Meet 2 students who earned perfect score on AP calculus exam

In this edition of “CBS This Morning’s” Pushing the Limits series, we met two high school students who not only conquered calculus, but also pulled off an achievement that can stump college professors. Of more than 302,000 students around the world who took the Advanced Placement calculus test last year, Landon Labuske and Cedrick Argueta were two of only 12 who achieved a perfect score. Chip Reid reports.

Remmark Sunga regardless if it was their "fault", because maybe they had a bad teacher or they just had an extremely difficult time understanding calculus, they're commending the students for doing so well. They're recognizing the difficulty of the class and how much the students had to know in order to get a perfect score. Calculus isn't for everyone, it definitely wasn't for me and I had a very hard time in the class as well, so seeing these kids excel is great.

[@KillerRem]

Abbi no it is their "fault" if they believe their chances are slim because they did not prepare themselves if you want to pass than don't use terrible teachers as an excuse but as a handicap you have to go with, if you really want to succeed than just study and KZbin has tons of teachers and professors who posted videos for Calculus, so you can always learn from them, if you have a bad teacher than you have to suck it up so you can pass the class

[@aaryadeshpande1621]

4:16 Solution Guide 4 • 4 = 15(?) Let the unknown value = x. Then 4 • 4 = 15x. We are asked to find the the value x such that 15x = 4 • 4 = 16. To find the unknown value, let us begin by isolating x as follows: 15x = 16 divide both sides by 15 x = 16/15 To verify our solution, we plug the value of x back in to the equation to find that 4 • 4 = 16 = 15(16/15) = 16. Notice that that 15 cancels out with the denominator to leave us with 16, thus, 16 = 16 is true and x = 16/15 is the solution to the equation.

[@ThaliaIrwin]

Except not really... as someone who took calculus in a very good school district with an amazing calculus teacher, no one in my school has ever gotten a perfect score, not even a kid who was so good at math he took AP physics B in 5th grade (which was really 4th grade bc he skipped a grade) I have a great math teacher, and 50% of her students who take the BC exams get 5s. Getting a 5 is not the same as a perfect score. To get a five, you have to get around a 70% on the test (depending on the year) To get a perfect score, you'd have to move really really fast, and while moving fast, not make any little errors, in addition to knowing all the concepts extremely well. It's very impressive to get a perfect score. Have you taken AP calculus? It takes a hell of a lot of studying to memorize everything you need to know. If all children had access to these resources, they'd have more people getting 5s but not significantly more people getting the coveted 108/108.

[@wayneenterprise463]

Take into consideration things like private tutoring, parent income, stress in the household, food security. These factors affect score as well. Often, there is a huge correlation between standardize test score and income of the household when we look at SAT and ACT scores. Based on the normal distribution, students from higher income household outperform lower income household. Standardized testing is designed to measure matriculants analysis, critical thinking, reasoning skills, serving as a form of measurement but the contestant are not even starting from the same start line. So do not let these exam score be the measurer of success for our students!
