<p>I'm planning on taking the course on FLVS over the summer. I will be able to start May 25-ish and must finish by August 25-ish, giving me a solid 3 months to complete.
my background: I've done well in all of my math courses so far. I rarely study and get 100s easily. I have taken alg II on flvs before, so I know how the system works and all that (so that won't be an issue for me). I am taking aice math at school right now (I think it's an AS level math course). It consists of trig, pre-calc, and calc concepts. My averages are typically 99-100+% in the class, and I think I've only seriously studied 4 times this year? I know that I will have to dedicate a lot of time for this, but I have experience with taking full year couses over the summer (I have finished a full year course on flvs in 2 months before), and I am very dedicated when it comes to math.
The only thing holding me back is that some of my friends taking the class at school right now are saying that it is the hardest class they have ever taken, and they struggle to get a B.
If you have taken AP Calc AB at school or on FLVS (preferably), how was the course? Difficult? Mediocre? Easy? Was it mainly proofs? Easy to understand? Hard to grasp? Please give me some input. Thanks.</p>
<p>I have yet to take AB but my brother had no trouble taking the class at all. He said there were plenty of proof to do but they were pretty fun. Of course, if you are a math/science enthusiast like my brother, you will most likely be fine.
One problem I has with FLVS is that even if you takes AP classes over the summer, you have to wait until next May in order to do the exam. If you do not review carefully, you will forget a lot of stuff.</p>
