Has anyone taken AP Calc AB on FLVS?

<p>Preferably FLVS but if you have taken it on some other virtual site, I'd like your input as well. </p>

<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>And my current teacher has approved of it, and she thinks that I will be able to complete the course over the summer. </p>

<p>I took AP calc AB at school but took bc online. The course is pretty similar to what you would have to do in school and doesn’t overload you with a lot of bs material. You might see some weird notation, for me it was actually working with summation when its not on the AP. It’s pretty doable in three months. dedicate one month to 3 weeks to limits and 5 weeks each to derivatives and integration. My biggest piece of advice is that if you do the course then buy a fifth edition of Stewart’s calculus Early Transcendentals (much better than the textbook they give you) and then use MIT open courseware lectures and tests to give you a good ground in calculus.</p>

<p>Thanks Jimmy! This was very helpful. I think I’ll go for it and take the course. </p>
