<p>So I'm taking AP Calc AB next year, I know piece of cake for many of you, but I really suck at math. >.< I'm buying Peterson's AP Calc to prep over the summer...any other suggestions for me to get a decent grade in AP Calc next year?</p>
<p>Thanks~!</p>
<p>Cliff's AP Calculus, and Barrons, you're set for a 5.</p>
<p>I am taking Calc AB next year. But I will take both the AB and BC exam in may. Which book/books do you recommend to self-study both these exams over this summer to get a 5 on the AP exam?</p>
<p>If you're studying both, PR's book covers AB and BC pretty well in one book...I'm not particularly fond of their practice tests, however. I'd use a second book, such as Barrons or Cliff's, as suggested by Gumball, especially for practice tests. Also, make sure you check out released FRQ and MC for practice.</p>
<p>You can't take both the AB and BC tests in the same year.</p>
<p>Yea, you can take the B/C though, about 50% of it is the same as the A/B exam because some of the material overlaps. Anyway, calc isn't that hard if you have a good teacher and keep up with your work. Good luck</p>
<p>Are you serious? Where does it say you cant take AB and BC in the same year?</p>
<p>u just can't</p>
<p>besides if you take bc, you get an ab subscore</p>
<p>I took regular calculus this year, as my school doen't have the resources to offer an AP class.</p>
<p>We did have a student transfer here mid-year who was taking AP Calc in Texas, and he was way behind us.</p>
<p>Go figure</p>
<p>It's impossible to take AB and BC in one year since they are at the same time and since some of the BC test has AB questions. </p>
<p>As for prep books all I can suggest is to not use Princeton Review at all. It is a horrible book. Use Barrons.</p>
<p>I really liked the Princeton Review Calc book. What did you think was so bad about it?</p>
