<p>I'm trying to self study Calculus BC; I've taken geometry, trig, and I'm in precalculus right now. Just wondering, is it possible that I can study for it using just online resources and a test prep book? I do have the Stewart textbook but if possible I would want to stay away from having to read the textbook since it's a lot more tedious and time consuming but again if the textbook is a must I'll read it</p>
<p>You don’t need a textbook…if you were taking a calculus class you probably wouldn’t be reading the textbook verbatim all the time, though it has more information than most videos. Khan Academy doesn’t cover all the topics you need to know, btw.</p>
<p>If you’re a math genius, yes. If not, no way.</p>
<p>I dunno, I always thought learning from videos/prep books was a lot easier than learning from a textbook.</p>
<p>You need to do problems to get good at math.</p>
<p>yea that’s what I was planning to do, prep book + lots of prep and i’d go online for help when I get stuck
what are the best resources for Calc BC self study anyways?
and what are some good sources of lots and lots of practice problems (whether it’s online or in a workbook/review book. I heard the Preparing for the AP Calculus Examination-BC by Lux and Best ([Preparing</a> for the Ap Calculus Examination-Bc: George Best, Richard Lux: 9781886018167: Amazon.com: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Preparing-Calculus-Examination-Bc-George-Best/dp/1886018162]Preparing”>http://www.amazon.com/Preparing-Calculus-Examination-Bc-George-Best/dp/1886018162)) was really good. Is that true? Are there more good resources?</p>
<p>I’m kind of good at math…? wouldn’t call myself a genius though</p>
<p>Or you could just learn calc, Aops calc book.</p>
