<p>I'm in AP Calc BC this year, we don't even have AB at our school. We have to sign up for testing soon, and I'm not sure whether to take the AB or BC exam. The college I'm going to doesn't accept the AB subscore, but I would obviously get more credit for BC. I'm just really hesitant about being able to get a 4 on BC, I'm not terrible at math, I got a B+ last semester, but sometimes I feel like I barely understand the stuff, and I can pretty much forget about remembering it a few months from now.</p>
<p>Any advice on which to pick?</p>
<p>I would take BC, it’s not that bad. Just get a prep book now (Princeton review is good) and start getting used to the way they ask the questions.</p>
<p>you could also take a practice AB test since you’ve covered that material already. If you remember most of the stuff, then you can just work on the BC stuff and take BC.</p>
<p>Try to relearn some of the BC topics that confuse you (short ones like parametrics; you’ll probably have to take a final for the class anyway, right?). If you’re still confused, take the AB test to be safe.</p>

This has almost all of things you need to know, but not the explanations. I think it’ll help you figure out what you have to work on.</p>
<p>Here are some websites with really good explanations:

[Visual</a> Calculus](<a href=“http://archives.math.utk.edu/visual.calculus/index.html]Visual”>http://archives.math.utk.edu/visual.calculus/index.html) <–This one has helped me a lot. Their “discussions” explain how the formulas and stuff are derived. A lot of them have pictures if you’re a visual learner (I am).</p>
