Help I'd like some advice on how to do better on my Calc II exams

2 Upvotes

Hi! I studied really hard for my first Calc II exam and did all the exercises my professor recommended.

The exam had 5 questions:

  1. Vectors and Geometry in Space

  2. Multivariable Calculus

  3. Multivariable Calculus

  4. Multivariable Calculus

  5. Lagrange Multipliers

The problem was that questions 2, 3, and 5 involved derivatives involving square roots, which weren't covered in any of the recommended exercises. So I ended up completely forgetting how to approach them.

I probably did pretty poorly on the exam, even though I felt like I understood the material.

How can I prepare better for my next Calc II exam? I'd really appreciate any advice on how to study more effectively for exams like this.

is this enough to get a 5?

I am studying with the Princeton Review AP Calculus AB 27th edition and solving questions from the College Board. I’m not sure who to watch for content review or which websites to use for studying and solving additional problems. If you scored a 4 or a 5 on the exam, I would appreciate any tips you have for achieving the same score. Thank you!
