HOW TO: Self-Studying Calculus BC while taking Calc AB

<p>Very ambitious plan… but it sounds like you’re very much on top of things! I don’t have any further suggestions except maybe to consider also using video tutorials (patrickjmt, Khan Academy) for the very challenging topics. As long as you do the work and thoroughly understand most of the past FRQs (they definitely repeat themselves), you’ll do great. Good luck!</p>

<p>Hey!
I took Calc BC and got a 5, but our class didn’t go very in depth in polar coordinates which you said is very important. Should I retake Calc II in college?</p>

<p>Unless you completely forgot everything, I’m sure you’ll be fine skipping Calc 2. Yes, polar/parametric (being able to integrate/take their derivatives) is very important for Calc III; however, I’m sure you can just review the material from a textbook / website instead of retaking an entire semester of Calc 2 again. Just my 2 cents.</p>

<p>Hi Equilibrium, I took Calculus I in a local CC and I am now studying for BC. Your guide is a big help, and thanks for the link to the old MC questions. </p>

<p>I wondering about the difficulty for Logistic Differential Equations though. I understand how the logistic equation works but I can’t solve any word problems that are in my Stewart textbook where I’m given info and then I have to come up with an equation sort of thing. After searching in CC though it seems to me the BC test doesn’t test that, I just need to know the equation and stuff like where the solution curves approach. What do you think?</p>

<p>Thank you SO much for the link for the multiple choice questions-I hadn’t had much luck finding good ones with google. I’m having issues with series-what sites/notes were the most helpful?</p>
