<p>any suggestions?</p>
<p>Here's how I am doing it:
1. It helps to know a little calculus beforehand. I came into AB knowing limits and how to do most derivatives.
2. If number one doesn't apply, then stick with your AB class and learn the stuff until they finish integrals and apps. of integrals or until you have about 3 months before the AP exam.
3. Then go ahead. Study integral word problems and hard derivatives/integrals. Study improper integrals and indeterminate forms of limits and stuff. Then go on to Sequences/Series, and then finally, do the Parametric/Vector/Polar stuff if you've got time. Really, I feel the most important thing in BC is to have everything in AB absolutely nailed,and then just get what you can learn in the extra BC topics. Study your related rates and your word problems. Like if you get an AB homework assignment, go to the page and go to the very end problems (the Thinking Critically or "hairy word problem" problems.) Hope I've helped!</p>
<p>thanks dude, that seems like good plan.</p>
<p>Remember that AB is nothing more than a subset of BC.</p>
<p>I suggest going to collegeboard and downloading the sample syllabus. It will tell you what extra material to study for.</p>
<p>Most likely the extra material is in your current textbook.</p>
<p>Simply work a bit harder. If you want to take the BC test, take it!</p>
<p>Anyone know the scale from last years BC Exam (ie how many right needed to get a 5)?</p>
<p>u also need to know series-which means having a really good understanding of limits, and a decent understanding of riemanns sums. So far that has been almost my entire calc bc class.</p>
<p>I'm not sure haithman but I think it was pretty weak. Something around 70% for a 5?</p>
<p>yeah i thought it was around there. awesome thanks</p>
<p>Does the AB component of the ap bc test the same concepts as the AB test?</p>

<p>Don't focus on the "scales." It adds unnecessary worry.</p>
<p>it's actually closer to 60% right</p>
<p>wow. that almost seems too cakewalkish</p>
