<p>I have the worst Calc. teacher. He's a new teacher & he has no idea what to do. Everyone that has him would agree with me. So basically he teaches a lesson in class & all of us would give each other the confuse look & then we go home & try to learn the lesson ourselves, because we, ap students, care about our grades. How do u guys self study Calculus? What books or prep books do u guys use? Videos? Basically what helped you guys earn a 4/5 on the calc exam because a lot of you ccers say that u guys self study ap exams & earn like 5's.....
Please give me tips & advices </p>
<p>i know im stealing the thread but would you guys recommend self-studing Calc BC because the average grade in the class last year was a C- (best of best students in school) and i dont get along with the teacher (will have had him for 2 years next year when i plan to take calc bc)?</p>
<p>Calculus BC–best of best students. Ha, last years average was about a B for the best of best students. </p>
<p>To study for the AP test: Textbook, online videos, maybe a prep book just in case. Make sure you know the topics and just run through the problems until you get them right.</p>
<p>–I am against “studying” how to do the problems, but if you have to do it for the AP test and college credit, whatever. To be good at Calculus you have to be able to do problem types you’ve never seen before and figure it out on your own. You get skills to do so from math competitions and practice without using help :)</p>
<p>Watch either KhanAcademy or PatrickJMT’s videos (or both) if you’re struggling with something. Both work great for me when I’m stuck on a concept.</p>
