An Open Letter to the AP Calculus Test
Dear AP Calculus test,
I don't like you. You probably don't like me either. You will try to trip me up by making me know the unit circle and useless theorems. You might make me cube 27 without a calculator. You'll probably make differentiate everything implicitly! I don't like you! But tomorrow, I want you to be my friend. I want us to put aside our differences and just do some nice, friendly calculus. I like calculus. I really do. I'm not even that bad at it! So AP Calculus test, for your sake and mine, let's both be civil tomorrow. Let's both just agree that we may not be friends, but we can still cooperate and get me a 5 so I can make like I'm a math genius and be proud of myself and get college credit. Okay? No tricks, no funny business. Just calculus. Can you do that? I think I can do that. You stress me out, but I'm ready to math you out of your little head if you'll just work with me. I hope you can see where I'm coming from here. Thank you.
Respectfully and cordially,
Catherine
