#ap cal

I'm done. I don't think I'm gonna update this anymore, but if anyone finds this and wants to ask questions or message me, you're welcome to. I made it through all 6 of my exams in 10 days and I am exhausted. Maybe I will get all of my credits? I don't know. My brain is mush. 😶 Best of luck to everyone else on their exams.

Hmm well I guess I’ll answer this publicly in case it happens to help anyone else. Maybe some of my followers could add in anything I miss.

In my opinion, cal was easier than precal because you don’t have to deal with weird stuff like imaginary numbers and conic sections. It just makes more sense to me. And on that note, you will barely use anything from precal in cal.

I’d say the most important thing to know going into AP cal is the unit circle. If you covered limits in precal (we did, but i don’t know if every school does), then that will help a lot too. 

You’re also going to want to know your way around a graphing calculator. Your teacher should help with that since it’s pretty integral to certain parts of calculus.

If your school/school system has study sessions, go to them if possible. If not, then studying with friends can make it a lot more bearable.

I was lucky and had a great teacher who gave us a lot of practice in what we needed to know. Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher for clarification or anything, because it can be confusing at times. I felt confused a lot of the time and ended up doing really well by the end of it, and now I’m going to be majoring in a very math-heavy field in college.
