Look, I am not going to lie, calc bc is difficult without first taking calc ab and/or precalc. In precalc you really work hard on functions to strengthen your understanding of them. You also cover trig and everything that comes along with that. Calc bc is very fast paced and calc ab is there to begin the dumping of info. I suggest either taking precalc and afterwards bc (skip ab) OR take ab and then bc (skip precalc). Personally I suggest the first more, because that is what I did and I am doing better than I thought. (I am also good at math and had a super high grade in algebra 2 hon.) THAT IS JUST MY SUGGESTION! :)
