decided to be productive before the year ends! i go back to school on the 2nd and I didn’t want to go back without having done something productive during break. so, i watched some khan academy and worked on my related rates project for bc calc.

can't say I've been entirely productive lately, but I've sure been busy. time to figure out integrals before the rest of the calc test tomorrow! 🤙

for those who have taken calc bc and ap physics concurrently in junior year, how much time did you spend on those two classes combined per day/week? also what resources do you recommend to self study those two classes in the summer?

Response from Parvati:

I spend an 2-3 hours on physics per week and around the same on bc. So 4 hours on a really good week just from webassign and practice and 6 when both have tests LMFAO. I don’t study a ton, but this could increase a lot with how much time you put into studying. I personally did not self-study, but some good resources are khan academy, the physics and bc textbooks, and auerbach youtube videos (!!!).

What is the difference between Calc AB and Calc BC? I am planning to take AB first and BC after.

Response from Evans:

We've answered asks about this in the past, which you can find using the search bar. e.g. https://realtalk-tj.tumblr.com/post/190468051326/what-would-be-your-recommendations-for-deciding

TJ offers 'BC after AB' now as a separate course, so it won't be overly repetitive.

i have a b+ in bc rn and it's been a real struggle lol (started out with a rlly bad grade lol). any advice on how bring it up to an a- esp since the class is only based on test grades and is ending in march w/ final in april? currently i do all the 30 page packets and textbook true & false)

Response from Padma:

Congrats on bringing up your grade!! I can definitely relate to you because I had a horrible grade in first quarter that made me consider dropping down to AB until I was able to slowly bring it up 😭It seems like you've figured out how to study - from what I've seen, the trick to getting the last couple of points on the tests is just about mindset - it's so easy to make a few silly mistakes on a test and all of a sudden you're down 10 points :( What I've done to help with this is just practicing from a different lens. At a certain point, you know the material well enough that application becomes the tricky point. What I do is I solve through a couple of problems from each lesson and then go back once I'm done with all of them and see common mistakes I've made, and work from there. In addition, I've started writing one-page "cheat sheets" before every test that really help on just the memorization side.

Also, don't worry, we still have 5 tests left! (2 cumulatives + 3 tests and I think there might be another post AP exam unit? not super sure) You definitely have time to bring up your grade, just work with your teacher and you've got this!! Gl anon!

hey so im a rising soph. my tentative schedule is: ap calc bc, ap cs, robo 1/2, whg2, english 10, chem 1, plus hpe 10. i think my hard classes will be bc plus chem, maybe whg2 or english but u cant prep for those, so what are some resources i can use to prep for those? also, is the rumor that ur math 4 grade is an estimate of what u'll get in bc accurate? ty for being so helpful!

Response from Flitwick:

For BC, they really like to hit the ground running with limits, so if you could brush up on that last limits unit from Math 5 (esp. clever ways of evaluating nasty-looking limits and sometimes those graphical ones can be tricky if they want compositions of functions?) that would definitely be a good idea! Khan Academy or Paul’s Online Math Notes would probably help in general for that or for other miscellaneous things throughout the year, in addition to the textbook (Early Transcendentals 10th? ed., by Anton, Bivens, and Davis).

Chem might depend on who you end up getting... but I guess I could supply some summer chem advice that might apply to people generally getting into chem for the first time! At some point, you should definitely learn by heart the most common polyatomic ions/elements used and their chemical formulas -- and there are probably lists out there you can search up on quizlet/in the Study Guide Group on Facebook? This is just immensely useful when you get into doing reactions and stuff later.

I think even the teachers use your Math 4 grade sometimes to recommend whether or not you should be taking BC the following year! The reason is because the pace of learning things in BC is sorta similar to the speed at which they throw new things at you in Math 4... which I think is generally accurate!

How should I prepare for BC over the summer?
