Help with Calc BC?

<p>If you don't want to read the whole thing, skip to the last question :)</p>

<p>I've always been a little iffy in the math department...getting low scores on one test and then 100% on the next, while studying just as hard for every test (sometimes even acing the ones on the hardest material, while getting a B or C on the easiest quiz). Somehow, I've managed to always bring my math grade up to an A or A- every semester. This year (I'm a junior), I'm taking Calc BC. I feel like I'm understanding the homework as well (maybe better) than I usually do and I'm studying the same amount, but I'm doing even worse on tests than usual (Cs and Bs instead of As and Bs).</p>

<p>Anyone have any tricks for how they studied and did well in Calc BC? How can I improve?</p>

<p>THANKS!</p>

<p>Only do homework when you feel like it. Exploit grade inflation. Get as many bonus points as possible. Guaranteed 100+ average.</p>

<p>OP might not go to a school where the teacher gives extra credit</p>

<p>No extra credit, grades are just tests, quizzes, homework, and finals. Homework is only 5% of the grade though, so it doesn’t really affect it (I wish it was worth more, I always have 100% in homework). I’m really just wondering about study tips/things people did to make calculus easier to understand and ways they made sure not to make mistakes.</p>
