Anyone who has taken Calc BC or AP Chemistry -- Please read!!

<p>Hello, thank you so much for clicking on this.. I'll try to keep this very short</p>

<p>I am going from REGULAR precalculus and REGULAR chemistry I, to AP Calc BC and AP Chemistry. </p>

<p>Obviously this will be a rough assimilation to make, so I am planning to study over the summer.</p>

<p>Now, here's where you come in.. I need your opinion on the BEST way to prepare for these classes, whether it be auditing a class at a community college, or simply studying a Calc or Chem book at barnes and noble..</p>

<p>I will patiently await your replies, thank you so much for your time.</p>

<p>Now, my counselor and assistant principal flipped out on me when I asked if I can skip AB and go into BC next year… Any ways, I know plenty of people that skipped regular chem and went straight to AP Chem, I believe you will be fine. Now, I say save your money and go to iTunesU and get the MIT Calculus lectures and treat it like a real class.</p>

<p>thanks so much david i will definitely check that out… it sounds really helpful :)</p>

<p>Just to clarify david, Calc BC is “Single Variable Calculus by Prof. David Jerison” right? Just wanna make sure I dont study the wrong stuff haha… thank you for your help again</p>

<p>AP Chem - read Zundahl’s</p>

<p>AP Calc BC - read Larson’s Calculus of A Single Variable</p>

<p>Yes the Single Variable one by Mr. David Jerison.</p>

<p>thanks for the book ideas SchieffenPlan! I’ve already downloaded all the MIT videos, I can tell they’re gonna be really helpful, although I would like to supplement them with workbooks.</p>

<p>Does anyone else have any book recommendations? Or are schieffenPlans books fine? I appreciate any and all thoughts. thank you</p>

<p>At my school we don’t have a choice but to go from precalc to Calc BC, lol. Anyway I don’t know about books but if you are ever confused on a certain topic during the year (or even before), Patrick GMT on youtube has great videos and I learned tons from him, it was a great supplement to our classroom instruction.</p>

<p>I checked out Patrick JMT, he seems pretty helpful. thankyou :)</p>

<p>any other advice on books for ap chem and calc bc?</p>

<p>I would advise community college courses to prepare for AP Chem, but if not, then KhanAcademy’s website has many videos/lessons on Chem topics, so it’s always worth the time to check it out.</p>

<p>yea i was considering maybe auditing a chemistry class at a community college, but is it really worth all the time and money? Could I just get the Princeton review for chemistry and just try to learn all of it?</p>
