Hey Everyone!
I think this thread should be dedicated to our last minute problems for the pcat! I will start with mine!! I just have a few questions, for people who have already taken the pcat, about the math part:

Are there a lot of questions on
domain/range
(-i^2)
e & ln
sin & cos
horizontal & vertical asymptotes
percentages
conversions
area under the curve
derivatives
local min & max

I really need all the help I can get, this section is one of my weaker areas! Also any advice that you have will be great. Thanks 🙂
 
domain/range


not that I dont think but rest is yes. And when I say yes it doesn't mean oh yes find the derivative of 2x^4, they're gonna give you a really complicated problem. I don't know if sin/cos are on there but I remember that might of been problem using those.
 
There isn't really too much stuff on calculus. On the Harcourt practice tests I saw maybe 1 question out of 48 that's on calculus and they weren't particularly difficult (they were like x^(n+1)/(n+1) type antiderivative questions).

But for the other stuff you named, yes, there's a huge chunk of questions on those. Concentrate on studying for precalc.
