How did yalls exam go?

I had the version with the 25g(x) as part D of the 6th FRQ, and generally i think Q6 was fairly straightforward.

MCQ Calc section felt simple, but I feel like the non calc section was sort of difficult (prob cuz I could've prepared more)

The Q2 Polar FRQ screwed me up as always, I HATE POLAR FRQS.

I need this 5.

Hey everyone, I for some reason never received any BC book from my school, so I don't really know what's on the test. My school gave me a calc ab Princeton review from 2020, but I'd like to how how much harder the bc questions are compared to this book.

Also, any tips for MCQs?

Hey guys, incoming freshman here. Can anyone explain me to how the research process at UPenn is like? I know UScholars exists, but I'd like some specific direction on how I'd go about getting a research paper published. My paper will be heavily stats/finance focused, so do you have any recommendations on who I should talk to?
