<p>I'm very familiar with the concepts behind Calculus, as I understand it all, I just don't know it all.</p>
<p>Since I am self studying using Princeton Review, do you think PR is all I need to get a 5?</p>
<p>If you have a good understanding of calculus and you study from the book, you should get a 4. You may get a 5 depending on how smart you are. If you have doubts about whether you can get a 5, study more using different books or perhaps tutoring. You may even be able to sign up for any online course. Why aren’t you taking the class at school?</p>
<p>Peterson’s is better in my opinion</p>
<p>The math curriculum in our school sucks.</p>
<p>It’s like 4 years of precalculus before Calculus, and because they screwed me over in middle school, I have to take all 4 years in high school… meaning no Calculus.</p>
<p>So I’m just going to self-study AB this year, and BC next year.</p>

<p>[Amazon.com:</a> (Peterson’s Ap Calculus): Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=+(Peterson’s+Ap+Calculus)&x=0&y=0]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=+(Peterson’s+Ap+Calculus)&x=0&y=0)
Which one?</p>
<p>Also, why do you think Peterson’s is better? There seems to be a conception that PR is the best for AP Calc.</p>
<p>The smartest thing in your situation is to do a tons of previous AP free response questions from college board and compare your answers to their scoring guidelines.</p>
<p>i took a class last year so it was different for me, but I basically did all of the collegeboard free response(they were homework) and began to analyze patterns and made sure I knew how to do all sorts of problems. This along with practice tests and memorizing derivative and anti derivative formulas, I was able to get a score of 5.</p>
<p>Indianjatt, did you guys use any free response questions from before 2002? That’s all they have on college board.com (2002-present.)</p>
<p>I don’t think so. We actually used 2002- 2008 (only form A).</p>
<p>just use pr. pr is actually good for like every ap subjects</p>
<p>I highly recommend self-studying Calculus AB.
I did it as a freshman this year and took the AP exam and feel that I will get a 5.
Also, Princeton Review is ALL you need to get a 5.
That is all I did and was very successful with it.</p>
