Calculus SAC

[davidle_10]

Does anyone have any calculus application sacs? I need them to practice for my SAC next week.

You could look at Checkpoints for Calculus. Those questions are pretty good.

I think checkpoints is best done after you learned the entire course. That's my opinion anyway.

uhhh that DEFEATS the purpose of checkpoints...

Not really, doing checkpoints once you've learnt everything is most productive, I'd say
That is, if you learn your stuff early (and properly)

Yeah I agree, use it as revision since you'll have to remember everything you learned the entire year.

Plus for a guy like me who's learning all this for the first time, I can't do many questions in the checkpoints yet -_-

Btw, I have the checkpoints CAS, there's also a non-CAS one, is it worthwhile to get that one too?

Haha you should've told me that in year 11! I started like in April and panicked so much because I couldn't do a few of the extended response questions. But it really depends. I think if you're keen on getting a real advantage, it shouldn't hurt to attempt those questions now. You might find them challenging but if you understand, or kind of understand how to do those questions it could be greatly advantageous on your SAC. But it depends on the individual

I know a lot of people at my school did do Checkpoints for SACs. It was rather frightening seeing just how many people had a copy of Checkpoints on them before Methods SACs...

Don't think it's worth worrying and cramming for SACs, just relax and do what you can. If you've been working consistently, you'll be fine.

I think Checkpoints should be done as you complete each topic. It is good revision and it exposes you to the type of questions that will actually be required of you for the course. You COULD do it all at once at the end, but in my experience, if you have been getting things done throughout the year, you won't have too much trouble recalling it prior to exams anyway.

Exactly.
