Taking AP Calculus BC Exam without learning BC material?

Well, I’m not sure. You could probably get a 4 if you studied, and then get a 5 on the AB subscore. And even if you got, like, a 2 on the BC part (which is kind of impossible–you probably learned improper integrals, integration by parts, and at least basic series things like proving convergence/divergence), you would still do fine on the AB part and get credit for it.

The thing is that for the free response, the sixth question will be Taylor series, which you’ll end up learning at the last second, and my teacher is expecting a polar question (which are trickier than parametric) because they haven’t appeared in a while. If you do well on the other free responses, though, you couldddd pull a 4.
