Currently really struggling in Calc 2. I can't do 3 pages of Integrals for Volume of Revolution problems in 1 hour. In order to have enough time I would have to setup each problem perfectly the first time and make no errors in my work at any point. I would also have to not have any doubt on the setup. 

 

If I screw up the setup and computed the integral with the wrong value I simply do not have time to correct the mistake and update my work to show it.

    The time constraint in iteself is the biggest part of the test. They know if you don't know how to do it then you'll never finish

    I don't really see how being able to do the problem in 10min rather than 30min shows any difference in understanding? I have never processed math quickly but I can still do any problem given enough time. 

     

    Also you won't "never finish" if you don't know how to do a problem. You either will show some work to get partial credit, skip it entirely, or get a wrong answer. The test won't somehow never be submitted.

    Took Algebra in high school and passed with a c-, but I wish you good luck all the same!

    I meant you'll never finish and you'll get a zero for the remaining portion of the test instead of partial credit. In my calc class they did the same thing and they didn't allow calculator either. I struggled a bit so I would bank off partial credit but almost all the other remaining kids would finish it in less time that they gave
