    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.

    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

      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.

    • @jsandov6
      @jsandov6  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.
