<p>Well, I've only done Algebra 1 (highest I could go up), but I've studied Algebra 2, needed Geometry, Precalculus (Functions), and Trigonometry. I'm doing a review of these topics and a "preview of calculus," which is new to me through Barron's E-Z Precalculus. I was wondering of I could place out of all these classes into AB or BC. I'm going to a new school next year, and I don't know if they have a placement test. Does your school have one? Can you explain what to expect from one? I was thinking of studying Calculus AB over the summer. Is there a good textbook that's recommended to use for the class that I can use in BC and possibly Multivariate Calculus? I want a book with a lot of problems and a great solutions manual with problems solved in steps. I'm not a big fan of Stewart, if that helps your recommendation. I plan to work through Barron's, Peterson's, and Princeton Review as a guide to what AB topics to learn, and to work as a guide if I get confused. Also I could use the second parts of the book in the following year to study for the BC exam (if this goes through :D ). I hope to use those practice tests to test my knowledge on the AB part. </p>
<p>TL:DR?
I want one I can use in further calculus classes. I hate James Stewart's books. What are math placement tests like?</p>
