Did not take pre-calculus (going into Calculus)

OP, I was in the same boat as you. I neither studied for Pre Calc nor took the course, but I studied AP Calc BC on my own and got a 5 on the BC exam and 5 on the AB subscore. I prepared for AB too and I know a lot of material there, and it seems that much of Pre Calculus isn’t needed, except trig and geometric analysis (drawing graphs of polynomials, multiplicity, and a bevy of rise and fall… those stuff.)
