Calculus of a Single Variable 7ed for Calculus BC?

Test Preparation
1

<p>we are using Calculus of a Single Variable 7ed for AP Calc AB
(book; <a href="http://college.hmco.com/CollegeCatalog/CatalogController?cmd=Portal&subcmd=display&ProductID=678%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://college.hmco.com/CollegeCatalog/CatalogController?cmd=Portal&subcmd=display&ProductID=678&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p>

<p>and i want to selfstudy BC and take BC instead.
is this book cover everything on BC as well??</p>

<p>anyone who did it, how did you guys do this?
pace and everything like that?</p>

<p>I didn't use this book when I took BC last year, but glancing through the Table of Contents on the website, it looks like chapters 8 & 9 cover the extra BC material that AB classes won't cover. If you're self studying for the BC test, you might want to get a</a> book with old FRQ questions and/or ask your teacher for any Calc BC prep materials (old tests?)</p>

<p>in my Calc AB class, we only cover upto ch5 and and few sections on ch6.</p>

<p>(my school has never offered BC, hence no prep materials or whatever.)</p>

4

<p>Yes, it's a good book. Everything on the exam (plus a little more) is covered in the book with good explanations and exercises. I liked the 6th edition, though. It had the multivariable calc included...They took it out for the 7th edition. :(</p>

5

<p>Hmm well, it looks like you'll need to study the entire textbook for the BC exam.</p>

6

<p>It isn't the same as we use for BC but my textbook also covers multivariable material in excess of BC.</p>

7

<p>Yes, this text contains BC material.</p>

8

<p>isnt AP Calc AB = (in college) Calculus I and II ?
AP Calc BC = (in college) Calculus II and III ????</p>

<p>on the back of my calculus text, "Calculus of a Single Variable 7ed", says "Calculus I and II"</p>

<p>again, is anyone in BC use this book???
please confirm me, it covers ALL topic in BC exam.</p>

<p>p.s : also do you guys know how much do i gotta get right in order to get 5 on exam?
(mayber %-wise or out of 108 point.??)</p>

<p>We use an old edition (4th, lol) of that book in BC, but yeah, your book covers everything necessary. Multivariable calc is not required for the BC exam.</p>

<p>Dreaming, the answer is no.</p>

<p>Calculus AB is equivalent to Calculus I, and may possibly go into early transcendentals, which may be covered in Calculus II. However, as a solid rule, it is ABSOLUTELY equivalent in content to Calculus I.</p>

<p>Calculus BC is very much Calculus I and II, but definitely not III because it is still single-variable.</p>
