In your senior year, you’ll take the APs in May and college will start in late August. So there is that almost four month gap. So you’ll need to review the content again in college before taking any advanced classes.
Since you’re going to review it anyway, why not take BC in junior year? If you prefer the four month gap as apposed to the 16 month gap, then you can take BC in senior year. It all depends on what you’re comfortable with.
@mundanewarrior My class has just finished volumes of revolutions with disks and washers and we’re also moving onto review when we come back from Spring Break
@mundanewarrior, I just finished series in Calc BC. My teacher teaches it very well (at least for me), so it was’t overly difficult, but it does take some time to sink in. I can elaborate if you have specific questions
@Mathophile26 Now that the admissions cycle is over (got rejected from Brown, lol), I’m going to start prepping for Calc BC today. I’ll use Barron’s. I’ll post any questions on this thread. Thanks for the help. You’re nice.
We just finished series so are done with the material now too. Does anyone have any suggestions on good review videos? I find they usually help me more than review books do, but am also slowly working my way thru Barrons.
@helloevery, AP Calc AB is definitely not just trigonometry and PreCalculus. You need to know derivatives, antiderivatives, limits, etc., which are only taught in AP Calc.
Does anyone here know how to enter an open interval in TI-84 Plus equation solver?
For instance, I wanted to solve x cos x + sin x = 0 in the open interval (0, π). Entering {0, 180} gives x = 0 as the solution, whereas the actual solution is x = 2.029 rad.
Substituting the curly braces with round brackets gives an error. For now, I’ve been able to get the answer by entering {0.001, 179.999} but I don’t think that’s the best way.
Guys, I finished series today. It’s a lot of work (Taylor polynomials, error bounds, and the like). Does anyone know whether I can get a 5 without mastering series?
@mundanewarrior, well, there is always an FRQ on series, so you would lose 9 free response points. But based on the 3 practice tests I’ve taken already, I’ve only seen around 5-10 series MC, so you could theoretically still get a 5 - but your knowledge of everything else will need to be solid.
