<p>I’ve never been the best at math, but many universities I’m looking at require AP Calc for either economics or finance. I am taking precalculus now and I find it pretty hard (I have a B+ but I don’t work as hard as I should be working). Now that I found out I need calc I want to understand its difficulty. Would extensive tutoring (3 hours/week) be enough to compensate for the lack of learning this year in precalculus? </p>
<p>I think if you take AB, you should do fine.</p>
<p>Calculus AB isn’t that bad, especially during 1st semester. All you do is learn limits, derivatives, and maybe start integration. As long as you understand what you’re doing and how everything works, then you will be fine. Tutoring would help but I think as long as you ask lots of questions in class and understand the material, you won’t need the tutoring. Maybe have a study group with friends.</p>
