<p>Hey I'm sorry if this thread has been started before, but I want to know.</p>
<p>Is it possible to take Calc AB at school and take the BC Test? How much more is there to learn?</p>
<p>My Calc AB class at school is very slow, meaning we're reviewing everyone on Math Analysis/Precalculus. I've already jumped ahead and learned the (very) basic concepts of derivitive, integration, and limit due to the math I encountered in AP Physics C.</p>
<p>I have a Princeton Review book for AB/BC and Barron's in AP Physics C. I was thinking to use that book (PR) to help me.</p>
<p>BC has about half a semester more of stuff. I did AB last year (got a 5) and this year we did a new chapter on integration, now we are in series (new also), but next we go back to easy derivatives =). Anyway, I know I wouldn't be able to learn some of the stuff we've learned this eyar from a book, but maybe you can =). Also, the calc we've used in Physics C (I'm also taking that, lol) has been pretty simple stuff so far. There's a lot more to derivatives/integration than what you see in Phy C, obviously since it's calculus. But if your teacher is willing to help you and you want to do it, go for it. I think it might be overwhelming though, but that's just my opinion.</p>
<p>Not too much--just applications (which you should already know), integration techniques, series, and parametric stuff. Plus other random topics. If you'd like to do it I'd suggest learning from a textbook (I recommend Calculus by Stewart or Calculus And Analytic Geometry by Thomas) rather than an AP prep book, just because you'll learn it better that way and if you want to skip out of the college class you'll have better fundamentals. A lot of the material is essential for multivariate or diffeq, so LEARN IT WELL.</p>
