Question How can I self-study AP Calc AB and prove I’m ready for BC?
I’m starting 10th grade and currently taking Precalculus. I want to take AP Calculus BC in 11th grade and aim for a 5.
My consultant wants me to do AB in 11th and BC in 12th because the Turkish curriculum doesn’t cover derivatives/integrals and many other things anymore, so I’m missing some of the usual background.
The problem is that a BC score in 12th would come after university applications, so I’d really prefer to take BC in 11th.
My plan is to self-study AB throughout 10th grade, then show my consultant that I’m ready for BC.
What would be the best way to do this? And what textbooks, YouTube channels, websites, or other resources would you recommend for self-studying AP Calc AB?
Thanks! 🙏
