quant section

Is trig functions on the pcats? For example, derivatives and antiderivatives of trig functions.

Also, are there a lot of application of deriv, limits, antideriv, etc??

There are certainly a few (I had some). I was weak on those as well. For me and a lot of folks I know, the quant was drastically harder than anything else on the test, asking some things I hadn't even heard of in all my classes. Do your best, but don't forget to fill in an answer for everything even if it's random chance. 🙂

There will be more applications of precalculus stuff rather than calculus. The most difficult type of antiderivative/integration for trig you'll see are y=sin x and y=cos x types.

thanks!

Will there be anything related to csc x, sec x, and cot x? And trig identities (such as sin 2x = 2 sinxcosx)? It is quite an effort trying to memorize all the trig identities!

What saved me in trigonometry class was memorizing the trig circle from 0 degrees to 90 degrees (30, 45, 60). If you know that and some other basic rules, then you can figure out the rest!
