Hello everyone,

I have been wondering, and am extremely nervous on the topic of preparing for AP Calculus AB. You see, I have EXTREMELY weak math skill foundations, for a few reasons. I fell into depression my sophomore year of high school, so I did not learn much from Algebra II and thus struggled in Pre-Calculus my junior year.

Is there any way I could study really hard before school starts in these topics?
I do plan to get a prep book for AP Calculus AB, but I mean, what resources are considered the best for helping me brush up on my Algebra II and Pre-Calculus skills?

Perhaps any websites like Khan Academy? Or do I have to purchase self-study books (Although, I’d prefer not to).

I am determined to study really hard this year so I get good grades in this class.

Thank you.
