r/apcalculus

How do you feel about it ?

so i'm taking the late BC exam and my school administered the regularly scheduled BC exam which had a polar FRQ. considering this, do you think the late BC exam will have a polar or parametric FRQ? or more generally, how much will the late and regular AP calc BC exams differ? will the designers intentionally make it so they are as dissimilar as possible orrr..? any insight from previous years?

I'm an international 11th grader, and in my curriculum, we barely cover anything calculus except functions, basic derivatives and integrals in senior year. I'm interested in improving my math overall without risking my actual GPA, but I'm a bit worried it might be too rigorous and take away too much time from my actual studying, since I'll have to take it externally. Is it a, worth the struggle, and b, manageable in the circumstances of a weak math foundation and not too much time to give?

Hello everyone, I'm in an international course and I had a final on the 11th. So im taking the retake on thursday. I'm somewhat confident but I was wondering if anyone knows or what anyone thinks the test will have a lot of. On top of that will the FRQs be the same (different values obv). My teacher was pretty bad so Im 99% self taught.

Hi I've taken ap precal this year and I believe Im a good student as far as tests and grades and stuff. For ap exam prep, I was also on track for 4s and 5s. Butt lowkey on the ap exam, i got stuck on something stupid so now I think I might have gotten a 3... (horribly managed my time) which is not rlly an exceptional grade obvi especially since I'm enrolled in bc. My teacher had also recommended me for ab because I had a lower A in his class. I really want to take bc and I think I can handle it and put time into it and since precal was one of my first aps, I know what things work for me and what I need to focus more on.

Do yall think i should drop to ab or keep bc? 🙏

Hey, so I did something very stupid, I decided to cheat on my AP Calculus AP exam by using my phone and I got away with it but later someone decided to snitch. My school then reported me to collegeboard and I got an email this morning saying my score has been canceled however the case is still open. What are the chances I recieve a permenant ban from collegeboard? I truely regret what I did, I really dont want to recieve a perm ban as that would destroy my future and my chances of getting into college.

hi i’m an 11th grader in Arizona who’s looking to take calc bc over the summer and go to calc 3 since i was bored out of my mind in my last two math classes. i was told it would be very difficult if possible at all (i’m also taking spanish 2 over the summer). so i was just wondering a few things if anyone has any answers to the following:

1. is it possible to fit both classes in a 1-2 month period in your opinion and if it is how difficult would it actually be
2. where could i find an in person class if possible (in Arizona)
3. where could i find an online class if possible
4. how much harder do you think calc 3 would be if i took a summer course

Thank you!!!!

hey yall, next year i'll be self studying bc after taking ab this year. i'll be taking an online course so i should have ap classroom resources available but i'll have to teach myself all the content. does anyone have advice for learning the bc content? thanks <3

Yall I need help. PCC thinks its a great idea to force students taking AP Calc AB to learn Unit 9 (which is BC) after teh ap test is over. I don't understand anything... PLS HELP!!!

Anyone else's school have a precalculus class that allows you to skip AB and go straight to BC?

For us, we learn precalculus all of first semester and some of second semester, then we learn the first 2 units of AB/BC. Then the following year students take BC, unless they opt out to take AB or an easier class.

Our school also has the traditional AB to BC route, but that is so redundant bro. Imagine having to relearn the same thing two years in a row. BC is just 2 additional units. They should get rid of AB lwk.
