<p>Anyone taking AP Calc AB, or has questions or responses, feel free to post. I, myself, am taking AP Calculus AB with a somewhat flimsy math background. In the past I've seen a thread which consisted of people posting what topic their class is on, what they are struggling with, and possible guides/resources in the hopes of preparing diligently for the AP exam, as well as performing well in the class. </p>
<p>Currently in my class we are studying limits. Concepts that we have covered so far since the start of school -two Aug 13th- : analyzing limits of functions graphically, evaluating, properties of limits, and limits involving trig functions.</p>
<p>To* not two. Today we covered continuity, 1 sided limits, and greatest integer function.</p>
<p>Well i am taking calc AB this coming up year but i havnt started yet … school starts Aug. 20 so yea ^_^</p>
<p>@Twiggy22 Nice, my second week of school is about to start. We’ve already covered around 89, or so pages in our Calc book.</p>
<p>Update: 8/17 we covered infinite limits, and limit properties. Such properties are: sum/difference, product, and quotient. We discussed one sided limits, and removable/non-removable discontinuities. I personally need to work on memorizing the unit circle values again, as I can’t remember them off the top of my head.</p>
<p>I’m taking it this year but school starts aug 27 for me. I am a little nervous because I am the only sophomore taking it and I took precal over the summer, but the teacher tutored me this summer and thinks I can handle it. Plus the teacher is awesome!</p>
<p>Nice! Well, stay tuned if you need help or anything. I plan on posting Mon-Fri for stuff I did in class. I may ask for help as well. So, we can help one another out if you’d like!</p>
<p>My teacher has been skipping around a lot. He is all over the place. How hard is the exam?</p>
<p>@goldmine I’m not completely sure. It’s being offered for the first time at my school. What are you guys doing?</p>
<p>Are limits not usually done in pre calc? We did limits for like a month last year -_-</p>
<p>My precalc did sorta a preview of calc we didnt study ALL of limits but we did limits and my teacher just told us like we will see in calc lol</p>
<p>and shouldnt this be in the mathematics and computer science thread forum thing … it seems out of place here and we would probally get more responces there :D… Just Sayinn</p>
<p>I was taught an introduction to limits in precal, but teacher said we would go into more detail in Calc. If everyone would like, then I can create this thread on the mathematics an computer science forum.</p>
<p>Any good prep books?</p>
<p>^ yeah whats a good review book? @haphazard, we are doing limits stuff.</p>
<p>My friend who took the ap Calc AB test last year - he got a 5 - used Barron’s. I’d wait a bit till more people start school. Tomorrow will start of the 2nd week of school for me.</p>
<p>tommorw will be the first day of school for me 
… and we shall see what my devil of a calc teacher does
The calc teacher (she teachs AB & BC) is very well known for being a monster she is a very very good teacher but a teacher tht gives a hell of a lot of work</p>
<p>Twiggy, you’re better off than me. It’s my teacher’s first time teaching ap Calc. I’m just a bit worried. Her grading is crazy too. 90% = tests! 5% = h.w.</p>
<p>Ah! :\ we have a test Wednesday over everything on limits. I’m just a bit nervous. It seems simple, but I don’t want to over complicate things, as I usually do that and bomb math tests.</p>
<p>Hey guys, I need his with solving w/ conjugates! any tips or good videos?</p>
<p>Hey Goldmind, if you don’t mind, then I can help you out in a bit. I can help you in an hour and half, because I’m going to finish up other homework/look over SAT stuff. I have Calc homework to do, which I want to save for the end.</p>
