AP self study help

<p>Hi, guys I need help :(. Im a esol student and my high school has only led me to be 3 years in their school. Im a senior and Im taking pre cal Honors and Physics Honors and I wanted to take an AP class in order to take the AP EXAm and get college credit and save sum money cuz im poor :(. So, do you guys think If I study independently those courses can I get at least a 4 in the AP EXAM in May. If so, what textbooks should I use to study PHYSICS AP C and CALCULUS AP AB independently? please, be honest :)</p>

<p>Be honest? Practice and spend more time on ESL instead. Some of that English is a little rough.</p>

<p>Dun be hating, u see i speak spanish, and english is almost the same **** if u know latin. I independently studied for american history AP and took the ap exam , got a five. dun worry about the language. Im just asking for good textbooks to study for those AP exams.</p>

<p>All I'm saying is that if I were an adcom saw the homophone and verb errors on your application, I'd reject it regardless of your independent studies.</p>

<p>Don't you understand? I already got accepted and all I want is oppinions about good textbooks that have actually worked for students who studied independently for those AP EXAMS. I don't want my inpendent studies to be a part of my resume I just want to save some money in college. But damn out of all the people who can reply it had to be a ****er like you. Just answer the question about the textbooks damnnnnn!!!!!</p>

<p>Ever heard of google or yahoo...apparently a lot of CCers don't know how to use it.</p>

<p>I have already used it, i have already asked many people even my teacher, all i wanted is opinions from this forums. unfortunately........... whatever jejejeje xD</p>

<p>Physics: Physics for scientist and engineers, this is the most common college text imo and is very detailed. The version by Tipler, although it is expensive. Basically Tipler does all his physics books calculus based. Knight also does, but I dont know much about the book.</p>

<p>Calculus AB - you can pretty much just use the Princeton Review book. You dont need a newer edition, anything past 2002 will work. I have a new one and my brothers 2 year old one, and keep one at home to do the hw, because they are almost identical. I dont have a tb to recommend.</p>

<p>You can always go and ask your physics/calc teachers if you can borrow a book. I asked my physics teacher and he gave me one. Now I read that one and the class tb and it works well because I get high on the tests.</p>

<p>Also, check out your local library because people donate text books to there, and thats how I got a few books. One of them is a calc tb but it is not that good so I dont want to recommend it.</p>

<p>woah thanks a lot , really appreciate it</p>

<p>platoon, there wasnt anything wrong grammatically with that post, logisticswizard was just being an ******* cause he doesnt know what it's like to be forced to learn a second language from scratch all of a sudden.</p>

<p>damn rite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>There were grammar mistakes. </p>

<p>Hi, guys I need help . Im a esol student and my high school has only led me to be 3 years in their school. Im a senior and Im taking pre cal Honors and Physics Honors and I wanted to take an AP class in order to take the AP EXAm and get college credit and save sum (WRONG HOMOPHONE--USE SOME) money cuz (NOT A WORD) im (I'm) poor . So, do you guys think If (lower case) I study independently those courses(, I can) can I get at least a 4 in the AP EXAM in May. If so, what textbooks should I use to study PHYSICS AP C and CALCULUS AP AB independently? please, be honest </p>

<p>I know some of the corrections were just for ways people talk online, but there were still other errors.</p>

<p>Plus the damn rite doesn't hurt my case either.</p>

<p>they are not mistakes thats the way I write on the internet. Besides, the way I write on the internet is obviously not the same way I write papers for school. hehehehehe XD</p>

<p>Saving money for college credit... it's a lot more difficult to self-study anything technical over English and history - especially since you are learning your calculus in conjunction with a calculus-based course. </p>

<p>First, I suggest you look over the AP policies at your ideal college and see whether or not these type of credits would transfer over. For instance, at some institutions, you need both AB and BC credit to receive any for calculus. The same goes for physics in terms of B and C. </p>

<p>After that, figure out a more doable plan that makes sense in regards to credit policies.</p>

<p>I'll take that into account thanks</p>

<p>I bet you'll end up taking them courses again in college. I am taking Calc and Chem, but I am gonna take 'em in college to brush up anyhow. I shall use my stupid AP US and Govt. credits to skip those classes tho.</p>

<p>Why are u takin em again? I mean did you take those courses on high school Ap calculus and chem?</p>

<p>I will take em again in college ( I am taking Calc and Chem now) so that I can have a higher GPA</p>

<p>...you've posted this thread on Jan-28-06</p>

<p>Don't you feel its slightly too late to start an independant study on calculus? it is a very easy course if you enjoy math but the fact that you're taking precalc in your senior doesnt really show you're much of a math enthusiast... well, good luck!!!</p>
