💡Studying Tips & Tricks

• Practice, Practice, Practice. Even if you’re a pro at taking derivatives and integrals, you need to know how the College Board is going to test you. Be sure to take practice exams and grade yourself once you finish. Pay close attention to the rubrics so you know what you will need to include to get full credit for each question. ✏️

• Spend extra time reviewing Units 9 & 10. Since these units are for Calculus BC only, the College Board puts an emphasis on these questions on the BC exam. Make sure you’re well-versed in polar, parametric, sequences, and series because they are worth a large portion of your grade! 🖇️

• Don’t be afraid to ask for help! AP Calculus BC is two semesters worth of college calculus and you’re taking the exam in high school. It’s not an easy test! Make sure you’re actively participating in class and asking your teacher questions when you don’t understand something. The better you understand the material, the better you’ll do come test day! 🤝

Studying for AP Calculus BC can take a lot of time! When it comes closer to test day and you increase your studying time you have to make sure you are eating and drinking enough. It is incredibly hard to stay motivated and study effectively when you are dehydrated and/or malnourished.
