AP Calculus AB thread

<p>Just starting a thread on AP Calculus AB. Any suggestions, tips, comments? Just post whatever.</p>

<p>copier noob. jk. I’m also taking that this year too. Shouldn’t be too hard.</p>

<p>Lol I copied your post word for word, except for the subject, of course. My class is insanely easy so far. We’re almost done with Limits, so it should get substantially harder, but I’m thinking it’ll be a pretty easy class.</p>

<p>AB has only 3 main topics, which isn’t even half of what is learned in Geometry. Did you really expect it to be rocket science?</p>

<p>wait, did you even see mine before you wrote yours?</p>

<p>^^ No, I didn’t expect it to be hard in the first place. However, saying AB only has 3 main topics is a little misleading. It’s not the amount of topics studied, but the depth and rigor. Obviously, AP Calculus, whether AB or BC, is astronomically harder than Geometry. </p>

<p>^Ya, I copied and pasted it. :-)</p>

<p>i’m probably gonna do BC this year</p>

<p>Self-study BC while taking AB?</p>

<p>AP Calculus, especially AB, is a joke. I self-studied it in 3 months (5-8 hours per week) and got a 5.</p>

<ol>
<li>Know you different types of limits</li>
<li>Memorize integration and differentiation formulas</li>
<li>Memorize how to do the different types of related rates problems</li>
<li>Memorize the formulas for solids of revolution and cross sections</li>
<li>Practice free response questions from past tests</li>
</ol>

<p>If you do these 5, you will get a 5.</p>

<p>From what I heard and understand so far, BC is more conceptual and is slightly harder, but the difference shouldn’t be huge.</p>

<p>^^ yeah
^thanks</p>
