<p>My school only offers an AB Calculus BC class, and I wish to take the BC test. Has anyone self studied BC along with an AB class? I am not sure exactly what the best way of going about this yet. Do you need to know a majority of AB concepts to begin learning the BC concepts (parametric functions, polar coordinates, Taylor Series, etc.)? After half a year of AB could I begin self studying BC? If not, will I have to learn the AB material ahead and THEN start on the BC material? Can anyone who has done this give me some advice on what worked for them?</p>
