<p>By “sucky”, I mean “barely passed with a C”.</p>
<p>@redisthenewblack You went to Calculus BC when you were barely passing pre-calculus? o.O</p>
<p>Okay, so I want to self-study for the BC exam. AB was really easy and I’ve studied some of BC disconnected through khanacademy, but khanacademy and mitocw don’t seem to have a comprehensive calc BC entire course that covers all the concepts in an orderly fashion. Does anyone know of any free online courses in video or text form (if necessary) that cover everything the way a class would? I don’t need tests and homework, but all of the necessary concepts and any related examples or proofs. Thank you for any help!</p>
<p>MIT OCW and khanacademy covers all of the topics. You need to go to precalculus on khanacademy to learn polar coordinates, parametric functions, and vectors. You’ll learn everything you need to know with those two resources.</p>
<p>I started taking this class online at the beginning of July, so I’m almost done and I plan on finishing before the break. I want to be ready for the test in May but I also want to keep learning more, so what should I do? Would studying out of Spivak/Apostol be a good idea or should I do something else?</p>
<p>Why are the BC free responses so freaking impossible and 30x harder than the AB free responses?</p>
<p>AB FR: herp derp, f’(x) = e^x, f(0) = 3, find f(10)</p>
<p>BC FR: The above is a Taylor series of f about x = -1. Find the sum of the taylor series for g(x) = f(x^2 + 1) about x = -1/2</p>
I really can’t afford to fail our next test, does anyone know of helpful websites with step-by-step explanations or any other material that would work as a study aid?

Hey guys so right now we are on u substitution. I am pretty sure we are behind, but how far behind are we? I will 've taking the BC exam in May.
@kkpanu9
you’re really far behind. If you are where I think you are, your class still has another chapter or possibly two of AB material to cover ad then you actually get into BC material. You might be able to finish everything but you will most certainly not have any time to review.
We’re on alternating series test right now. What prep book to use for this ap? Barron’s, PR, or How to Prepare for AP Calculus?
The best Calculus video series IMO is the actual in-class (HD!) recorded lectures by Professor Leonard on Youtube (the channel is ‘Professor Leonard’. The Calculus 2 section corresponds with BC material.
There is also a free prep course on Coursera called “Preparing for the AP Calculus AB (and BC) Exams” by the University of Houston if anyone is interested. The course just started yesterday and will go on for 8 weeks until exam week.
There is a discussion forum w/ other participants in the course as well!
Go to Coursera dot org and type in this extension in the html: /course/apcalc
Is it useful to memorize the power-reducing formulas for integrals of sine and cosine for the BC test??

Our Calc. B/C class finished all the material last week. Just curious, are any of you guys also finished with the material? Cause apparently now our class will have well over a month to review for this exam, so I’m not even going to study for this
Anyone have any prep book suggestions? We just started series last week…
My class just finished the material last week also and had a test yesterday. Now she said she is going to review the material and give us of bunch of ap practice tests. I recently got, “Cracking the AP Calculus BC Exam, 2015 Edition”. Is that a good book to review from? How hard is this Exam?
How are you guys reviewing for the exam? I’ve honestly been so lost in this class for the past few months, and only getting by through cramming. I remember all of the AB material, but everything BC has just been a blur to me. It doesn’t help that my class still isn’t done (we’re finishing Maclaurin series next week and then we’re done) and that we’re only gonna have about 4 class periods after the our last unit test and before the PA exam.
barely understand polars/parametrics and cant remember all the convergence tests for series… lol its cram time
Does anyone have any advice for cramming the year into two weeks?
