
MoMo 527 but its much easier to get a 0 than 36. bc for example if you dont know a problem you have that 75/80% of picking the wrong answer instead of the 25/20% for the right answer
The diagram at 1:07 makes me mad Freshmen 14-15 Sophomore 15-16 Junior 16-17 Senior 17-18 Apparently this kid was a sophomore at age 14, but most aren't. IDK y I'm so triggered at this, I just am
Also, some of us were born in foreign countries where kids schools start school earlier. A lot of kids are placed in the equivalent grade once they move here even if then material being taught it’s not the same at that level in the foreign country. I was 13 and a sophomore.
Of course these students are brilliant, but having the right teacher also has a big impact on a student’s success. I can say that Mrs. Watkins, Landon’s teacher, is absolutely amazing. When I was struggling in AP calculus I was fortunate enough to be tutored by her and the way she explained topics was truly enlightening. She really loves what she teaches and when someone is teaching a difficult subject, I think it’s important for them to love and enjoy what they teach.
Calculus is that hard. It's all about remembering your formulas and knowing how to answer the questions on the test. The open response, is usually area under the curve, antiderivatives, derivatives, slope, intergals, limits or theorms
Marianna Smith there’s a difference between being able to do math and understanding math. What you just described is simple regurgitation. There’s nothing wrong with that, as that’s how I passed all my math classes on college LOL. Actually trying to understand the most complex topics will expose you to just how difficult calculus really is.
The second kid looks like a perfectionist type of kid and then I realized how much people who are perfectionist or OCD have literally the best grade and I'm completely jealous because me I am the complete opposite of a perfectionist
I'm pretty sure I'm valedictorian and I'm anything but a perfectionist. Frankly I don't know how I'm getting my grades considering I'm spending my time... here.
It's all about practice and I can guarantee you these students have rigorous work ethic or at least excellent study habits. There was also a bit of luck and natural skill involved. Some people simply are incompetent to even understand math let alone ace an AP exam. Props to these young students. I aspire to be like them!
DaBoss101 yeah, for you. So why are you telling someone else they can't fail cause it's easy for YOU? That's like the guy in this video saying you can't fail the ap calc exam cause it was easy to HIM.
Well the difference between they and me is that they rehearse the problems over and over again, I'm too lazy to do that so im already feeling mcdonalds uniform..
Simple. You can't tell me that because someone hates math they are automatically gonna be bad at it. How do explain the students who are working hard and still failing math, c'mon you don't think genetics can give you a bit of a edge?
To all those 'imperfect' students out there, i just want to say one thing: *Those who make mistakes, learn.* I personally think that a perfect score doesn't really achieve anything but fame for a short period of time. You NEED imperfection to imagine things that other people don't. So don't let those perfect scorers make you feel sad, but feel happy because you've got something to learn from, and they don't.
Really do you think theyre some superhumans no no no! They practise a lot for AP exam till they make it perfect! They actually learn. Remember, theyre not superhuman
4:16 Solution Guide 4 • 4 = 15(?) Let the unknown value = x. Then 4 • 4 = 15x. We are asked to find the the value x such that 15x = 4 • 4 = 16. To find the unknown value, let us begin by isolating x as follows: 15x = 16 divide both sides by 15 x = 16/15 To verify our solution, we plug the value of x back in to the equation to find that 4 • 4 = 16 = 15(16/15) = 16. Notice that that 15 cancels out with the denominator to leave us with 16, thus, 16 = 16 is true and x = 16/15 is the solution to the equation.
@@superg6787 I got a 4 with a lot of studying. What sucks is they don’t give you feedback on what you did wrong. I felt pretty confident about my answers. If you do a lot of studying and do old practice tests I’m sure you’ll get a 4/5
PinkGuy VEVO there are kids like this in public schools, Simone who graduated a year before me got a perfect score in the ACT, the SAT, took a crap ton of AP classes and got a bunch of 5s, they were in a varsity sport for fall, winter, and the spring, and they got Obama to sign some sore of petition, got to meet with a bunch of government people and so on, oh and he played in our chamber orchestra when they performed at Carnegie hall and across some parts of Europe
Cedric was also a kid who got a perfect score AND he goes to public school, he can solve a Rubix cube, and also has immigrant parents. Excuses in the replies, yikes dude.
One very wealthy... one not so wealthy... encouraging parents is something both have in common. Both kids got a bright future and background don’t matter. Put your mind to it and you will do good
damn why are these adults so scared of math, I mean I was afraid when I took Pre-Cal in High school but if you actually take your time to understand than there is nothing to be afraid of and also there are literally teachers and professors teaching lessons on TH-cam, so don't be intimidated by math and try to understand it with all your heart
Remmark Sunga So true. I am 13 years old, but already have much more knowledge about physics and mathematics than we learn at school. And I don't "study" these subjects all day, I just watch some videos on TH-cam or read some pages in a book whenever I want to. And that's not too often. But the reason why I understand is because I WANT to understand. I am not special in any way, the only difference between me and my classmates is that I WANT to learn. So if you want to learn, then you'll understand. 😊
Good for the kid and it's a great achievement, but that school clearly has a lot more resources then most. I'm not saying that he was lucky, but if all children had access to the same resources I am sure there would be many more perfect exams.
Surphlacius Hero it doesn't have to do with the resources though , so how can you explain that some rich or even millionaire teenager do badly or awful at SAT or AP calculus ? , regarding the fact that they can afford basically everything . Money is a factor but it's not the main of them :) (sorry for making some grammar mistakes , I'm Hispanic )
Except not really... as someone who took calculus in a very good school district with an amazing calculus teacher, no one in my school has ever gotten a perfect score, not even a kid who was so good at math he took AP physics B in 5th grade (which was really 4th grade bc he skipped a grade) I have a great math teacher, and 50% of her students who take the BC exams get 5s. Getting a 5 is not the same as a perfect score. To get a five, you have to get around a 70% on the test (depending on the year) To get a perfect score, you'd have to move really really fast, and while moving fast, not make any little errors, in addition to knowing all the concepts extremely well. It's very impressive to get a perfect score. Have you taken AP calculus? It takes a hell of a lot of studying to memorize everything you need to know. If all children had access to these resources, they'd have more people getting 5s but not significantly more people getting the coveted 108/108.
I know right? I saw on Mr. Calculus Website for the 2016 Answers, and I got (a) and (c) right, but (b)? I used the volume formula for cone. All I kept doing was rereading "circular cross sections" and was unsure if I had to integrate... How do you think you did?
+marlen gonzalez Hey, if you feel confident, then you can get a 4 or a 5! :D Were you shocked that there was NOT an FRQ on 3-D Object cross sections or area?
Mr. Cool Haha I hope so :) as long as I passed the exam, I'm happy! Hopefully you passed too 👍 Yes!!! My teacher stressed out a lot on the cross sections and areas and there wasn't any haha How about you? Were you shocked?
Lol I was a little shocked about the cross sectioned (no portion). I normally either do really well or meh on them. Thank you for the kind words Marlen, and I wish you the best of luck on your AP scores =-)! I receive mine tomorrow at 7 a.m.
Take into consideration things like private tutoring, parent income, stress in the household, food security. These factors affect score as well. Often, there is a huge correlation between standardize test score and income of the household when we look at SAT and ACT scores. Based on the normal distribution, students from higher income household outperform lower income household. Standardized testing is designed to measure matriculants analysis, critical thinking, reasoning skills, serving as a form of measurement but the contestant are not even starting from the same start line. So do not let these exam score be the measurer of success for our students!
TBH a huge factor for these exams are luck, sure if you get 100% on any exam it's pretty impressive but no matter how much you prepare it's nearly impossible to get 100% without some form of luck.
I hope that senior goes far in life.He clearly has a harder life and definitely has the smaller opportunity of the top.Not saying that I’m not suprised about both of them getting a perfect.But the senior definitely has a harder life financially.I say that as a Latino
They keep making the curve higher, because ever year (in my opinion) people in America get worse at math, so it gets easier and easier to score a 5 on the exam. That's why I think the most common scores on the exam are both a 1 and a 5
I watched this video as a kid thinking I wish I could be smart and take calculus when I grew older. Now I'm here getting ready for my AP Calc BC exam lol
At my high school (public) most students took Calc AB in sophomore year and Calc BC in Junior year. All students pass and most students earn 5's. The teachers really took their time to design a curriculum that worked.
@@Mmvarto Yeah, you got great GDP but your citizens' bills says otherwise. Of course It's not about your grades or your SAT scores, but it's everything about brains and how you use it.
@@Percent-ed2el That's so primitive news, try to read the updates😁 Is it also fair to say your peeps are eating squirrels and everything in the wild... and even sh*t? No, coz I'm educated enough to know more than that.
Headass, getting a perfect score on a test, even if you are raised in a great education system, is not only hard but sometimes impossible. Even the brightest of minds make silly mistakes when there is pressure or no pressure, It's ignorant to even think that something that is this challenging and prone to make mistakes should be "expected"
As a freshman who scored a five on the calculus exam, they must have honed their skills to reduce silly mistakes because those can happen a lot. Props to them
I encourage any young person to forgo the AP classes in favor of actual college classes at their local community College. It's what I did/am doing for my 3. So far 2 got into UC Berkeley, and our daughter (currently an incoming high school senior) has already gotten several college freshman classes out of the way during her high school junior year. The classes are also transferable. The upside is that ANY Community College class is FREE until you graduate high school.
OP is giving fire advice btw. Community college classes are cheaper and give you a sweet GPA boost (since many universities consider them as weighted classes), and you get even more college credit compared to APs thus saving you in the long run. Programs such as College Connect in California make CC classes free for high schoolers.
English is by far the easiest. I got a 5 on both without any preparation. I’d say Psych is the easiest after English, and then I would say History. I took the ap euro exam (back in 2015 so a year before the change) and it was brutal. But then again, I was in 10th grade and that was my first ap class (didn’t help that I only studied for like one hour total).
I'm proud of this two guys. They are the future of America. They should head to area 21. They don't even need degree. We need the best to advance our technology.

the chances that someone will get every single one wrong with out accidentally getting one right is sooooo small
like if someone guesses on every one and they are all multiple choice with 4 choices (for simplicitys sake) they chances they get one right is 25%, and theoretically they would get 25% of them right.
MoMo 527 but its much easier to get a 0 than 36. bc for example if you dont know a problem you have that 75/80% of picking the wrong answer instead of the 25/20% for the right answer
Incepting
which is why there is also a scholarship (which is probably larger) for anyone who can get a perfect score
They copied off each other.

SlimJim I think I may have been younger as a sophomore because of when I was born, but I’m not sure and I’m too lazy to think too much about it
My friend is a sophomore at 14 cuz he skipped a grade. Maybe this kid did as well, or he just took school early?
SlimJim im gonna be 14 going into sophomore ;
Maybe he skips classes
that's why he is advanced!
Also, some of us were born in foreign countries where kids schools start school earlier. A lot of kids are placed in the equivalent grade once they move here even if then material being taught it’s not the same at that level in the foreign country. I was 13 and a sophomore.
Of course these students are brilliant, but having the right teacher also has a big impact on a student’s success. I can say that Mrs. Watkins, Landon’s teacher, is absolutely amazing. When I was struggling in AP calculus I was fortunate enough to be tutored by her and the way she explained topics was truly enlightening. She really loves what she teaches and when someone is teaching a difficult subject, I think it’s important for them to love and enjoy what they teach.
I would love to be teacher by someone to dedicated and passionate about calculus

Calculus is that hard. It's all about remembering your formulas and knowing how to answer the questions on the test. The open response, is usually area under the curve, antiderivatives, derivatives, slope, intergals, limits or theorms
Marianna Smith if you understand the concepts you don’t even need to know most of the formulas you can solve for them yourself
@@walkermorales337 but that takes more time
That's true for all introductory math courses. Higher level math classes are proof based. Do not ever degrade calculus.
Marianna Smith there’s a difference between being able to do math and understanding math. What you just described is simple regurgitation. There’s nothing wrong with that, as that’s how I passed all my math classes on college LOL. Actually trying to understand the most complex topics will expose you to just how difficult calculus really is.
This will be fun. (Not sarcasm. I actually love math).
The second kid looks like a perfectionist type of kid and then I realized how much people who are perfectionist or OCD have literally the best grade and I'm completely jealous because me I am the complete opposite of a perfectionist

I'm pretty sure I'm valedictorian and I'm anything but a perfectionist.
Frankly I don't know how I'm getting my grades considering I'm spending my time... here.
It's all about practice and I can guarantee you these students have rigorous work ethic or at least excellent study habits. There was also a bit of luck and natural skill involved. Some people simply are incompetent to even understand math let alone ace an AP exam. Props to these young students. I aspire to be like them!

@@vespanfalamarzian6168 it's just practice for students nowadays, anyone can get good grades if they try
To all those 'imperfect' students out there, i just want to say one thing: *Those who make mistakes, learn.* I personally think that a perfect score doesn't really achieve anything but fame for a short period of time. You NEED imperfection to imagine things that other people don't. So don't let those perfect scorers make you feel sad, but feel happy because you've got something to learn from, and they don't.
That's why so many people are afraid of majoring in Physics
Really do you think theyre some superhumans no no no! They practise a lot for AP exam till they make it perfect! They actually learn. Remember, theyre not superhuman
so getting a 200 on your sats is good lol
4:16 Solution Guide
4 • 4 = 15(?)
Let the unknown value = x. Then
4 • 4 = 15x. We are asked to find the
the value x such that 15x = 4 • 4 =
16. To find the unknown value, let
us begin by isolating x as follows:
15x = 16 divide both sides by 15
x = 16/15
To verify our solution, we plug the
value of x back in to the equation to
find that 4 • 4 = 16 = 15(16/15) = 16.
Notice that that 15 cancels out with
the denominator to leave us with
16, thus, 16 = 16 is true and x =
16/15 is the solution to the
equation.

damn why are these adults so scared of math, I mean I was afraid when I took Pre-Cal in High school but if you actually take your time to understand than there is nothing to be afraid of and also there are literally teachers and professors teaching lessons on TH-cam, so don't be intimidated by math and try to understand it with all your heart
Remmark Sunga taking pre cal next year. rip me
I have no idea why calculus is even considered difficult for anyone. All the terms since the first time I heard about them made complete sense to me.
Remmark Sunga So true. I am 13 years old, but already have much more knowledge about physics and mathematics than we learn at school. And I don't "study" these subjects all day, I just watch some videos on TH-cam or read some pages in a book whenever I want to. And that's not too often. But the
reason why I understand is because I WANT to understand. I am not special in any way, the only difference between me and my classmates is that I WANT to learn. So if you want to learn, then you'll understand. 😊
elias wrwf Me too!! Calculus is soo interesting, and I always like to watch a video of some guy solving an integral or differentiation. 😊

Good for the kid and it's a great achievement, but that school clearly has a lot more resources then most. I'm not saying that he was lucky, but if all children had access to the same resources I am sure there would be many more perfect exams.
Surphlacius Hero it doesn't have to do with the resources though , so how can you explain that some rich or even millionaire teenager do badly or awful at SAT or AP calculus ? , regarding the fact that they can afford basically everything . Money is a factor but it's not the main of them :)
(sorry for making some grammar mistakes , I'm Hispanic )
Except not really... as someone who took calculus in a very good school district with an amazing calculus teacher, no one in my school has ever gotten a perfect score, not even a kid who was so good at math he took AP physics B in 5th grade (which was really 4th grade bc he skipped a grade)
I have a great math teacher, and 50% of her students who take the BC exams get 5s. Getting a 5 is not the same as a perfect score. To get a five, you have to get around a 70% on the test (depending on the year)
To get a perfect score, you'd have to move really really fast, and while moving fast, not make any little errors, in addition to knowing all the concepts extremely well.
It's very impressive to get a perfect score. Have you taken AP calculus? It takes a hell of a lot of studying to memorize everything you need to know.
If all children had access to these resources, they'd have more people getting 5s but not significantly more people getting the coveted 108/108.
Yeah, I went to PVI last year, and I had awful grades.
What's crazy is that they didn't talk about Cedricks teacher , everyone in his class passed the AP Calculus exam, I believe it was 8 of them.
Surphlacius Hero keep making excuses to be dumb
The funnel question though of the 2016 calculus ab exam
I know right? I saw on Mr. Calculus Website for the 2016 Answers, and I got (a) and (c) right, but (b)? I used the volume formula for cone. All I kept doing was rereading "circular cross sections" and was unsure if I had to integrate... How do you think you did?
Mr. Cool I think your right haha I don't even know what I did 😂 I did horrible but for the rest of the frqs, I think I did well.
+marlen gonzalez Hey, if you feel confident, then you can get a 4 or a 5! :D
Were you shocked that there was NOT an FRQ on 3-D Object cross sections or area?
Mr. Cool Haha I hope so :) as long as I passed the exam, I'm happy! Hopefully you passed too 👍
Yes!!! My teacher stressed out a lot on the cross sections and areas and there wasn't any haha How about you? Were you shocked?
Lol I was a little shocked about the cross sectioned (no portion). I normally either do really well or meh on them. Thank you for the kind words Marlen, and I wish you the best of luck on your AP scores =-)! I receive mine tomorrow at 7 a.m.
Take into consideration things like private tutoring, parent income, stress in the household, food security. These factors affect score as well. Often, there is a huge correlation between standardize test score and income of the household when we look at SAT and ACT scores. Based on the normal distribution, students from higher income household outperform lower income household. Standardized testing is designed to measure matriculants analysis, critical thinking, reasoning skills, serving as a form of measurement but the contestant are not even starting from the same start line.
So do not let these exam score be the measurer of success for our students!
I got a 5 on BC Calculus...I got a 740 on the SAT Math...None of it matters if you don't have a good work ethic in college.

A five on an AP exam doesn't mean you got ever question correct FYI for those who are unfamiliar with the test.
lllSpringlll yea, when I took it a 5 was 68% or higher
They keep making the curve higher, because ever year (in my opinion) people in America get worse at math, so it gets easier and easier to score a 5 on the exam. That's why I think the most common scores on the exam are both a 1 and a 5

I encourage any young person to forgo the AP classes in favor of actual college classes at their local community College. It's what I did/am doing for my 3. So far 2 got into UC Berkeley, and our daughter (currently an incoming high school senior) has already gotten several college freshman classes out of the way during her high school junior year. The classes are also transferable. The upside is that ANY Community College class is FREE until you graduate high school.
OP is giving fire advice btw. Community college classes are cheaper and give you a sweet GPA boost (since many universities consider them as weighted classes), and you get even more college credit compared to APs thus saving you in the long run. Programs such as College Connect in California make CC classes free for high schoolers.
