<p>Does the sparknotes website [Math</a> Study Guides - SparkNotes](<a href=“http://www.sparknotes.com/math/index.html]Math”>http://www.sparknotes.com/math/index.html) provide a comprehensive review of everything that’s needed for/in Cal AB and BC tests?</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>I looked through it and no, I don’t it does a very good job as far as structuring. For AB, you may need to know a bit of the BC I and maybe even BC II topics. However, for BC, I think everything is pretty much covered. Just make sure you get a lot of emphasis on integrals for AB as well, which SparkNotes does not seem to do very much…</p>

<p>as long as i read the cal ab and bc, all of cal ab is covered for sure?</p>
<p>Yes, I think if you do that then you should be perfectly fine for AB (maybe even a bit overprepared but heck that never hurt!)</p>
<p>thanks…</p>
<p>The two sections that I would read from the BC section that jumped out at me as necessary for the AB exam are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Velocity and accelaration: Listed under “Applications of the derivative (BC)” but definitely part of the AB exam.</li>
<li>Volumes of solids: Listed under “Applications of the Integral” under the BCII section only. You don’t need the shell method detailed there, and you might want to find a better resource to help you practice/understand this, as this section seems small.</li>
</ul>
<p>I might have missed others, but these are two you’re going to want to hit.</p>
<p>^Thanks a lot!.. Are the topics of the BC which are not on the website?</p>
<p>I’m not familiar enough with the BC exam to really speak to it, but from what I know of it, the section appears to cover all of the topics.</p>
<p>One thing that caught my eye as I looked at the partial fractions section was that I believe there is a mistake in the integration component of it. It has to do with integration rules for functions of the form 1/x. In the section that covers the basic antiderivative rules, it uses the ln (as it should). But in the partial fractions section, it uses the common log instead.</p>
