<p>Can someone who has only taken CP1 pre-calc and topics in calculus take the AP test in BC (no reason to take AB if BC has an AB sub-score) and perform well? I think I could do it. I was in ALG2H and I am in AP Stat, but I wasn't allowed AP calc or Precalc H due to a C- in Alg 2 H in a year where I had family issues. If I performed up to my ability, I could have taken AP calc... I know it's hard to read but its 5 AM... Is it possible?</p>
<p>One more thing. 740 on Math IIC SAT II if that counts for anything.</p>
<p>What does "topics in calculus" cover?</p>
<p>If it covers derivatives, integrals, Reimann sums, euler's method, some taylor series, and a brief intro to differential equations, you should be able to handle the AP Calculus BC exam</p>
<p>So far? It has only been derivatives and related rates... But I do work on my own, and I know about integrals. Are the rest something I can teach myself over the next 3 months?</p>
<p>Oh wow, thank you SO much for the link!</p>
<p>Today I arranged with the AP Calc AB teacher to sit in on the AB course during my lunch period from now leading up to the AP exam. I think I may also do the extra 2.5 chapters and perhaps attempt the BC exam because even if I perform badly on the BC part, there is an AB subscore in which I could receive credit for. Is this a good approach?</p>
<p>Yes. You have plenty of time...</p>
