<p>Be honest now.</p>
<p>The last math course I took ended at the end of my sophomore year (Calculus, but my school doesn't offer the AP level, and it was a half year course, run 90 minutes a day, every day)...however, I think I have a pretty good background in math and at least a basic grasp on Calculus. </p>
<p>I'm willing to do what it takes to practice, review, drill, and learn, however much time I'll have to set aside, and I'm opting for the lower level. I really don't think I'll be able to pull off the BC and maintain my sanity.</p>
<p>What do you all think? I'll need an answer ASAP, because I'm going to talk to my guidance counseller tomorrow. I emailed a nearby school for the AP before the time limit CB set; they only said they were pretty sure I could take it there and haven't contacted me since, so this would be my last chance to back out.</p>
<p>It's not too much. Is it?</p>
<p>my friend self-studied for the ap calculus ab exam as a sophomore as he was taking algebra II, and made a 5. If you've taken calculus already, and are planning to do whatever it takes to do well...then i'd say go for it.</p>
<p>He self-tutored himself as a sophomore in algebra II?</p>
<p>That's it. I'm going to have to take it now No possible excuse. By the way, how long did he spend?</p>
<p>he started pretty late...i think he started studying for it 6-8 weeks before the exam? Something like that....maybe less...All I know is that he caught up to, and passed the material that the AP Class was currently learning....if I remember correctly, he used Princeton Review.</p>
<p>make sure that you can extensively use related rates, integrals, antiderivatives, and other things ive missed very well. </p>
<p>if you can, thats great. go for the AP</p>
<p>You should be fine for the AP test. My school does AP Calc. AB in half a year for 90 minutes a day (block scheduling...). Also, the regular class would have learnt all the material, maybe just not as difficult of problems. If you study, you should def. be fine. Good luck!</p>
