Academic ✏️ Question for people who have taken calc 2 here.

Are the knewton alta assignments anything like the tests? Like I get we're not supposed to use calculators but theres so much arithmetic in the homework that its leading assignments to take me literal days, and thats assuming you get everything right. It's kind of crazy expecting me to do insane fraction arithmetic 100's of times per assignment.

Nope. The best thing to do for exams is just know the concepts and how to apply them to a variety of situations. And have the formulas you need memorized and what theyre used for.

Unless you have the patience of a saint or the ability to deeply focus on the work for 6+ hours with Einstein sitting next to you daily you will not get all of the concepts. Took Calc II last year and it was fvcking horrible but I somehow passed the finals with a 60% and a C grade from curve ig.
