Only one in the class, not to brag, just happy that I did well. It was simple stuff, combing polynomials, finding area of polygons, linear equations .

sorry, it's a mix of both :P. The comment is sarcastic in that I don't see anything difficult with at least what I've seen in calc so far (and please note that what I've covered is only the ap calc stuff), while being serious when taken from the point of view of the average student in an ap calc class. I'm too vague, and these smilies :O are not conveying enough information xD...

Haha, I see what you mean. I'm taking Calc BC, and basically skipped pre-calc. Just a junior though I pretty much agree with you there, the average intro calculus student seems to be quite out of it. Can't wait for Linear Algebra (or multivariable calc...or both
) next year. ^_^
