Looking to complete Calculus AB and BC in the same year, tips would help.

<p>So, right now I'm looking through the Princeton Review book. Any other books to consider picking up?</p>

2

<p>Just do BC. It has the same material as AB and more.
Oh and mit ocw. google it.</p>

<p>^ DO NOT USE DAVID JERISON. Avoid him like the plague - you’re better off learning from a book (I had a very very very clear understanding of every single damn thing he was explaining, and my understanding dropped noticeable after watching his lectures).</p>

<p>The other calculus guy (Gilbert Strang) was okay (though I only watched his linear algebra lectures; I’m not sure what his calculus lectures covered). I didn’t particularly like him though - I found that things made much more sense after a quick look in a (good) linear algebra book and disregarding a lot of what he said.</p>

<p>(That said, don’t get the wrong idea: MIT OCW can be AMAZING, like Walter Lewin’s physics lectures. It’s just that I don’t recommend it for calculus.)</p>

4

<p>Buy a HS textbook. It’ll cover the material better than a study guide.</p>

5

<p>yeah just do BC. It is not like AB covers anything that BC doesn’t.</p>

<p>in my multivariable class, we used mit ocw as a supplement. We had like an actual textbook but sometimes we use some of the mit ocw material. </p>

<p>Even though I never used it for BC, I recommend it as a supplement but get a high school textbook.</p>

<p>Hey im selfing calculus right now too
i’m getting tips from my brother(Who did this when he was in high school), but really all you really need is a Barron’s book, and other practice problems. Its really easy!</p>

<p>The MIT lectures, and khan academy is good if you want any concepts thoroughly explained.</p>

7

<p>You can’t take the AB and BC exams in the same year.</p>

8

<p>My brother took it when he was in Precal.
And if he’s taking AB, just take the BC exam. You get the sub score in there anyways.</p>

<p>I did this last year and got a 5</p>

<p>But seriously, there are over9000 threads about this already, look them up</p>

<p>the Peterson’s book is amazing - I did nothing in math all year (took BC straight after pre-calc) and read through that book the weekend before and got 5 BC (5 AB) and on the test:</p>
