Self Studying for AP Calculus BC

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Hey guys, I am taking Calculus AB at my school next year because we don't offer BC. I was wondering how you would reccomend taking AP Calculus AB and self-studying for the BC exam.</p>

2

<p>Yes i would recommend it
i am doing it now and it is pretty easy, just use khan academy and your set</p>

<p>also, there was a thread somewhere about studying BC, which had a lot of good resources</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

I agree about Khan Academy.
Do you think it’s thorough enough, though? I’m trying to use it for self-studying BC (along with a textbook) and I wanted to make sure.</p>

<p>Can someone give the khan academy link (for calc BC). Thanks!</p>

<p>The Larson Calculus book does its job very well with reading the examples and practicing problems until you get the right answer…</p>

<p>Arc length/Surface Area of Revolution formula picked up in an instant.
Euler’s method
Features of a logistic function.
1st Derivative of parametric dy/dt/dx/dt
d/dt(dy/dt/dx/dt)/(dx/dt)
Speed of vector/parametric sqrt((dx/dt)^2+(dy/dt)^2)</p>

<p>That’s literally a big chunk of the gap between AB/BC that can be picked up in a day just by memorization.</p>

<p>Integration techniques + polar parts, do one a day, and infinite series, do a test a day–working your way to taylor polynomials… Which also can be done in one day if that is how long the teacher took to lecture on it.</p>

<p>And the other big chunk is series and sequences…lol</p>
