we've had a sucky year in calc. There are only 5 ppl in my calc class, and we've pretty much stopped for the year. I know quite a bit, but i dont think its nearly enough for the test. I have the barrons book. How should I prepare? btw i only have 2 weeks...

Take a practice test, for every question you miss or don't know very well do ALL the practice problems for.

A 70% is usually the cut-off score for a 5. Remember, the test makers do not expect you to be an expert in calc, just have a good understanding of basic ideas. Know that the derivative is the rate of change. The integral is an accumulation function. And know how to use your graphing calculator. Time yourself on the test -- no more than two minute per mc problem and 15 minutes per free response. Do not make stupid algebra mistakes and know basic trig (unit circle, basic identities).

My teacher told us anything above a 60 on our practice tests is VERY good. I think with the right about of studying you'll be in good shape
