Self-Study AP Calc BC in 1 month???

<p>I'm already familiar with AB but do you think the BC part is doable in 1 month? I hear 60% of BC is AB material.. does anyone know what percentage you need to get on Calc BC to get a 5?4?3?</p>

<p>BC is (for me) quite easy. Learn some more integration rules, learn the Taylor series (and MacLaurin, but that's part of Taylor), learn the basic rules for sequences and series, learn parametrics and such, and I'm pretty sure you'll be fine. We are nearly done with BC (like 10-15 school days left?) and started it the first week of February (block scheduling and we have to finish by May 3rd or whenever and we will lose 7-8 days for spring break next week+week after). I'm sure you could go a bit faster if you tried and had a math teacher to help you. </p>

<p>By the way, 60% on any AP test = a 5, isn't it?</p>

<p>If you have your AB down, it's totally doable.. BC doesn't have too many individual topics, so just get a study book or something and focus on the things Annie said.. integ. by parts, partial fractions, trig substitutions, power series, eulers method, etc.</p>

<p>wat book would u suggest</p>

<p>peterson's</p>

<p>Peterson's. that's what i'm using. it is an updated version of the arco book. the first bc practice exam multiple choice is almost the same as the 1998 ap calculus multiple choice</p>

<p>Are trig substitutions even on the AP test?</p>

<p>I'm like 99% sure there's no trig substitution on the AP exam.</p>

<p>No, 60% will only get you by most of the mathematics exams (I think). For stuff like English Lang. and Comp. it'll take more around 75%.</p>
