Taking AP Calculus BC without having taken Precalc?

If you have a terrible teachers for pre calc like I did, then you don’t necessarily need to take it. My calc teacher (who is absolutely amazing), retaught our entire calc bc class pre calc in two days, although we did have some background knowledge. See if you can get some tutoring from a teacher or friend before the class starts so you have trig and such down.

Also, don’t worry about taking calc bc. The ab class at my school went at the same speed for the first two or three chapters just incase anyone wanted to switch in or out. It’s really not too bad, and my precalc base was pretty sketchy too:) I just got a 5 on calc bc (5ab sub), so I guess that shows that it can be done.

Good luck! If you have questions or need help message me! =)
