<p>Iāll join in. I am taking my final tomorrow and feel good about it (I have a 96 in the class). However, I am worried that the class is too easy and I wonāt do well on the AP test.</p>
<p>What do you guys recommend? Should I get the Barronās book and work through it next semester? I am thinking of getting ahead of the class and watching some Khan Academy vids on what we are learning next.</p>
<p>As a person who likes being efficient, the limit process of finding the area under a curve infuriates me.
Weāre having a quiz on that and indefinite integrals tomorrow, and Iām horrified Iāll make a stupid mistake and lose 7 points (which happens on this teacherās tests).
Even better is that we actually already learned definite integrals, so itās easy to just check in five seconds using those. XD</p>
<p>What are some good websites for explaining derivatives and inversesā¦Iām confused and probably will fail tomorrowsās test making me fail the course for the semester!</p>
<p>Can anyone help me with optimization? Iām really struggling
Iām an A student and I ended last term with a 96 overall grade, but optimization just doesnāt click! Any secrets about it or anything?</p>
<p>Does anyone have prep books for Calculus AB? If so which ones did you use? Also does anyone have the 5 Steps to a 5? I have a question about itā¦</p>
<p>Well, we start limits in precal near the end of the year. So at the start of AB we review for a week or so and go straight into Continuity. We just finished Integration not to long ago, and are in the middle of applications. 2nd semester is mostly all about BC topics and reviewing over previous topics. So itās kinda like BC, but not really. It doesnāt seem to make much sense. Also I am taking AP Chemistry, and Dual Credit English Composition; so I am definitely having my days where I just want to break down. I think I am managing fairly well though. Your guides are extremely helpful CSMath. Thanks for all your help!</p>
<p>I got a test this monday on Optimization, Rolleās Theorem, Mean Value Theorem, Concavity, and some other stuff since I go back to school from winter break this monday :(. Anyone know any good review websites? Im sure these kinds of questions have been asked countless times, and I apologize for it. Thanks guys!</p>
<p>We just had a āquizā (even though it seemed like a 25 point test) on basic integration. Sure enough, everyone spent the entire class period on it. Iām so nervous for this midterm we have coming up this Friday >_<. Apparently AP Calc AB is the only class in our school which offers two grade curves because itās so hard. It adds a specific percent onto your existing grade, AND THEN the 1.125 AP weight. Itās ridiculous. Iām taking AP Physics C, and not even that class has an individual grade curve.</p>
<p>Weāre just doing area under the curve now, seems like it wonāt be that hard. Is area between curves significantly harder? Math always seems that way- starts with easy principles and then builds on them to make them harder :(</p>
<p>If you need help with area between curves (or just area under a curve in general) look here:
