<p>I'm thinking of taking AB or even BC...</p>
<p>I'm very competent in math but I'm no genius. I have a textbook at my disposal and many friends who took AB so they'll be able to help me. Can I pull off AB? Remember I have no calculus background whatsoever.</p>
<p>What about BC? Are there many more topics to cover? Is it significantly harder? Can I pull that off?</p>
<p>What do you think?</p>
<p>I'm unsure about BC but I'm pretty confident I can get a 5 on AB with a lot of effort.</p>
<p>i would strongly advise against self-studying bc. bc is a continuation of topics in ab.
the ab class is fairly easy so far. the two basic ideas of calculus are basically to find the slope/instantaneous rate of change of a graph at a certain point (derivative) and the area underneath a curve between two points (integral).

you might be able to handle learning it in 2 months, but i think you’d be cramming too much. i would recommend studying ab over the summer, then self-studying bc next year (unless you’re a senior)</p>
<p>No. You do realize that the exam is in approximately 8 weeks, right? That doesn’t leave a lot of time for studying, especially if you have a lot of other APs/homework/ECs, and you probably won’t have much time during the week. But that’s just my opinion</p>
<p>yea i agree with zekey. you’re going to end up cramming everything and forgetting it after. study ab over the summer.</p>
