<p>I am taking calculus bc right now. i want to review my calculus ab stuff. </p>
<p>should i prepare by doing the homework problems again since i have mid winter break and i dont have anything to do except prepare for ap exams. </p>
<p>so should i start reviewing from the textbook because some concepts i dont get from AB and am not very clear or should i use a review book so that i can expect on the ap test.</p>
<p>Bump..............</p>
<p>In BC you shouldn't have to review too much integration or differentiation because you should be doing some constantly in almost every chapter except maybe series. </p>
<p>I would go to the Collegeboard Calc AB page and practice with the free responses from previous years. You probably won't have to review much except volumes or revolutions, implicit differentiation, rieman sums, and related rates.</p>
<p>Well you shouldn't really need to refresh up on anything because most of the stuff in BC calculus is built on AB calculus material and should be second nature. But if you really want to brush up your AB stuff, I would suggest you to study this stuff:
-Fundamental Theorem of calculus
-Velocity, displacement, acceleration type problems
-Volume, Area (Study Washer Method, Cylindrical Shells, etc)
-differentiation/integration techniques are a must (though u might get away with not knowing integration by parts or partial fractions)
-related rates/rate of change problems
-differentiation equations (simple 1st order ones/slope fields)</p>
<p>Our teacher pretty much made us do decades of AB FR's (I'm in BC but we just got started with BC topics) and I can tell you there are few questions that can be considered of an "abnormal" difficulty level. </p>
<p>Like cp3 mentioned, there will (almost) always be a volume/area and a displacement/velocity/acc. question. Expect a question on finding max/min (basically analyzing the attributes of a function). After that comes related rates and FTC. Finally, I would say that implicit differentiation is tested just about as much as differential equations.</p>
