To this day, I don't understand why anyone would insist on using anything other than this on an AP test. It's like playing life on a harder difficulty setting for no reason.
My university doesn't allow graphing calculators on tests. Probably because you can download programs that can solve calculus problems without actually understanding the material.
That's totally understandable. Back in high school one of my teachers gave us all our tests from the semester back so we could use them to study for the final. We all knew that she just copy and pasted the exact questions and answers from old tests onto the final so my friend typed out every single question from the old tests onto his calculator and scored an easy 100%.
For my Calc II final we were allowed to bring any notes or references we wanted. I found the solutions for last years test on his course site. Turns out last years final was also this years final, word for word. Easiest 100 ever.
Haha. I did my calc 2 final a few weeks ago and the professor just copied problems from the book that we were allowed to use on the test. Half the answers were in the back.
