Self-Studying BC

<p>I'm set to take AP Calc BC my senior year, but I may end up taking AB because of scheduling conflicts. My school is notoriously known for having bad calculus teachers, so how difficult would it be to basically self-study the BC test while being in an AB class with an incompetent teacher?</p>

<p>This website can help you: Visual</a> Calculus - It explains everything in details, and if you still don't understand it, you can repeat it again and again. It doesn't replace a teacher, I know, but since your teacher is incompetent, it's a leg up because the program knows what it is talking about.</p>

<p>As for the self-studying, though, just ensure you know how to apply derivatives and integrals, as they are on the Free-Response Questions. You can do fine on the exam if you practice each day and know everything that is mentioned in the Calculus BC syllabus.</p>

<p>i don't think it should be too hard..i took ab last year, and i am going to self-study bc this year..in bc, there are a few additional concepts added on to ab..and i know that some of the concepts can be kind of tough..but you can probably get some help during the year if you are already in a calc class..i am definetly going to be asking my math teacher questions..</p>

<p>There was already this exact topic a page back.</p>

<p>The irony is that that thread links another thread that was posted even earlier.</p>

<p>Online</a> Calculus Book & Video Lectures</p>

<p>I used this and in four months I went from no calculus knowledge to enough to take the BC exam</p>

<p>I haven't taken a look at the tutorials yet, but is it good enough to help score a 5? What about the Princeton Review BC book? Would that be good enough to self-study or should I just use it in addition to these online tutorials?</p>

<p>Well the online book will help you learn the theory and some tips here and there to help you along</p>
