Yes you read that right. I am a rising 8th grader who will be taking an online AP Calc AB course this year, and will take the BC exam. I would appreciate it if I were to get tips for the course, the exam, and anything related to it. In case this helps, I took Algebra 1 in 7th grade, Online Geometry course during 7th grade, Online Algebra 2 Semester 1 in 7th grade, Online Algebra 2 Semester 2 during summer, and Online precalc during summer.

Hello next year I plan to take:

AP World
AP Gov
AP Studio Art
AP Lit
AP Calc AB
Honors Anatomy & Physiology

I know this will be a challenge especially during college app szn, but I am so incredibly excited to learn. Does anyone have any tips and tricks for these classes, so I still have sufficient time for my extracurricular activities and social life? I don’t want to feel spread thin or extremely stressed. If anyone has any past notes or just words of advice, I would be extremely grateful!

is it a 3 or 4 ?? im international tho,,

Hi, I will be taking calculus BC next year in high school. What books should I study this summer to get a head start on the content? I took pre-cal last year, and I didn't take AB so I don't know any calc yet. I'm currently working through the khan academy course for BC so will that be sufficient?

I'm self-studying AP Precalc right now and planning to take AP Calc BC next year, and honestly studying alone is kinda rough. I keep getting distracted by games every day lol.

If anyone wants an accountability partner or just someone to study alongside, let me know. A little friendly competition might help us both stay on track.

If you're looking for a study partner too, send me a DM and let's study together.

whoever got their early score release could u PLEASEE PLEASEE justt like say what u thought u took like raw score prediction and your actual score?? Like mcq/45 and frq /54 please pease😭

i took algebra 2 in my freshman year of highschool and im taking precalc over the summer... but the precalc is not that great

precalc syllabus:

• Pre-Calculus A
• Unit 1: Equations and Inequalities
• Unit 2: Functions
• Unit 3: Polynomial and Rational Functions
• Unit 4: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions
• Unit 5: Right Triangle Trigonometry
• Pre-Calculus B
• Unit 6: Graphs and Trigonometric Equations
• Unit 7: Trigonometric Identities
• Unit 8: Sequences and Series
• Unit 9: Conic Sections
• Unit10: Introduction to Calculus

i wanna prepare for calc the BEST i can so what should i learn in addition?

How much do you think you took out of 108? Like raw points

My calculus bc teacher gives super difficult tests. They are difficult because of very tricky application problems (like physics, engineering, etc), large numbers, multiple chain rules or terms for differentiation/integration, and very limited time. What are some books that provide extremely hard application problems in calculus from limits to vectors? Calc 1/A, Calc 2/B, Calc 3/C material.

I am taking the AP Calc AB course next year and wondering if I should do any pre-learning. I took Calculus 1 this school year and did pretty well. My summer assignment wants us to learn Unit 1. Should I prelearn Unit 2 to be successful?

Hi,
I’m so nervous. I usually get testing anxiety so I’m not surprised that I’m feeling like this however it is so so bad. I genuinely need a 5 on this test I worked so hard studying every single day since August ( I self studied) . I constantly scores 5s on the mocks I took but I panicked during the MCQ during the real exam because of the nerves I had going in. Please let me know if you felt the same way because I’m actually going insane.

How did you feel after the test what were your predictions and what did you actually get I need to know!!!

As per the title, please suggest me a book to learn calculus 123 were I already finished pre calculus and many of peoples suggest thomas and James Stewart book

yall im really nervous what the cutoff might be they are saying 77/108 i would say okay if the exam was easy but international exams were really hard like i have solved a lot of questions and these top all of so what do yall think like they say US was easy do u think we would have the say cutoff?

What do u guys think the curve will be for a 5 for this years international ap exam?? I see people saying its 70% for a 5 but isnt that too low??? And since the percnetage of 5 got lower from last year does that mean the curve will be lower????? Please someone answer😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

this year as a sophomore i just finished geometry and i want to challenge the 2027 calc bc exam, but idk where to start on studying. watching videos isnt really helpful as i get distracted really easily, so i wanna rely on textbooks that are for complete beginners and work on practice problem sets.

is this plan realistic? what textbooks are recommended for a complete beginner for learning alg2, precalc, and calc bc? what should i focus on first to avoid getting stuck?

i found algebra 1 fun and easy, but geometry was tough for me this year

I'm taking a DE PreCalc course this summer so I can take AP Calc AB senior year and was wondering what I should watch out for. I took honors algebra 2 last year and did pretty well (final grade was 97%) but I just wanted to know what I should try to self-study a little this summer so at least the first couple weeks will be a little easier.
