<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I am a sophomore taking AP Calc. AB right now, and I got my grade up from an F to a C by the end of the quarter. Right now, it is the second quarter ( The second half of AB, not yet BC), and I currently have an F. But, I think that I will be able to bring it up to a C. The thing is, I want my semester grade to be a B, and in order to make that happen, I need at least an 89% this quarter. My questions to you are;</p>
<p>1.) Where should I start to look for help? As in what websites should I use, and what other resources could I use to get that A, so that my semester grade averages out to be a "B"</p>
<p>2.) How will a C look on my high school transcript? I already got a C in Honors Pre-Calculus, and I don't want to get another one in any class ever again. How are my chances affected for universities like UNC- Chapel Hill, NC State, and UNCW?</p>

<p>1) I took AB as a freshman and BC as a sophomore. As for help, I would recommend buying the prep books from Barrons and/or Princeton Review. I also found sparknotes and khan academy videos to be pretty helpful.
2) Don’t worry about the C you got in precalc - there’s nothing you can do to change it now. However it will look good if you go from having a C in precalc to a B in AP calc :)</p>
<p>I’m also a sophomore taking AB/BC Calc! And I assume you live in NC because of the universities you listed, and I do too, hahah. </p>
<p>I’ve found slader a very good website for checking answers for homework problems. Sometimes it includes explanations as well, so that’s a plus. I’m not sure which book you guys are using but if it’s the same one I am, Larson’s, you can find explanations for all odd questions on CalcChat. Khan academy doesn’t follow my school’s curriculum very well, but it can be useful for specific areas. Also, try watching PatrickJMT videos on youtube if you need examples of how to do stuff.</p>
<p>If you get a B in AP Calc, that will definitely look better!</p>
